Summary: This is SENSIBLE
Review: Jeez, the recipes might have a smidgen of flour or cornmeal BUT they are not laden with mayo, high fat meats, and tons of cheese like the other low carb cookbooks I have seen. If you are interested in cutting back on carbs without clogging your arteries, this cookbook is AWESOME!!!!!!!

Summary: Only Cookbook You'll Ever Need
Review: This is an excellent book! Easy to read, 7 pages of unbiased useful scientific information, carb counter chart, non-extremist, 30 pages of all day meal plans, baking tips sheet, and 200 pages of really great recipes in 8 categories such as appetizers, salads, desserts, side dishes and different meats. All this and it's inexpensive. (I plan to give it as gifts to my friends, too.) Helps you balance carbs/protein/fats at any age or activity level. I hope this can counteract the very lame negative comments others have made about this wonderful book. Check it out for yourself!

Summary: This is SENSIBLE
Review: This is not a low carb cookbook. Ingredients used are: All-purpose flour,regular sugar. All the type of ingredients that a true low-carb follower would never use. I am on maintenace and the amount of carbs in these receipes would send me into insulin highs and result in cravings. They don't even suggest sugar free products when they could be used, ex. maple syrup and jams for glazes. This is just a regular cookbook that would have to be adjusted to meet a low-carb lifestyle.

Summary: Diabetic, maybe - NOT LOW CARB
Review: This would be a good cookbook for diabetics who still eat flour, potatoes and sugar, BUT for those of us following a diet such as Atkins these recipes are useless! One recipe called for 1 1/2 CUPS of flour!!! I about fell on the floor. And a word to those people that think diets such as Atkins are all fat all the time: 1. You need to eat higher levels of fat since that is your energy source on this diet. Low-carb AND low-fat is a DANGEROUS combination. 2. Having said that, you do not eat bacon at every meal. I eat chicken, fish and veggies, too - I just don't freak out if the restaurant puts butter sauce on my veggies.
