The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs

Not very many new recipes:
If you buy only one of the Abs Diet books, this isn't a bad one. It does goes into the diet for about a third of the book, so you don't really need the other books as far as that goes. It also has some ideas for menus as well as some exercises you can do at home. I do like the conversion chart he has in the back of the book for overseas readers, as it has not only oven temps and weight conversions, but also pan size conversions. Very useful if you like to collect recipes from other countries. Most of the recipes are easy to prepare, but a good number of them really should have been written in "basic recipe with variations" format because that's what they are (the smoothies being but one example). Would have made for a much smaller book though, and this is only 6.5 by 6.5" with a lot of margin space to start with. His overall writing style is somewhat annoying, especially the recipe titles, since often they give the reader no clue as to the ingredients required. Also, why he prefers instant oatmeal to say, rolled oats, is baffling (my guess is that "instant" fit in with his Abs Diet acronym). You can pulverize rolled oats in a blender or spice grinder just as easily. If you already have any of the other Abs Diet books, check this out of the library first to see if there's enough new info before you buy it. 3.5 stars

Disappointing:
This books simply seems like another way to make money using the Abs Diet label. The original book was great and even the follow-up but this adds very little -- maybe a couple of new recipes here and there. I did not need all the information about the Abs Diet all over again -- I just needed recipes -- very disappointing. Next time, I'll check something out at the library first because I never would have purchased this book if I had seen it first.

Best Diet Cookbook:
I have really enjoyed this cookbook. It has a variety of different meals to cook on this diet. The only thing that lacks is the time that it takes to cook the meals. I know it says 6 mins but actuality it is more like 10-15 minutes.

too simplistic:
I found the recipes and guidance to be too simplistic in this little book. The recipes are supposed to be simple, but I almost hesitate to call them recipes. Many of them are the type of concoctions that we create when we "creatively" throw together stuff that is already in the fridge. If you are a real beginner in the kitchen or you need a little creative guidance for basic healthy meals, then this is for you. Those with cooking experience or a passion for food and flavor will probably be better served elsewhere.

6 minute meals for 6 pack abs:
I liked this book, but only wish it had more recipes to try. Good ideas and a good base to follow for meals. I don't eat Salmon, but like many books, there are plenty of meals with Salmon or some type of fish. However, the author does include an assortment of meals. Would recommend for a guideline on how to start the diet.
