1.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone -- I returned it., August 6, 2002

By 

a Discerning Palate (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did!: Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook (Paperback)

I was disappointed, after reading all the 5-star reviews, to discover that these recipes are full of Dr. Atkins Bake Mix and Sugar Twin (both of which I find inedible), and crushed pork rinds (which she uses frequently as a seasoning and filler). There is a nasty-sounding recipe for Sweet and Sour Chicken that's made with Sugar Twin -- aren't there enough low- or no-carb ways to prepare chicken without resorting to this? If you want natural-tasting recipes made with "real" food, or if you don't eat pork products, this is not the book you're looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rescued from Diet Doldrums!, March 24, 2001

By 

Susan Dressel, PhD (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did!: Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook (Paperback)

At last! A well-qualified health-care professional and cook has developed recipes and a cookbook for those of us who know we need to minimize carbohydrates but think life just too short to stay on boring diet foods. Nancy Moshier has come to our rescue with marvelous dishes that even the kitchen novice can easily prepare, and that delight our taste buds while keeping us faithful to our low-carb regimen. With these recipes, we can indulge in fantastic cheesecakes and even creamy chocolate fudge, the treats we missed most when cutting carbohydrates. We now keep a backup supply of these, along with her Barbecue Meatballs and Salmon Patties, in the freezer. And we never leave in the RV without a good stock of her low-carb foods in the RV freezer. These recipes make us feel like gourmet cooks while preparing an exciting menu for party guests without making us depart from our own diets. What fun we have when guests ask for a recipe and find they've enjoyed diet foods! Nancy provides easy recipes for a range of delectables in all categories, including beverages and condiments. She also offers helpful tips about preparation and includes an accurate and reliable carbo count with each recipe, something lacking in other resources. We feel deeply grateful to this creative and knowledgeable woman who has rescued us from diet doldrums. In our late sixties, we maintain our ideal weight, feel fit and energetic, and, thanks to Nancy, we NEVER feel deprived of our favorite foods.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Very Favorite Low Carb Cookbook!, August 23, 2002

By 

kathy crandall (Mpls. , Mn.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did!: Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook (Paperback)

Hi- 2 weeks ago I bought "The New Eat Yourself Thin Cookbook Like I Did" and I love it so much I went back to Amazon to do a review. I can't believe someone actually gave it a bad review. I have a lot of low carb cookbooks and this is by far the "Best"! The recipes are easy to make and are real food my family likes. I have tried the Sweet and Sour Chicken and it's wonderful. I don't use Sugar Twin anymore now that Splenda is available and it measures the same. If you're looking for low carb recipes for average families, I recommend this one very much.
