Well, if youre interested in this book, youve decided to go low-carb. Good for you. But if youre like me, you still want delicious food to eat besides broccoli and steak for a meal. This is a great cookbook, easy to follow, with all kinds of recipes for every kind of meal. Recipes for delicious bread (5g of carbs per slice.. less than Atkins Bread you buy at the store, Im pretty sure, and tastes much better!), cookies, protein bars, mayonnaise, even granola, brownies... also what to do with green beans and broccoli (again!), chicken and everything else. Be prepared to go to your health food store for some of the ingredients, or to order them online. Im not a great cook, but I didnt have any trouble at all making delicious food with this book. She explains the ingredients youll be using in the book, and how flour is replaced with low-carb ingredients. She also lets you know how many carbs are in each serving of the recipe, along with how much fiber and protein. Just be careful, if youre on the South Beach Diet, a lot of these recipes are NOT low fat, and are calorie dense. A lot of them are phase 3. Definitely get this book if you want a variety of delicious recipes. I also highly recommend The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook to go with it. These 2 cookbooks keep my husband and I happily on the diet. And, believe it or not, we had a low-carb holiday season and didnt gain a single pound. And it was easy and delicious!
I have several low-carb cookbooks on my shelf. This cookbook is the most comprehensive, varied and is the easiest to use. 1. There are many recipes for delicious meals, snacks and desserts that Id never thought of. 2. The ingredients are not hard to find to make these dishes. It is important not to keep eating the same low carb foods over and over again, because it can lead to boredom, and that can lead to slipping. In this sense this recipe book can get the low-carber to think "outside of the box," when it comes to what we eat. For the number of recipes and the price, this cant be beat. Here are some examples of great tasting meals for you and your family that are in it: mouth-watering marinades, vegetable lasagna, pizza with without the crust, all-meat chili, cheesecakes, and even coffee cakes. Spaghetti squash to chicken wings, its written in a friendly easy to read style set in the kitchen. Pick up the book, then head to the kitchen.
Dana, my one question for you, is where in this book or your others, or even your website for that matter.....are the pictures of you 40 pounds heavier??!! Jeez.....you and Dr. Phil....walk the walk!
