Product Description:
Dieters everywhere are realizing that weight loss is a simple equation: You have to burn more calories than you take in. Pretty simple, right? You just eat fewer calories. The problem is, most low-calorie cookbooks cut calories by cutting fat, which also means they cut nutrients and flavor! They also fill you up with unhealthy carbohydrates like sugar and white flour. No more! Dana Carpender comes to the rescue with 500 delicious and healthy low-calorie recipes that include healthy fats like olive oil and nuts and healthy carbs like brown rice and whole-wheat bread. It’s the best of both worlds, and the healthiest diet imaginable, because every calorie counts in terms of nutrition. There are no empty calories from fillers with no nutritional value. These recipes are delicious and healthy and will help you lose weight for good.

For Hardcore Fans by evol_v
I had high hopes for this cookbook, but it’s been languishing on my shelf since it arrived. Apparently, it was typeset by the blind, with four different fonts for each recipe, in a nausea-inducing attempt to be… creative? I’m not sure. Take it from a graphic artist: more than two, at most three fonts on a page is UGLY. In addition, the format used by the previous 500 Recipes, with one recipe on a page, is not used. If you’re sensitive to the beauty of a well-laid out book, you will hate this one. I’m sorry I can’t comment on the recipes themselves, since I found myself unable to read them, without an immediate headache. Get Carpender’s earlier books, or try to see this in the store first. If it doesn’t bother you, then you can go ahead and order it from Amazon.

Great book by Luckyduck
Dana writes the most useful cookbooks - no pictures but the recipes are easy and delicious.

Photos would have been nice… by M. Jennings
Its ok. The main reason I got this cookbook, based on the title, is to avoid excessive sugar, or, hopefully, to cut it out completely. The cookbook offers carbs and useable carbs, as a total, but doesn’t list sugars specifically. Also, I would have prefered some photos. Its functional, I would go to this book with a mission or a plan. Its not something I will leisurely look through for ideas.

very good recipes by Jerry D. Theilen
I am currently on a super low calorie diet when I get off of that this should be very useful in keeping it off
