Review of Low-carb Ideas : Good Food2 (Paperback)

This book is so great. It offered many different ideas to begin my low carb diet. I'm not a creative person in the kitchen, so it's hard for me to come up with creative eating choices. This book gave me easy & quick ideas to ideas that had a little more to them, but still easy enough to make. Everything I've tried so far has been great. I LOVE the low-carb chocolate mousse with strawberries. It's enough to get you over your sweet craving.

Product Description
Please note that this book is entitled, "Low-carb Ideas - Good Food2." "Ideas" is the key here. There are some things I have written that give "ideas" and are not meant to be exact recipes. I have enjoyed hearing about what several readers have come up with as a result too. There are also some recipes that give you credit for having decision making skills enough to determine if you want to put more salt than pepper or how many pepperonis you might want on your crustless pizza, etc.
The "ideas" in my books are very simple to follow and will surprise you with the great end-result. I've even had a few single guys write and say how they impressed their dates they had over for dinner. Some of those have been fun to read! One lady said she had lost 50 pounds by getting help from using "2." Another has written to say she has never found a cookbook she wanted to try more than just a couple of the recipes or laughed that much while reading it. Another reader said my recipes are just how they cook around their home and asked for another copy for a friend. That happens a lot. This book also contains numerous recipes that give exact measurements. I also give out my e-mail address so you can ask me any questions about any of the recipes. (ideasbyme@aol.com)I have gotten so many wonderful comments and requests for more that I have written "Low-carb Ideas - Good Food3" that should be out very shortly. It will have over 250 more ideas.I also have a REGISTERED DIETITIAN do all of the carb counts for the entire recipe. You can divide what portion you wish to eat to determine your carb intake. My book varies on ideas too to let you determine what carb-intake you can have on a particluar day. Some things like the use of "Cool Whip" may seem odd at first until you divide the portion and realize you had a fabulous treat for around 5 carb grams! I want to thank all of you who have written me and thanked me for authoring this book. Your comments make it all worthwhile. I know those with kind comments ususally don't take the time to post reviews, etc. but even so, your e-mailing me directly has kept me going. With "3" out shortly, I have now started work on "4" with over 100 new recipes already that are piling up to be published. I also appreciate those of you who have sent me a few ideas or inspirations for recipes. Thanks for everything and keep in touch! God Bless!Donna

Review of Low-Carb Ideas: Good Food 3 (Paperback)

I enjoyed"Low-carb Ideas - Good Food2" so much I had to buy "3." I'm so glad I did! I have enjoyed the cheesecake and all the fast and easysoups the most. The soups gave me quick lunches that took about five minutes or even less for some from start to finish. Very low-carb and in some cases less then 1 gram for the whole thing. This has helped me stay on my diet because I can have time to figured out an evening meal, but lunch gets old if I only eat meat and cheese. Then did I mention cheesecake? Enough said.
