The Low-Carb Cookbook 74 reviews
Fran Mccullough
Hyperion, 2001
exquisite, well developed recipes
I love this cookbook! I know 5 stars is the highest rating. Here's why it has earned all 5:
1) It's exactly what it claims to be: a low carb cookbook. Yes, some of the recipes are high fat, but it never claims to be a lowfat cookbook or a cookbook that works with any particular diet regimen like Atkins or The Zone or Sugarbusters or whatnot. It's wonderfully low-carb.
2) Like a good ...

500 Low-Carb Recipes: 500 Recipes from Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love200 reviews
Dana Carpender
Fair Winds Press (MA), 2002
Truly low carb, truly delicious and varied.
Dana Carpender knows what it's like to live a low carb life, she's not a nutritionist just going by the numbers. It's obvious she likes to eat, loves food and likes variety. The ethnic recipes are a taste treat and worth it even if I have difficulty finding some of the ingredients.
Her section on Ingredients You Need To Know About should be in all low carb cookbooks. Finally, I know the ...

15-Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More62 reviews
Dana Carpender
Fair Winds Press, 2003
Great, Quick Low Carb
I purchased this book at COSTCO for very cheap. I've been on the lowcarb lifestyle off and on.
The recipes are 15 minutes start to finish and taste great. I am considered a very good cook by friends and family and have been impressed with the wide range of flavors. Other reviews of "very hard to find ingredients" is just not true. This has become our go-to recipe book for the week when we ...

Suddenly, it all makes sense!
I bought this book a few months ago and it has been a tremendous help. I really do have more energy (no more 3pm caffeine/sugar cravings!) and look and feel better. Finally, I have learned the best way to consume carbs. Over the summer I have gained new, lean muscle and dropped fat. Everyone says I look great - people have really noticed. I also found the program very easy to follow and simple to ...

Confessions of a Carb Queen: A Memoir 32 reviews
Susan Blech
Rodale Books, 2007
One of the BEST EVER!
Being a nutritionist, I have read many books that have tried to do what is so successfully done with confessions of a carb queen-- key word- TRIED! This book is for anyone, male or female, who has ever had any sort of struggle with learning how to put themselves first! it's about relying on something outside of yourself, in this case food, as a way of running away from what you really want in ...

200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes: Healthy Dinners That Are Ready When You Are!35 reviews
Dana Carpender
Fair Winds Press (MA), 2005
Overweight and think you're too busy to do anything about it? This is the book for you!
I just described myself in the title of this review. I'd lost 45 lbs. doing Atkins 6 years ago, when my kids were small and had no actvities to go to. I gained it back towards the end of pregnancy 4 years ago.
I've known I needed to get it off, but now the first kids are in multiple activities, and it's very rare for us to get home before 7:30 p.m. With normal cooking styles, we'd be lucky ...

Great lowcarb cookbook- a must have
I love this cookbook. Full of some fantastic recipes and mounds of information on low carb products. Try the chili recipe with black soybeans, I couldn't tell the difference from any original recipe using kidney or pinto beans. YA gotta have this one.

The Low-Carb Bible4 reviews
Publications International, 2003
Good General Grounding
The low carb bible is a large scale, hardcover book with a ton of information. It compares the various diets, explains why they work and offers practical recipes and tips. The book isn't trying to indoctrinate you in the low carb lifestyle. It gives both information on studies supporting low carb as well as the concerns that some have about this lifestyle. It lets you make an educated decision ...

Great Resource!
This book is much more than just a list of carb counts. First, it teaches what carbs are, including the often confusing sugar alcohols. Then it gives you a choice of carb counting methods, from very basic to very technical. It teaches how to use each method, read labels, and estimate when necessary. There are food lists for each method and quizzes to make sure you're understanding the info. Of ...

Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living44 reviews
George Stella, Christian Stella
Simon & Schuster, 2006
Stella Style
I am not a cook. I don't know how to throw a meal together for a family, since I am single. But this is a great book for people who are tired of eating the same old thing with the Atkins diet. The recipes are easy and with practice can add flair to your cooking. I particularly like the sections that teach you how to make sauces and spice mixtures

Absolutely Fantastic Cookbook!!!
I am not a vegan/vegetarian, but wanted to add more low carb vegan meals to reduce the amount of animal products we eat and to reduce carb intake as we are both pre-diabetic. Well, I am thrilled with this cookbook! I bought 7 vegan cookbooks recently, but I've cooked almost exclusively out of this book alone, and so far, all of the recipes have been GREAT! The 'Portobello Patties with ...
