Review of The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook (Paperback)

After a year of losing 40 pounds eating according to their earlier book, Protein Power, I began searching for ways to expand my menus. I have bought several other cookbooks looking for adequate alternatives to baked goods, but was never happy with the results: Often too delicate, or too bitter, or they'd fall...
Now along comes Drs. Eades and Ursula Solom with recipes that are exactly what they advertise: Comfort Foods. Tonight, we enjoyed delicious Chili Con Carne with Black Soy Beans and slices of Best Whole Wheat Bread and butter. All low-carb, satisfying and delicious. For breakfast, we added a slice of Super Banana Bread mini-loaf to our plate of ham and eggs. Hard to believe it was low-carb, it tasted (and rose) just like the real McCoy.
Most of the recipes freeze, so I can make a variety of baked goods on the weekend, freeze and have them handy for days to come.
I can hardly wait to try the Cinnamon Rolls, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Elegant Biscuits and so much more.
If you enjoy a low-carb lifestyle, this book belongs in your arsenal.

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.

I bought this because I'm finally getting close to my weight loss goal. Yes, I used Protein Power Life Plan for my weight loss and this book is geared towards low carbers, although I think almost anyone can use it.

It's a pretty simple book. There is an explanation of how you transition from a loosing phase to a maintaining phase, there are examples (taken from their practice) of how others have transitioned and there are meal plans and recipes. Most importantly tho, is that there is a section that allows 365 days of recording your meals, activities, etc.

Review of The 30-Day Low-Carb Diet Solution (Paperback)

If you already understand and believe that eating low carb is the best way to loose weight and improve you health this is the book to get you started fast!
I already own their other books, I think the first Protein Power book is excellent, but there's a ton of details you have to read through to understand how your body works and why this diet is best.Many other authors have similar books with the same details, but their diets are different.I believe in PP most.It's easy to follow, not as strick as Atkins and who doesn't feel good about a married doctor couple writing about this new way to diet.Actually it's not at all new, Atkins came up with this diet 20 years ago.The 11/2002 Duke Univercity study has proven the diet safe and more effective than low fat diets, so low-carb is in the limelight again.
I was worried the book would be worthless for me since I have many other low-carb books, but it's an excellent quick read and get's you into the details of the diet fast.I will recommend this to all my friend that want to know how I lost 35 pounds in about 4 months (still working for more).
About half the book is text, the other half is menus and recipes.The menus are great for those that just want to follow a plan and not worry about menu planning.They are so well planned, they even built in use of leftovers the next day.All meals are interchangable so if you don't like a certain lunch, just sub with another.The recipes are very good and get you going.Many other cook books are available if you want more, but cooking low-carb and finding foods that may be new to you isn't always easy.
Buy yourself this book and start the new year out right!
