I was excited to see that Betty Crocker had a cook book for low carb. I'm looking to get back in to the low carb ifestyle but when I looked in the book the recipes don't look to be low carb at all. 1 1/2 cups of flour? Potatoes? Low fat cheese? SUGAR??? I can understand maybe a smidge of this here and there but it seems to push the envelope a bit too far. If you can tolerate a higher percentage of carbs or you have a preference for small portions this book may be just the thing for you. If you need to cut carbs significantly though this book is not what you're looking for.

I gave it two stars because I thought maybe the recipes in it might be good. I don't know because I didn't dare try any.

I bought this cookbook because my husband is a Type 2 diabetic and the Atkins-type diet is ideal for diabetics. Imagine my surprise when the first recipe I looked at called for sugar AND fruit juice! Very disappointed -- this book went immediately in the trashcan....

This cookbook is wonderful! The recipes are very tasty and easy to make. So far, I haven't had to buy a bunch of unusual ingredients to make any of the recipes. I am a type I diabetic, so it's great to have so many new choices. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Living Low-Carb isn't always easy but having a cook book that has a lot of simple, delicious and easy to prepare choices sure helps. You can always count on Betty Crocker!
