Top it off with creamy, decadent, banana"Frosting", and it's "to die for"! "Peanut ButterSquares"?Move over Reese's!Great tasting desserts are hard to comeby--but you won't be wishing for them if you buy this book, and I haven'teven mentioned the great appetizers, breads, soups, salads, veggies,breakfast dishes, and entrees! You've got to have it!

Product Description
This book contains real, great tasting, easy recipes. They are all low carb, no sugar, no flour recipes suitable for anyone following the Atkins diet, the Protein Power Plan, the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, the Zone and the Neanderthin diet as well as those needing no sugar recipes for diabetic diets. When was the last time you ate a really good cookie without feeling guilty? Try the peanut butter cookie on page 150.
I know there are hundreds, if not thousands, of low carb recipes on the Internet. I've personally tried many of them. The problem I've found is that 1) they don't taste very good and I'm not wasting any of my carbs on something that is marginal, 2) the carb counts frequently aren't right and 3) they are too complicated.
(Note: All carb counts used in this cookbook have been obtained from the USDA Internet data base. See page 11 for address.)
I owned and operated a restaurant for six years to a daily packed house crowd and am well aware of pleasing the customer, repeatability and ease of a recipe, the need to be specific with ingredient brands and just plain eye appeal. I spent a lot of time doing up front developing on a recipe so it could be prepared by anyone from the instructions on the wall.
My best advise for anyone wanting to follow a low carb diet is to get the book of the plan you are going to follow and read the book -- all of it. There are a lot of self-proclaimed experts due to their experiences, but nothing can replace getting the facts from the real experts. Again, read the books.
