Review
We found and thoroughly love your cookbook. It's well done and filled with helpful tidbits (some of which were even news to us!) that low carb dieters will profit greatly by. We look forward to having it on our shelves. --Michael R. Eades, M.D. and Mary Dan Eades, M.D., New York Times bestselling authors of "Protein Power"
It's a war out there and Judy Barnes Baker knows it. "Carb Wars" accurately depicts livin' la vida low carb as it really is - a healthy and delicious way to lose weight and revitalize your life forever. The best part is she provides you with scrumptious recipes to do it right. Highly recommended! --Jimmy Moore, author "Livin' la Vida Low Carb"
Over thirty years ago, my husband, Dr. Atkins, started a revolution that changed the way we think about nutrition. As a result, those of us who love good food are changing the way we cook. Carb Wars provides more evidence that this healthy cuisine can be both indulgent and satisfying. --Veronica Atkins, author, "Atkins for Life Low-Carb Cookbook"

I've been a long-time Amazon shopper and read my share of many, many reviews. This is the first review that I am submitting because I really feel that this book should not be overlooked!
My husband is a diabetic and therefore HAS to stick to the low carb life if we hope to keep his blood sugar under control. Many low carb books written for diabetics don't truly offer recipes that are fit for a diabetic - carb count is just too high. Although this book is not targeted at diabetics, it offers truly low carb recipes that a diabetic can have (there are a few exceptions of higher carb recipes).
The author provides a wealth of information along with some fantastic, different recipes. We've tried many new foods using this book (chayote squash, celery root, jicama to name a few). There are "Tips and Notes" on most of the pages which add to each recipe/food item. One of my favorite chapters is called: "Starchy Side Dish Replacements" which presents dishes to liven up a ho-hum meal. The "Sources" section in the back of the book offers invaluable information.
In case you can't tell, this is my favorite low carb recipe book!

Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is amazing. My daughter sent me a copy and I was so impressed that I ordered two more for friends. It is more than a cook book, the research on diets through the last hundred years or so, and explanations on various sugars, alone was worth the price.The cooking notes on almost every page were very helpful. For anyone contemplating a carb restricted eating plan,or one who is trying to avoid sugar, this could literaly be a life saver.

There isn't another book like this anywhere. Recipes for people who love food and love cooking but don't want to LOOK like they love food! We've tried at least half the recipes and the food is just amazing. We are impressing the heck out of our friends, and not even bothering to tell them its low carb. Can't wait for the second edition!
