[.ca] 500 Low-Carb Recipes: 500 Recipes, from Snacks to ... (ISBN 1931412065)

Not worth the money:
No way is this book worth $20, or even $14. It's a mish-mosh of recipes quickly thrown together to cash in on the popularity of lo-carb diets. The author is interested in making a few bucks, not in presenting you with good recipes. Some of the recipes are so basic and low-brow that they reminded me of my first days of cooking as a college student. Others were complete disasters. One of the reasons I bought the book was that it has several recipes for lo-carb breads. I went out and bought all the expensive, hard-to find ingredients and made them carefully according to the recipes. Not one of them was even edible. I've bought a lot of cookbooks over the years, and still enjoy buying a new one, but I will never buy another cookbook from this author.

Not impressed!:
My only complaint about this book is that many recipes call for artificial sweetners, canned foods rather than fresh, and other un-natural additives such as whey protein powder.

A Great Low Carb Diet Saver!:
Just when I think I can't think of anything else to make for dinner that will fit into my low carb lifestyle, I purchased this book. It was the best investment I could make in my low carb lifestyle. The recipes are pretty easy and there are tons of great ideas. She also has many diversified recipes, I already made the Indian Cabbage and the Spinach Paneer, the chocolate cheesecake and a few others. I must say the dishes were not gourmet but they taste pretty good for low carb cooking. I will continue to reach for the book when I am out of ideas and tailor the recipes to my tastes, the cookbook is worth the money and I think you will like it too.

Very creative but easy:
I bought Dana's 15 minute low-carb cookbook first and was so impressed I just bought this one. I love them both! I've been on (and off) low carb for several years now. Actually, I had been more off than on for several months. I was just very bored with the food. These two cookbooks have inspired me and I've even started losing weight again. I'm an avid cookbook reader and collector but Dana's cookbooks contain ideas I haven't seen anywhere else. Yet, for the most part, I find them easy enough for weeknight cooking. If you're sick of eating low carb, YOU REALLY NEED THIS COOKBOOK!

Here's what I think about it...:
If you're into the whole low carb thing and are looking for recipes to keep you on track, then this is your book. I found it to be organized well and gladly give it 5 stars. Also recommend "The Multifidus Back Pain Solution" if you suffer from back pain.
