4.0 out of 5 stars educational and informational, January 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Brand Name Fat-Fighter's Cookbook (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a book that really explains nutrition and blows many "fat-free" myths out of the water. The recipes are great and it is helpful to have brand names listed. If the brands are available in your local store, it makes shopping a breeze. The nutritional information is thorough and the recipes are clear. My one critisizm would be that although the yield is listed, the serving size is not. It leaves you to guess what size serving represents the per serving nutritional data.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cookbook!, August 10, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Brand Name Fat-Fighter's Cookbook (Mass Market Paperback)

This book has lots of totally simple yet unbelievably low-fat recipes that are delicious. It's full of useful information about nutrition and diet as well. It's so easy to get the actual brand name items mentioned. She compares the fat in the finished meal to the traditional version of that same meal. The difference of fat grams is amazing, yet the food tastes absolutely delicious

This is by far the best cookbook I have ever used. My husband and I have lost a total of 25lbs in 1 month eating meals prepared from these recipes. Our cholesterol levels have decreased along with our weight. The ingredients are easy to find and the instructions are a breeze to follow. I highly recommend this book.
