the majority of recipes that are low carb are not using veggies, just meat. And most have you pre-cooking it prior to putting it into the slow cooker. I want some that all I need to do is dump everything into it and when I get home in the evening I have supper ready, no muss, no fuss. They also use thickeners like flour and corn starch quite often, but these are better left out, you can add your veggies instead and still have less carbs than if you had used the thickeners! Several recipes suggest putting the meal over rice or potatoes, but don't add those carbs into the counts because they are not put into the slow cooker, you would have to fix them seperate. Gee folks, I already knew how to modify existing recipes, I wanted something for us diabetics!

I like the fact that the recipes start at lowest carb amount, to highest. (It also has an index for those who want by ingredient or alphabetical). The recipes I have had all had vegetables. I had chicken with green beans, stew with cabbage, and lentil (that included carrots, and green beans in the recipe) soup.

My family and I have enjoyed every recipe I have used so far from this book.

This is a great cookbook. It contains such delcious, healthy recipes, that even if you're not diabetic, you'll be pleased. It is especially wonderful if you're a crockpot cook, as I am.

I appreciate that each recipe has a notation for calories, fat content, fiber, etc., for tracking food intake. I use that feature a lot.

I'd like to see recipes for longer time periods (10-12 hrs, rather than 3-4), and more suggestions as to what to serve with the meal.

Book was exactly as expected. Arrived sooner than anticipated. This seller can be trusted. Book good for diabetics, recipes do not use ingredients that are not good for diabetics.

I use a slow cooker a lot. We are using more low carb recipes due to health concerns. So far I've really enjoyed this cookbook and plan to utilize it more. Recipes are fairly simple.

Simple and easy to make great tasting receipes. Great for anyone, not just diabetics. Bought this for a friend who is a bachelor...he loves it!

Just been diagnosed as pre-diabetic. These recipes should to postpone the inevitable for a few years. Delicious too.
