Preparation
1. Calculate the number of "loaves" in a non-ABM recipe by allowing 3 cups of flour per "loaf" (or 2 cups flour for a 1-lb machine). Rounding off is fine; if a recipe calls for 5 cups flour, I figure that's close enough to 2 loaves for government work. Remember to add in ALL the flours, if there's bread flour plus WW flour plus rye flour plus ... you get the idea. Most handmade bread recipes seem to make 2 loaves.
2. Have MM resize it to 1 loaf.
3. Manually change the yeast and sugar amounts to whatever suits your machine. In my R2D2, 1/2 tb yeast and 1/2 tb sugar are optimum. (If you don't know what works best in your machine, don't try altering recipes yet! Try a number of different ABM recipes and start looking for a pattern. What amounts give the best results?) If the amount the resized recipe calls for is dramatically different from what you know works in your machine, don't worry. Stick with what works in your machine. (This does not apply to sweet breads; since my R2D2 doesn't produce usable sweet breads, I've not tried to convert sweet bread recipes and have no guidelines to suggest.)
4. Add the dry ingredients and oil/butter/eggs to the machine. Measure out the liquid and pour in HALF of the measured amount. (If your machine calls for putting in the liquid first, and you're terrified to use a different ingredient order, put only HALF the measured amount of liquid in.) Start the machine and let knead a few minutes. Add remaining liquid, a little at a time, until the dough is the right consistency. (Again, if you haven't used your ABM enough to recognize the right consistency when you see/feel it, don't start adapting recipes yet.) You may need to add more liquid, or you may have liquid left over. Make a note of how much liquid you actually used.
5. When the bread is done, evaluate. Didn't rise enough? Add another 1/8 cup liquid next time. Overflowed? Reduce the liquid by 1/8 cup. I don't remember the last time I had to adjust anything except the liquid.

The problems associated with reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Reducing carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those obtained from vegetables, grains and fruits.
Multiple studies over the years have proved that high consumption of animal fat can lead to greater risk of cancer, coronary disease and other major health problems.
Wonder foods with carotenes
(includes carrots, collard greens and sweet potatoes)
These amazing healthy superfoods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought by many play a key part in cancer prevention, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. The majority of these are low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet.
