Rating: Summary: What is the Point? Review: Life without the sweetness is not worth living. This book is the answer you have been looking for in the realm of bringing that sweetness back into your life, without the evil carbs our society has us all addicted to. This book is a must. Also highly advised, the "New Sex Now" dvd.
Rating: Summary: Gourmet Low-Carb Recipes Review: I own at least a dozen low-carb cookbooks, but this is my "bible". I'm about 1/3 of the way through cooking everything in it, and am having a wonderful time. The only thing slowing me down is that I just received her new book "15-minute Low-Carb Recipes", and am using it on evenings when I'm short of time. Cooking is fun again!
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: this is an excellent collection of recipes for those on Atkins.
Rating: Summary: Missing Information Review: I was hoping this book could help with my preferred eating plan -- 1250 calories in a 40/30/30 mix of carbs, protein and fat. But since the author doesn't include any nutritional information other than carbs and fiber, I returned it.
Rating: Summary: This book helped save my diet! Review: I recently started the South Beach Diet and was getting bored with some of the recipes in Phase 1. I happened to see this cookbook in the mall and picked it up. It has been a lifesaver! I have made several recipes so far and they've all been excellent. I can't wait to try some of the "sweet" stuff too. Finding this book has made it easier to stick with my low-carb diet. I found it not a moment too soon!
Rating: Summary: cookbook lovers delight Review: I have a lot of cookbooks...this is the first one that I have ever read cover to cover. This book has the first explanation of what "maltitol" is that I have found anywhere. Excellent recipes, easy to use.
Rating: Summary: Low Carb Must Have Review: This book was heaven sent! It is a practical recipe book that is not filled with lots of gourmet recipes. It has things people eat on a regular basis. People who are used to eating at fast food places or whipping up Hamburger Helper for dinner. My favorites are the Protein Pancakes and the Oatmeal Cookies! They both taste so close to the real thing you would swear they had all their carbs. This cookbook has so many easy-to-make recipes that it makes it easy to maintain a low carb lifestyle. I was even able to find almost all the ingredients in my local grocery store and the rest can be found at Health Food stores. I was very impressed!
Rating: Summary: The best of low carb without tasting like diet food! Review: This is simply the best low carb cookbook out there! I like it so much that I bought a second copy for my mom, who is also low-carbing, because I wasn't willing to loan my copy out! Before I started on a low-carb way of life, I never cooked. Heating up a frozen pizza was about the extent of my cooking skills. With Dana's book, I get rave reviews from my husband (who is NOT low-carbing) on everything I make. My mom and I have so much fun cooking for family dinners - we made an entirely low-carb holiday meal last week using recipes from this book and everyone loved it! My personal favorite was the cauliflower kugel - I just finished the leftovers this morning, and now I have to make more because I CRAVE it! Dana has made the low-carb way of life fun - and I am deeply grateful for that.
Rating: Summary: wonderful!!! Review: I have been doing low carb for a few months and losing weight slowly and steadily.....when i read this book - i started incorporating the recipes into our daily menus!! they are great!!! my husband loves them!!!(he never diets) thank you dana!!! this is a wonderful cookbook!!!
Rating: Summary: CarrieF Review: I have bought a lot of books from Amazon.com, but this is the first review I have written. That in itself tells you how much I love this cookbook. I started my low-carb lifestyle armed with two other low-carb cook books before I found Dana's. If I had found hers first, I wouldn't have needed the other two. I've followed her advice, cooked her recipes and have lost weight without trying or going hungry, and best of all I feel great! Her recipes are delicious, quick and easy, and there are sooo many of them! You can find a recipe for just about anything you are in the mood for. My husband and I love every meal I have prepared from this book. And it reads as if a girlfriend wrote it just for you! I've recommended this cookbook to everyone I know, and I recommend it to you too! I can't wait for her new book, 15 Minute Low Carb Recipes. I will be first in line to buy a copy. Thanks Dana! You truly are the best!
