Understanding How To Count Carbs Is The Key To Successful Low Carb Dieting!

If you are sick and tired of trying to find the ideal way to keep track of your carbs, only to get frustrated and give up not knowing for sure how many carbs you have eaten for the day? Then this will be the most important article you read today. Let me tell you why:

There is more to counting carbs than you might have first thought. To be more precise, there’s more to the carbs themselves and how they should or should not be counted in The Atkins Diet, The South Beach Diet, or any other Low Carb Diet, than you would have ever even considered.

I’ve tried The Atkins Diet, The South Beach Diet and many other low carb diets, but there always seemed to be something missing. Then I discovered “Ultimate Diet Secrets” by Dr Greg Ellis, and I was hooked! -- I literally shed my last few stubborn pounds virtually overnight! Not only was I able to take it off… I have kept it off, for over 5 years now, and I owe it to Dr Ellis for opening my eyes to the whole truth, and the software product I eventually designed to help me accurately count carbs, so there would be no guess work involved.

That’s when I took it upon myself to design diet software from the ground up, that could accurately track weight loss, daily carb intake and progress all in one. I recently gave a copy of CarbTrack to a personal friend of my wife’s. She is in her mid thirties and has been overweight most of her adult life! Even she was able to easily follow her favorite low carb diet and shed those stubborn pounds that had been haunting her for decades.

Understanding how a low carb diet works, how to accurately count your daily carbs, and seeing real results right in front of your eyes, make CarbTrack the perfect tool for any low carb diet. This software is quite literally the bible of low carb dieting. If you’re new to the low carb diet or semi-experienced, you’ll see immediate results and drastically improve your chances of keeping it off for life.

There's a host of great features included in CarbTrack:

• Search and add a meal from our powerful, editable Database of over 3,000 foods with USDA Nutritional Values
• Add a meal to your calendar and all nutrients are automatically calculated, with emphasis on the carb counts
• Input your body measurements as often as you wish and track them with graphs as you progress
• One click access to your daily carbs, calories eaten and burned adding to the flexibility of your favorite Low Carb Diet
• Tallies calories burned for many exercises and weight training routines
• Plan your meals ahead of time with no guess work involved
• Spot weight loss trends and duplicate it for continued success
• Informative graphs to see where you make progress and where you need improvement

• Track your BMI, (Body Mass Index) as you progress to a new healthier you
• Enter your daily body measurements and track your progress with informative charts
• Add exercise routines, track your progress as you lose weight and gain more strength

Even if a low carb diet isn’t your diet of choice, the functions I have built into CarbTrack will help on any type diet.

It’s really easy to get a copy. CarbTrack is in electronic format that downloads right to your computer. You can use it each and every day to track your successes right on your own computer.

Generic diet software in stores cost over $50, and they don’t really teach you what you need to know so that you can be guaranteed to lose the weight you want. Other diet software on the internet can be as much as $80 - $100, and they’re usually good but they were not specifically designed for the low carb diet.

The cost of CarbTrack is only $37.00.

You don’t risk one cent because you’re covered by a 60 Day 100% Money-Back - No Risk Guarantee! Order CarbTrack, and give it your own personal “test run”. Take a full 60 Days, and use it as your own. If you aren’t once again losing weight or able to keep it off unlike before…or if for any other reason you’re not completely thrilled…simply send me an email directly… and I’ll rush you a complete refund of every cent. No questions asked. No hassle. No Delay.

Low Carb Hazelnut Zabaglione Roulade
Makes 8 servings

unsalted butter
4 oz. ground hazelnuts
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
6 large eggs
1/2 cup Steviva Blend or equivalent
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Grease a 15-by 10 by 1-inch pan with butter. Line with parchment paper and grease with butter again. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Combine the hazelnuts, baking powder and salt. Separate the eggs. With an electric mixer, beat the yolks and Steviva Blend or equivalent with an electric mixer until thick and lemon coloured, 3-4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Fold in the hazelnuts. With a clean bowl and beaters, beat the egg whites to firm peaks. Stir 1/4 into the hazelnut mixture. Fold in 1/2 of the remaining whites until barely combined and then the remaining 1/2 until thoroughly combined. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top springs back when pressed lightly.

Wring a clean dish towel out in cold water. Flip the cake along with the parchment paper onto the towel with the long edge along the long edge of the towel. Roll up lengthwise and let sit on a rack until cool. Unroll and spread evenly with the Zabaglione Cream, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Loosely roll up, using the parchment paper to aid in rolling. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Zabaglione Cream

4 large egg yolks
2 Tbsp. Steviva Blend or equivalent
pinch of salt
1/2 cup Marsala
3/4 cup whipping cream
In a stainless steel bowl, whisk the egg yolk, Steviva Blend or equivalent and Marsala together. Fill another larger bowl 1/4 full with iced water. Set aside.

Place the egg mixture over a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly until the mixture triples in volume and falls in a ribbon from the whisk, 3-5 minutes. Immediately put the bowl over the bowl of iced water and whisk until cold.

Whip the cream to soft peaks. Fold into the egg mixture and refrigerate until ready to use.
