Review of More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes: A Three-Stage Plan for Keeping It Off (Paperback)

This is a low fat/some good fat cookbook masquerading as a Low Carb cookbook.One dinner recipe Peasant Soup with Cheese Toast has more than 45 grams of carb per serving.Another dinner of Creole Chicken, Brown Rice and Watermelon tops out at more than 60 gr carbs for one serving.I honestly have not looked at each and every recipe, but just glancing through this books says it is not what it is titled.

Product Description
The meals presented here are geared to long-term weight loss without compromising nutrition or flavor. The recipes are not only low in carbohydrates but also low in saturated fat, featuring lean proteins. More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes is based on a formula that shows readers how to reintroduce carbs into the diet, without regaining their lost weight, through three phases. Each phase includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a total of 63 meals and 105 recipes emphasizing fresh vegetables, monounsaturated olive and canola oils, and lean meats and fish. Also included are Super Speed Suppers (15-minute dinners), Weekend Meals, Entertaining, color photographs, and a wealth of practical tips. And thanks to the author's advanced degree from the Cordon Bleu Institute, these recipes are both healthy and delicious.
