Without going into too many details, let me just say that THIS COOKBOOK is the only reason my wife and I are still on the Atkins diet. We bought four cookbooks (all highly recommended), only to find that, while providing tasty recipes, three of the cookbooks asked for all manner of "fancy" ingredients. Stuff not normally found in our "average" kitchen. Expensive stuff. And many of the recipes weren't quite as low-carb as we had hoped (20g for one serving?).

Lauri's cookbook took care of those problems. I think the only "fancy" ingredients we had problems with were Kitchen Bouquet (it was in the gravy section at the store) and shallots (never had one before). The rest is just plain, everyday ingredients. And low-carb? All of her recipes list the nutritional information right there. It's nice to eat a large, tasty dinner with only 2.3g per serving! Most of the recipes are below 10g, and many are below 5g. Serving size is very generous.

I consider this book to be the best diet/way-of-eating investment I've made so far. This cookbook is just too good to pass up.

This is my favorite low carb cookbook! I started the Atkins diet in August and lost 20 lbs in 5 weeks! But then I stopped losing because I started cheating - the diet was just way too boring for me. I'm not a very imaginitive cook and found myself eating the same few things over and over again. Then I went out and bought every low carb cookbook that I could find. Lauri's Low-Carb Coookbook is my favorite by far! I use it the most because for the most part the recipes are easy and tasty. I've even come up with some of my own variations based on Lauri's recipes. I am now losing weight again. I have a lot of variation in my diet thanks to Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook and I know that variation is the key to success.

I have 5 low carb cookbooks and this one I simply love and certainly use the most. If you have been low carbing for a while, then you know that the key to sticking with the diet in keeping variety in your meals. I'm an OK cook, but I totally lack imagination. I need recipes in order to not bore myself with the same few things. Lauri provides the imagination which I lack. I am so impressed with the variety, simplicity and abundance of flavor in every recipe I have tried! Lauri has provided a"~ wonderful collection of recipes from around the world: Italian, Mexican, French, Asian, American and stuff from who knows where! It's easy to stay on the diet with so many delicious choices. I know that this cookbook is fairly new but I hope that she writes another one soon."~ loved it too, so it will grace our table again in the not too distant future.

I have found the recipes in Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook to be easy to prepare and very tasty! Plus, I love the fact that she includes desserts (the chocolate mousse is AWESOME) and that all the carb grams are already counted for you. My husband and I have enjoyed every meal I've prepared since buying this book, and look forward to being able to stay on our low-carb diet until we've lost all the weight we want to lose. This cookbook makes it possible to prepare a wide variety of excellent meals.

This excellent cookbook provided me with the means to suceeded on the Dr. Atkins' diet. I have lost 56 lbs and reached my ideal weight of 135 (my husband lost 65 lbs and he didn't even exercise)!! With the great food choices found in Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook we ate like royalty and we were never hungry! We have SO MANY favorite recipes including the Eggs Florentine, Cauliflower Cashew Loaf, Crab Chowder and the Thai Chicken Ginger Soup, just to name a few. If you are looking for great recipes to support your low-carb diet, I highly recommend Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook.

I bought the first edition of this cookbook and liked it a lot, so I ordered this revised edition and could not be more pleased! Lauri has a terrific imagination and a flair for creative cooking - an absolute necessity for low-carbing. Easy to follow instructions, "normal" ingredients and reasonable carb allowances. Don't miss out on this one!

I liked the first edition so much, I had to get the second edition just for the 50 new recipes. The "hash browns" are unbelieveably wonderful; I now look forward to breakfast! I used the "Cowboy Sauce" the other day as a marinade for London Broil. Then I added horseradish to the left-over sauce for dipping the meat, and served this with Lauri's remarkable Ceasar Salad. WOW!! The praise from the family on this one dinner alone was worth buying the new edition. Thank you Lauri for another great cookbook, (I really love the new format, too!)

I'm so glad I found this cookbook! Anyone on the Adkin's Diet can attest to the need for variety! My husband and I are firm believers of Dr Adkin's, we've lost quite a few pounds in just a few months, but the recipes he includes, could be simplified for the average person. This book has been a wonderful help. The desserts are especially welcomed, and Lauri's opening comments are refreshing. It's good to hear from someone dieting in the "real" world! Thanks so much!

When I started the Low-Carb diet I thought I would live on scrambled eggs and sausage and plain steak forever! I ordered this cookbook and found a whole world of yummy, great foods. These recipes are easy and quick. My favorite section is the desserts! If you are on the low-carb diet definitely buy this cookbook! Excellent!

I just started Dr. Adkin's diet and I can already tell that variety is the key to staying on track. I have tried several of the recipes already and have liked every one of them. The directions are easy to follow and Lauri has a good selction of different recipes. The Custard Breakfast Squares are a wonderful alternative to fried/hard-boiled eggs. The Cheescake recipe is really good and EASY as well. I bought Dr. Adkin's Quick and Easy New Diet Revolution Cookbook at the same time I bought this book and I like this book better. The ingredients are not as "fancy" and, therefore, more affordable and easier to find in the local market. This book is really a winner!
