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.

Review of Eat Yourself Thin With Fabulous Desserts (Paperback)

This is a great book. The author has combined together in a clear and simple format some of the best and easiest recipes I have seen for low carb eating. The recipes are quick to make and delicious to taste. One of my favorites was a Ruben Lasagnea. This conbines corned beef, swill cheese and sour cream for a blended taste. The recipes are well laid out and it is easy to find variations on your favorite recipes. The ingredients are simple and found in most kitchens. I highly recommend this book !
