March 2017: Low Carb Noodle Recipes, Presentation by Marty Kendall, and New Authority Nutrition Articles

March is National Noodle Month. Traditional noodles have no place in a low-carbohydrate diet, of course. However, there are many grain-free, low-carb substitutions for pasta, and I'm fortunate to know a number of very talented low-carb chefs who've developed some amazing recipes based on these alternative noodles. This month, I'm sharing 5 low-carb pasta recipes that have been published within the past 12 months.

Presentation by Marty Kendall:  Nutrient Density and the Insulin Index 
September 2016, Low Carb Down Under in Brisbane
I'm excited to share this presentation from Marty Kendall, another brilliant engineer with expertise in blood sugar and insulin regulation. Marty lives in Australia with his wife, who has type 1 diabetes. For several years, they have followed a carb-restricted diet, which has greatly improved her blood sugar control and led to overall health improvements for both. While I've never met Marty in person, I find the articles on his blog Optimizing Nutrition extremely well written and informative. He's also an excellent speaker, as you'll see in the presentation below.
