The Ultimate Low-Carb Diet Cookbook. Over 200 Fabulous Recipes to Add Variety and Great Taste to Your Low-Carbohydrate Lifestyle

I have tried about 20 of the recipes in this book, and Im ordering 3 more copies to give to my friends who keep borrowing mine. The crunchy biscotti (mandel bread) and delicious pumpkin walnut bread are unbelievable, people who dont care about low carbs love these desserts too, they dont taste the least bit funny. It is really easy to stay on a low carb diet when you can bake and freeze tasty desserts like these. The meat recipes are good, and I like the authors creativity with vegetables. the garlic and pine nut spinach has been a big hit with my friends. Not all of the baked goods were spectacular, but it is nice to have some variety. I found the roll cakes to be a little eggy, but still good. I have lost about 10 pounds, I wasnt very overweight to start with, but I am eating lots of vegetables and feel very healthy with the help of this cookbook.

I bought this book when I bought Smart Low-Carb Eating (Bettina Newmans book). I read the Newman book and tried a couple of recipes (which were very good), then re-read it. I then took a look at the Rodnitzky book and almost fell over when I saw the number of calories in some of her recipes. Lets not kid ourselves with this low-carb diet business. calories and portions do count. 700 calories in a serving Are you kidding Theres no way these two books are going to jibe. If you agree with Bettina Newman that theres a smart way to do the low-carb thing (minding portions, for one thing), you neednt bother buying the Rodnitzky book because youll do what Im going to do. send it back.

My doctor sais I needed to be healthier while on the Atkins Diet because I was eating too many fatty foods like bacon and eggs. A friend suggested this book to me, and it has opened up a new world of healthy, low-carb possibilities. And the best thing is that they all taste great too -- especially the desserts. I also bought one of the authors other cookbooks called The Lowfat Grill. Its also great for low-carb dieters who want to watch fat intake too.

ordered this cookbook based on the reviews, and ordered another called Fabulous Lo-Carb Cuisine. I paged through both and immediately put Ultimate Low-Carb Diet Cookbook back in the box to ship back for a refund. There were WAY too many recipes that I wouldnt even consider preparing...not because they didnt sound good...but that they werent quick and easy. Anything that involves trips to the speciality grocery store and a ton of ingredients and prep work is a turn off for me.
I instead kept the tiny book of awesome recipes that were quick, easy and realistic for my lifestyle. (Not to mention yummy)
This one was way too out there for me and unrealistic for daily use.

I own 10 low carb cookbooks (Atkins,Heller, Schwarzbein, Donna Johnson,Fran McCullough, Lauri Randolph, Gassenheimer,Doyen, Donna Rodnitzky)and this one is the best. The recipes are tasty and very well written and formatted. Some of the other books contain a lot of gourmet-ish recipes I would not normally make, others have recipes that are too boring and tasteless. The Ultimate Low Carb Diet Book gets it just right. Main Course sections include Rise and Shine (breakfast), Hot and Spicy, On the Grill, Exotic Flavors, In the Main, Strictly vegetarian. These are recipes I would chose to make even if I wasnt on a low carb diet. She also has about a dozen dessert recipes. I could not stay on the diet without this book.
