Summary: Restaurant fare, simple to prepare!
Review: Anyone who follows Dr. Schwarzbein's recommendations -- or the Suzanne Sommers plan, or any of the other high protein, low carbo programs -- will find this cookbook to be a treasure! It is hard to believe such delicious meals also promote optimal health! I especially appreciate it that the recipes are very easy to prepare, all the ones I've tried used ingredients I already had in the kitchen, they're eye-pleasing on the plate -- and best yet -- every one's a winner, simply delicious! Whether you follow the Schwarzbein program or not, this book is essential for anyone's cookbook collection.

Summary: A Lifesaver!
Review: Dr. Schwarzbein has created a fabulous EASY program, and her recipes are da bomb! I have lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks, and it's been effortless - I could easily do this forever. Her food is delicious, easy to make, and REAL. There's no bizarre ingredients that you can't pronounce. And about desserts, well they technicaly aren't legal. But I've had dessert almost every day while on her program *and* losing weight. And I'm not talking about sugar free Jello! I mean real cheesecake, real chocolate truffles, real whipped cream on berries. If you get her other book, "The Schwarzbein Principle", you learn about what foods affect you in what ways, and how to eat carbs so that your system responds the way you want it to. You *must* get this program!

Summary: Must Buy!
Review: I bought the original book..the schwarzbein principle... and than this one. I was really glad this book was available. Sometimes it is confusing to work a *plan* into your daily diet (if that makes sense)... even if you understand the concept. This book was very helpful in making recipes that were very good, easy...and within this plan. I didnt have any difficulty finding ingredients for the recipes and i am really enjoying some of them alot. If you bought the original book this cookbook would make staying with the plan easier as you dont have to come up with your own recipes...or *re-do* ones you have... very good book!

Summary: not so great
Review: I got this book on accident ( I thought I was ordering the Schwarzbein Principle), but since I had it, I thought I would go through it. The recipes weren't very creative and the book contained no pictures (something I think to be important in cookbooks). For a good cookbook, look elsewhere...

Summary: I Never Knew Dieting Could Taste So Good
Review: I never knew that dieting could taste so good. This wonderful, easy to use cookbook is filled with luscious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I especially love the salads and sald dressings. I can find all the ingredients where I shop, the recipes are time efficient and though I've never eaten better in my life, I've lost 10 pounds in one month. I like eating real food, none of this no fat, low fat, man made stuff that I see lots my friends eating while they get fatter. This is a diet for life for me. Way to go. Food for the New Millennium!

Summary: Where's the Desserts?
Review: I purchased this book for use on the Atkins diet. I looked forward to recieving the book with great anticipation. When it arrived I immediately went to the index to look up desserts--I was mortified to find them missing--surely my copy must be a misprint--the publishers must have forgotten to include this chapter--no cookbook is complete without desserts. (If you are on the Atkins program and are looking for desserts I highly recommend "Sugar-Free Cooking with Stevia" by James & Tanya Kirkland ISBN 1 928906 11 7.)
