I have tried a few recipes so far and they have been excellent. Most of the recipes have ingredients already on hand. The only problem that I have is that the recipes are for families. Only being one causes a few problems, how to cut the measurements down. Other than that it is a great book.

I am loosing on average of 5lbs per month so I wanted to look at a book that would help me continue to reach my goals. I have made several recipes from this book. Peanut Butter milkshake, Strawberry & Banana french toast and Broccoli soup - loved them and did not feel hungry after eating these items. I did substitute egg beaters and Splenda for some of the items and my husband and I both enjoyed. I would highly recommend book.

As a Dietetic Technician, I heartily recommend this book. Introducing fiber into one's diet is a very good step to take.

I have really enjoyed many of the recipes in this book and I've still lost weight on a sensible diet program along with exercise.

Fiber up, weight down and yummy too!

I'm trying to get more fiber into my diet and had no idea of fiber counts in foods. For instance, the wheat bread I was eating is dense, but relatively low in fiber. Some fruits, such as blueberries are quite high in fiber. This book has some good lower calorie recipes and gives a good understanding of fiber and fiber counts in many foods. Thank you Amazon for your really fast delivery and the Free Super Saver delivery. In these tough economic times, some sellers appear to be trying to make a profit off delivery charges and you still offer yours free with a small purchase. I appreciate it. That is why I will continue to purchase Kellogg fiber bars, hair care, beauty products, etc. from Amazon. I could get these products at my local drugstore with no problem, but I don't.

I can't believe any of these positive reviews came from people who bought the Kindle version. this book may be great in paper form, but it is of little use on a Kindle. The index is not active, and doesn't even contain page numbers (not that that would help much) so it is simply a list of recipes you can't find. The table of contents lists no recipes section, just "meal plans". The first part of the book is a lot of no doubt excellent advice and information on fiber. This is followed by day-by-day meal plans, mostly simple suggestions like "raisin bread with peanut butter" or "apple slices". If there are any good recipes, I have not found them and I am tired of looking. I wanted a cookbook, not robotic "meal plans". This was not worth 1 dollar to me, much less 11. Next time I will see if I can get a cheap paperback copy of a cookbook before I spring for the Kindle version.

We have been having a lot of fun exploring the high fiber recipes in this book. There are lots of healthy tips and we think this will be a long lasting way to change our diets for the better.

I heard about fiber helping you and wanted to know more. This book is very clear about getting it in your food.

LOVE this book so far. I initially bought it because my girlfriend made the meatloaf, & it was better than my mom's fatty meatloaf (which is hard to beat).

I'm just getting started, but I earmarked 45 recipes as my favorites to start cooking. Yesterday, made 3 different soups, each one was REally easy (you basically use a blender & a pan), and tasted so fresh & light, yet satisfying and comforting all at the same time.

LIke most women, I've bought a million & one health cookbooks, and get frustrated with the crazy ingredients & combinations. This has a lot of comfort foods, sometimes with a little twist. yum yum yum - can't wait to cook the other 40-something recipes.

Going to buy the book for my mom & 2 friends now :)

I was pleasantly surprised by this cookbook. The recipes are solid and I will be using it frequently.

This is not just a diet cookbook. The recipes call for items that are on hand. Each dish I have made has received raves from all.
