The Nordic Way: Discover The World's Most Perfect Carb-to-Protein Ratio for Preventing Weight Gain or Regain, and Lowering Your Risk of Disease: A Cookbook

by Arne Astrup, Jennie Brand-Miller, Christian Bitz

Based on the practically perfect Nordic Diet, this gimmick-free and scientifically proven approach to eating will help you keep unwanted pounds off for good.
 
Powerhouse experts Arne Astrup, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller, and Christian Bitz know that the Nordic Diet is the “best diet in the world” for getting healthy and staying lean, even into middle age and beyond. As leaders in obesity research, glycemic science, and healthy living, respectively, they’ve learned that eating a specific ratio of proteins, whole grains, and vegetables and incorporating traditional Nordic ingredients such as rye flour, skyr yogurt, and rapeseed oil into one’s diet are the most effective paths to overall health and stable weight. There’s complex science at work behind the Nordic Diet, yet it’s remarkably simple and delicious to adopt. Readers will be able to see significant improvements in their health and weight—and even prevent the dreaded middle-age spread—without ever having to count a single calorie or eliminate carbs, dairy, and meat. Featuring an in-depth look at peer-reviewed studies that support the diet and more than 60 stunningly photographed recipes, The Nordic Way is the health-forward cookbook that readers need to get and stay healthy for life.

The basic idea is that our meals should consist of 1 part protein to 2 parts carbs. The recipes look good but include ingredients that I typically don’t have on hand.

Nice pictures, uninspiring recipes. Some useful information. Too many exclamation marks.

I didn't read the subtitle when I borrowed this cookbook from my library--I was just hoping for a Nordic recipe book. The recipes looked nice, and had some elements of Nordic cuisine that was expected. I found the whole "not a diet-diet plan" off-putting and manipulated. It reminded me of years ago in professional ballet school where everyone with an eating disorder was manically trying to find ways to make oat bran taste good. So the shift to manipulate into the supposed magic "carb to protein" ratio with some repetitive and esoteric ingredients felt like a gimmick based on the food fads du jour.

That could be good or bad, I was just looking for recipe ideas.

Following this diet has helped a lot with my chronic migraines.

Only three recipes really caught my eye: Hot Cereal "To Go," Tuna w/Wasabi, Cabbage, Almonds & Cucumber, and Chia-Crusted Tofu w/Tomato, Spinach & Green Bean Rice.

Loved it. Big fan of Skyr and Rye bread. Starting make both on my own.

Wow, if you like good, whole food like oats, chia, berries, and honey, this book is for you. So yummy!

A bit more of a way-to-lose-weight book than a cookbook, the recipes that were included were not many we would make.
