Dr Oz: Low-Carb Flour Review

Doesn’t it seem like every time you start a diet, you best friend decides she wants to become a baker for some reason and she is constantly asking you to try her new double chocolate cookie recipe? While it is hard to say no to such delicious food, Dr. Oz said you don’t have to turn the food away any longer.You simply need to change around the ingredients a bit. Dr. Oz explained how adding low-carb flour to your cake recipes will allow you to enjoy your favorite treats without any guilt.

Benefits of Coconut Flour

Jorge Cruise, author of The 100, said he loves carbs so much he had to go on a search for the healthiest flour alternatives he could find. When his low-carb flour quest was over, Cruise said he found the low-carb flours to be healthier as well as a good tool for weight loss. He also added that they are easy to incorporate into any recipe that calls for flour.

One of Cruise’s favorite low-carb flours is coconut flour. He said it is a wonderful flour because you can use at breading on your favorite fried recipes by simply adding a fourth cup of coconut flour for every cup of normal flour called for in the recipe.
