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.

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.

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.

Going on any type of diet, can and is boring. But, I really want to "Thank" Nancy for the terrifc job she has done with her cookbook. It gives me choices of great tasting things like, cheesecake, pizza and more. I have too loose about 50lbs. and at my age of 53, that can be quite an undertaking. The weight just dosen't come off like it use too. But, with Nancy's quidence, I have been on a diet now for almost three months and I don't feel like I have deprived myself of anything! I have lost 15lbs. and 5 inches. The receipes are fast and easy. And not to mention very, very good for you. Another reason to buy her book, I think is, that Nancy is a success story herself. She's an R.N.and knows firsthand what is and isen't good for you. And because she herself has lost a lot of weight using this cookbook, you can see for yourself what her cookbook can and will do for you. I think that she is a testiment for her cookbook more than anything else.

This is a terrific cookbook. It's easy to use, the recipes are quick to prepare, and the final product has turned out great every time. Getting my husband to eat vegetables is a challenge, no matter what diet I've attempted over the years. But, so far, the vegetable recipes in this book have been tantalizing enough even for his picky palate. I'm hopeful that with books like this, we'll finally be able to stay with a low-carb program and reap the benefits. Thanks, Nancy!

I have been having so much fun cooking with this low carb cookbook and enjoying the terrific recipes. I can honestly say that it has surpassed my expectations of a great low carb cookbook and I wanted others to know about it too. The recipes are quick and easy to put together and everyone of them I've tried thus far have been delicious. I have several friends that are on the low carb diet and they have all thanked me for recommending this cookbook to them. This one is definitely a keeper! My thanks to the author Nancy Moshier on the "Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did" cookbook. LaVerne Bell from Backus, Minnesota.

Nancy is a genius! This is the most outstanding low-carb-cookbook available! The recipes are easy, delicious, and you will ask yourself "THIS is diet food?". Everything for these recipes are at my local discount grocery store, so I don't have to hunt around and spend a fortune at upscale stores. Nancy has sauces, desserts, breads, soups, appetizers.....anything you could imagine and many can be made in advance to save time during the busy work week. Nancy truly has a gift for making all of my favorite foods into low-carb recipes. I have tried so many of the other low-carb recipes from other cookbooks and NOTHING COMPARES to Nancy's recipes. We have even served these meals to our friends and family who aren't on Low-Carb diets, and they think they are dining at a gourmet restaurant! If there was a 10 star selection, this book would get it. I can't wait for the next one, Nancy! You will love this book!

All of the recipes make servings of 12 or more, this is great if a family is on this plan but, i'm just one person and the recipes cannot be broken down for my use. Would love a book of recipes for one or two.

What a wonderful cookbook I've found in Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did. The recipes I have tried have been easy to prepare and most importantly very, very delicious. I had heard great things about this low carb cookbook but I had no idea what a wonderful treat this book would be. It's by far the best one I own to date.I not only love how it stays open when I run my finger down the middle but that the recipes really are quick and easy just like the title says. Great job to the author on this one!

I really like this cookbook. Most of the recipes are simple and delicious. I haven't tried them all because I don't have as much time as some them would take me to cook. It has really opened my mind about a lot of foods that I never thought I'd eat. I know others have complained about using pork rinds or Sugar Twin, but you can't even taste the pork rinds (they're used in place of crackers in meatloaf and salmon patties), and you can substitute Splenda for the Sugar Twin. I'm really pleased with the results of everything I've cooked using these recipes and recommend it to others.
