Book Description:
Low-fat or low-carb? A recent New York Times Magazine (July 7, 2002) cover story answered this question and said that Dr. Atkins was right all along, “its not fat that makes us fat but carbohydrates.” Though the government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in research trying to prove that fat is the cause of obesity, there has been a subtle shift in the scientific consensus over the past five years supporting what the low-carb diet doctors have been saying all along: if we eat less carbohydrates, we will lose weight and live longer.

One of the toughest challenges of any diet is having enough variety and choices to keep the dieter from losing interest. The most common reason that people abandon their diet is boredom but 500 LOW CARB RECIPES: 500 Recipes, From Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love by Dana Carpender has more than enough recipes to keep even the most finicky dieter on track.

With recipes for everything including hors d?oeuvres, snacks, breads, muffins, side dishes, entrees, cookies, cakes and much more, this is an endless supply for creating meals for the whole family night after night. Whether everyone in the family is on a diet or not, these recipes are proven winners with adults and kids alike.

Also included:

  • Many one-dish meals for single people–main dish salads, skillet suppers that include meat and vegetables, and hearty soups that are a full meal in a bowl.
  • Ideas for breaking out of old ways of looking at food with suggestions that save time and money and change what is considered a normal meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Information about where to find low-carbohydrate specialty products and descriptions of low-carb specialty foods found in grocery stores everywhere.
  • An entire chapter that lists and describes low-carb substitute ingredients such as fats and oils, flour substitutes, liquids, seasonings and sweeteners.

Dieters will be pleased to know that they can eat foods like guacamole, omelets, pizza, steak, ham and dessert without giving up great taste and still lose weight. There are enough recipes to create the perfect menu for any holiday of the year–including Thanksgiving. Each of the 500 recipes includes a carbohydrate count to help calculate the total carb intake of each menu.

There are more recipes for main dishes and side dishes than most low-carb dieters will ever be able to eat–everything from down-home cooking to ethnic fare; from quick-and-easy weeknight meals to knock-their-socks off party food. 500 LOW CARB RECIPES is the last cookbook any dieter will ever need to buy and certain to be used until the binding is worn out!

Average cook book by Cyberdealer
Can’t say I use this one too much. Most recipes seem bland. Yes, I know Atkins/Low Carb can be bland but…just didn’t keep me interested.

Best low-carb cookbook ever! by Deb F.
This is the best thing that has come my way since I went “low-carb” two years ago! I use at least 4 or 5 recipies per week out of this cookbook. I only wish I had found it sooner! Sauces, salads, dinners, desserts… you name it, it’s in there! Most recipies are very easy and include ingredients I have on hand. LOVE IT!

Excellent recipes for Celiacs/Gluten-Free Diets by Beth
What an excellent resource for people living with Celiac Disease! Most of the recipes in gluten-free cookbooks are just weird, using bizarre substitutes for wheat, and tasting even more bizarre than they sound. On the other hand, this book has hundreds of recipes that are gluten-free, including cakes, pies, and gravies. I am so grateful to my friend Sharon for suggesting this low-carb book for my gluten-free diet. Its opened a whole new world of food for my family.

Excellent cookbook by Krayfish
This is the best low-carb recipe book I’ve found. Easy-to-follow instructions, inexpensive and delicious recipes abound in this book. Dana gives you lots of tips which help you think out of the box to alter ingredients for your taste/budget. I’d recommend this cookbook to anyone who is going low-carb.
