The meals presented here are geared to long-term weight loss without compromising nutrition or flavor. The recipes are not only low in carbohydrates but also low in saturated fat, featuring lean proteins. More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes is based on a formula that shows readers how to reintroduce carbs into the diet, without regaining their lost weight, through three phases. Each phase includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a total of 63 meals and 105 recipes emphasizing fresh vegetables, monounsaturated olive and canola oils, and lean meats and fish. Also included are Super Speed Suppers (15-minute dinners), Weekend Meals, Entertaining, color photographs, and a wealth of practical tips. And thanks to the author’s advanced degree from the Cordon Bleu Institute, these recipes are both healthy and delicious.

This is NOT a Low Carb Cookbook,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes: A Three-Stage Plan to Keeping It Off (Paperback)
This is a low fat/some good fat cookbook masquerading as a Low Carb cookbook. One dinner recipe Peasant Soup with Cheese Toast has more than 45 grams of carb per serving. Another dinner of Creole Chicken, Brown Rice and Watermelon tops out at more than 60 gr carbs for one serving. I honestly have not looked at each and every recipe, but just glancing through this books says it is not what it is titled.

Maybe zone-friendly, or "right carb" but Low Carb? No.,
By A Customer
This review is from: More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes: A Three-Stage Plan to Keeping It Off (Paperback)
I must reluctantly agree that this book simply fails to live up to the title. Reluctantly, because Ms. Gassenheimer has again come up with a bunch of delectible recipes, from Pork Scallopini to a tantalizing game hen in red wine, and I'd love to add them to my collection. Unfortunately, as a carb minimalist, I really don't need the temptation of more potatoes, pasta, orzo, white rice...you get the idea. It makes about as much sense as "The Low-Fat Bacon and Pork Rind Cookbook"!This isn't a matter of zealotry. There's a movement out there, separate from low-carb, to moderate carbs, zap simple sugars, and also moderate the restriction of fats. I've heard it referred to as "right-carb dieting", or the 40-30-30 plan. I applaud people who are succeeding on such a plan, which may for all I know be the best choice, for many. I'm sure people in that camp would do wonderfully with this book. I hope, however, that low-cal writers, faced with the new popularity of low carb, aren't trying to ride the coattails of a trend by calling something what it is certainly not.

Fantastic cookbook for South Beach Diet, Zone, others!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes: A Three-Stage Plan to Keeping It Off (Paperback)
I love this cookbook! It fits my way of eating perfectly! If you are looking for a book with 3g of carbs per recipe or something than this isn't the one for you. However!!! there are so many other diets that can utilize this cookbook: South Beach, Zone, Atkins maintance, low-sugar diets, low-glycemic diets, and just general good health eating. Try it, you will like it! :)
