Review of The Low Carb CookwoRx Cookbook (Hardcover)

I first started the Atkins diet in 2004, when low carb was getting big.Suffice it to say, I did well on it but 2005 didn't work out too well, as it hasn't for others either, since the low carb "craze" seems to be gone.However, I wanted to get back on track.The problem is, Atkins doesn't excite me anymore and has a lot of don't do this, and do this but with products and specialty products that either are too expensive or don't exist anymore!

Then I saw the Drs. Eades' show on PBS, called "Low Carb CookwoRx" (which televises all these recipies) and I'm already mentally feeling like a new person.I just got this book for Christmas and checked out their diet books from my local library and am ready to start learning about their plans.Just from the show I'm amazed - not only are these recepies DOABLE by anyone, but they explain during the show WHY they are important.So not only am I getting low carb, but I know it's HEALTHY too.

Really, though, the main reason I was so excited for this book is that the recipies are not only foods that we all love, but involve using normal ingredients.Sure, there are a few that are specialty items, but for the most part, the only thing you'll have to buy that you're not used to is new, exciting, and healthier foods (e.g. celery root or butternut squash).Whether it's pasta, tacos, pancakes and syrup, or even pumpkin pie, they have real recipies that involve using foods and techniques that I KNOW and that are within my budget (and not just random, expensive, and specialty low carb products).

If you haven't seen their show and are unsure of this book, check your local PBS listings - the show is great, they're such a nice couple, and they make me EXCITED to cook (even more so this book)!I hope you all purchase this book not only because it's a great resource, but to show the Drs. Eades their plan is reasonable, doable, and beneficial to the REAL person.
