Organic Chemist and Diet Counselor Dee McCaffrey knows all to well what it's like to be overweight. From a chubby child to an adult, she always struggled with her weight, finally tipping the scale at 210 pounds on her tiny 4 foot 10 inch frame. Using her chemistry background, Dee then discovered the fattening qualities of artificial ingredients and manipulated foods like today's flour and sugar. She then changed her diet and lost 100 pounds, nearly half her weight, and has kept it off for over a decade. She now leads seminars, does personal weight loss counseling, and produced this long awaited cookbook. It includes over 100 of Dee's private recipes to maintain her 100-pound weight loss for all this time. Many of them have not yet been released to the public or can only be obtained from paying $250 to participate in Dee's nutrition classes. Dee also describes in detail the "Six Most Important Foods for Weight Loss and Good Health" and explains in scientific terms why not eating whole grains is dangerous and why eating processed flour and sugar would make a person gain weight. As an added bonus, Dee has included the home recipe for her famous Dee’s Mighty Muffins (www.deesmightymuffins.com), so you don’t have to buy them in a store just to enjoy their great taste and beneficial qualities.

Dee McCaffrey is one of the most knowledgable individuals on this planet when it comes to food, nutrition and what the foods do to your body when you consume them. She has a wealth of information and comes from a place of knowing exactly what it's like to have been overweight herself and what it takes to overcome food addictions and be joyous with eating. Not only does she give you her facinating story along with before and after photos, she gives you the six most important foods for weight loss and good health, what to buy at the supermarket and the tastiest recipes ever!

All you have to do is get the book, follow the advice for 30 days, and then enjoy the spectacular results! The best part of it is not only will you feel like a new person, you'll lose weight, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get off the diet rollercoaster!, March 3, 2006

This review is from: Dee's Mighty Cookbook: Tasty Cuisine for Flourless and Sugarless Living (Spiral-bound)

Dee's Mighty Cookbook is a common sense guide to improving your health through better eating habits, using foods that do not contain hormones, pesticides and other additives and in the process bringing your weight to a healthy level and keeping it there. Dee herself has maintained a 100 pound weight loss for over 13 years.

Don't let the flourless, sugarless label scare you off. Dee's book encourages 100% whole grain flours, not the bleached nutritionally devoid stuff that is used in most of our baked goods. By sugarless she means using only natural sugars that still contain all the vitamins and minerals necessary to digest them properly. I have tried many of the recipes and have not found a single one that I disliked. Her recipe for McCaffrey's Yummy Irish Stew was excellent as well as the Vanilla Yogurt, Ezekiel French Toast, Dee's Mighty Muffins and her Mighty Herb Vinaigrette.

I recommend Dee's Mighty Cookbook to anyone interested in finally getting off the rollercoaster diet cycle and eating for optimal health.

This review is from: Dee's Mighty Cookbook: Tasty Cuisine for Flourless and Sugarless Living (Spiral-bound)

I am almost 60 years old and I have been overweight for almost half my life. I gave up on diets because I would struggle through a diet and then gain back my weight plus more after the dieting. I also suffer from pain in my knees due to arthritis. A friend let me borrow her copy of the book and as I read it, it just spoke to me. It wasn't about dieting. It wasn't about not eating or eating things I didn't like. It was about making educated choices while shopping, while cooking, and while eating. I found the book easy to understand and apply to my life. Within one week of eliminating white flour and sugar from my diet, my pain was reduced and my energy and attitude were on the positive side of the scale. I believe I will lose weight as I continue to eat healthier but as for now, I am glad to feel better. Because of the things I have learned from this book my eating lifestyle will never be the same.
