I was disappointed with this book and I don’t use it. Recipes list carb counts but do not list fiber content. This leaves you unable to know the net carb count of these recipes. Try “500 Low Carb Recipes” by Dana Carpenter it’s excellent.

Authors are trying to peddle their own diet plan (high protien) and unless you’re interested in that, don’t bother buying this book. There are too many weird ingredients needed for many of the recipes. Not a good cookbok for the average user. I’ve had it for about a month and haven’t used one recipe.

There are some useable recipes in this cookbook, but for someone sensitive to dairy it is almost useless. There are no suggested substitutions for dairy free cooking and believe me if you don’t tolerate whey powder you will not like this book. Full of sour cream, whey powder, gluten etc. you will be in a world of hurt if you are like me who gets arthritis and rheumatic pain from these allergens.
Nice try, MD’s. Too bad you know next to nothing about alternative nutrition!

When I bought this I though it would help with family snacks & “comfort food”. We live in a very rural area, and most of the supplies they use to prepare these foods are not available nearby. I have hit an “insulin resistance” stage of my life, with diabetes running in my family lineage. I am about 20 lbs overweight. I just thought this book was horrible. I want ways to improve our foods, not totally change them from things on our farm or found locally. The layout of the book was also bad from my view. When I get a cookbook I want a simple layout, with this there is too much chatter mixed with the recipe. Also they talk in the first chapter that you can substitute things – ie real sugar for splenda – yet not a single recipe shows conversions or how you would change their recipe. I have been limited to 50 grams of sugar per day – and I hate sugar substitutes (including splenda). To me this book was a total waste of my money & time. If you are into some health kick and want all the expense & time of these recipes then fine. But if you are looking for changes due to hitting a ‘pre-diabetic’ stage in your life stay away from this book!

Recipes are good but loaded with fat and calories…don’t use unless you are a strict Atkins’s dieter.
