Handy & Helpful

This handy little pocket book was a gift from my husband & has proved invaluable particularly while grocery shopping andrestaurant dining. I keep it in my purse for quick reference & many of my co-workers are now borrowing it during the day to see what they're eating. A great little book!

Carb-Conscious Eating for Weight Loss and Health

As the author of the first "insulin-conscious" gourmet cookbook ("The Gourmet Prescription: High Flavor Recipes for Lower Carbohydrate Diets"), I'm thrilled that this book is making people more aware of their carbohydrate intake. The carbohydrate binge we've been on for the past decade has made us fat, tired, and sick! Carb-watchers interested in full-flavored, sophisticated food will need more than a gram counter, however. "The Gourmet Prescription" starts where this book ends: It's about intensifying FLAVOR as well as lowering carbohydrates! A full nutritional analysis (including grams of carbohydrate) accompanies each recipe.

Fabulous guide

This is a great program. Don't believe people who tell you that carbs don't make you fat. What they are saying is that carbs don't make THEM fat. They may not be in the 75% of the population that are addicted to carbs. Try it and see for yourself. If you are not addicted, you will get little benefit, but if you are, it will change your life!

It is a must for anyone starting a low-carb eating plan.

The book was easy to use, especially the way it included listings for fast food. It's also a great size so you can take it with you anywhere.

Most liveable program I have ever seen!

After being turned on the the low-carb manner of eating, I researched and read many of the books currently on the market...This book is the most liveable that I have seen...I may lose the weight 2 pounds slower a month with this book verses the Protein Power 30 Carb/per day program, but I can stay on this program for the rest of my life..Thanks again. 14 down, 17 to go!
