    I would say my arthritis probably has the most low salt low carb recipes. In KITCHEN 101 and my arthritis cookbook, I highlight diabetic recipes which is really just the healthiest way to eat. If the recipe meets with the diabetic guidelines, it will be low salt and low carb. KITCHEN 101 has lots of diabetic recipes also. REmember, all books have nutritional information and will be better for you! I am going to have special for Black Friday so make sure you are signed up for my newsletters so you will get it! Happy Thanksgiving, Holly
