Here at Ditch The Carbs, my mission is simple. To make low-carb and keto simple and tasty for the whole family.
I help people regain their health and lose weight by using low-carb nutrition - using my stepwise method in the 4-week QUICKSTART programme.
I have helped more people regain their health in the last few years by using low-carb nutrition, than in my 25-year career, dispensing medication.
I have witnessed for decades the effects of chronic high blood sugars in my patients. I understand how wide-reaching metabolic syndrome is to almost every chronic disease. I want YOU to live your BEST life!

Dear Ditch the Carbs team - I am very interested in buying your book; however, I have a question. Basically most low carb bread, pizza dough, tortilla recipes, etc. use almond flour. I like them but honestly the almond flour is so dense and heavy. I was wondering if your recipes have alternatives, less filling, less calories, etc. Thank you
Libby Jenkinson
Most of the recipes require almond flour, however, I do also have a large range of coconut flour bread recipes in there too.
