Melissa Morgan is the writer, photographer, and mastermind behind her cookbooks. She is also the founder of one of the most popular low-carb sites on the web and has a devoted following among dieters, diabetics, and those simply trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Her mission is to prove to the world that special diets need not be boring or restrictive. Actually, she didn't choose the low-carb lifestyle; it chose her. Then, she discovered that with some perseverance, many high carb recipes can be made over into low-carb treats without sacrificing flavor. Melissa graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition's Health Coach Training Program. She earned a Doctor of Education degree in Gifted and Talented Education (2007), a Master's degree in Natural Sciences (1995), and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (1990). She now lives in New York with her husband and two children.
