So, due to being on Prednisone I have to watch my carbs and sodium intake along with my calories... Having a hard time trying to get some variety when planning my meals. Anyone have any suggestions to help me out? I spend lots of time looking for recipes, then have to alter them to reduce one of the three. Anyone know of a good book maybe? Thanks for any help.

    invest in the cookbook Make It Paleo. It is chocked full of wholesome, nutritious recipes and the Paleo ways tends to be lower carb b/c it cuts out a lot of the fillers (rice, bread, pasta, etc)

    I need to get that. I just listened to an interview with the authors and it sounds amazing. And I heard the photos are inspiring. I love good food photography.

    Another one to look for that will fit the bill is the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet Recipe Book.
