About the Author

From childhood Nancy knew she had a gift that made her different from other people. Her intuitive ability to help and heal people has always come natural to her. After 20 successful years in Corporate America, she felt that something was missing in her life. To find what was missing, she began to explore the various healing modalities that would work alongside her natural gift to heal. This path has led her to an intense and comprehensive study of the healing arts and sciences. Nancy began to blend her gifts with her newfound knowledge, achieving her goal to assist others to attain health, wellness and a new sense of empowerment over their lives. Nancy has a love of books, meeting new people and learning about them. She enjoys golf, tennis, scuba diving, and sharing her life with the love of her life, John. Having no tolerance for the cold, she has found her paradise in South Florida. Nancy is a gourmet cook and having friends in for dinner parties is a passion for her. She takes time every day to appreciate all the good things in her life and having the ability to recognize them!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not a South Beach Diet cookbook, March 13, 2006

This review is from: South Beach Recipes, Not Low Fat, Not No Carb: Recipes for a Food Plan You Can Live With--Forever (Paperback)

Because of the presentation of this book on the Amazon site, and the "fat" and "carb" reference on the cover, people will assume this book is associated with The South Beach Diet. It clearly is not. With references to "phases" and such in this book, I think that Nancy McCune is trying to rip off the public and lead people to believe this book is affiliated with Dr. Agatston and The South Beach Diet. It is not.

With ingredients listed such as full-fat cream, some of the recipes in this book will not be fitting for those following The South Beach Diet.

I recommend that people stick with THE South Beach Diet cookbooks by Dr. Arthur Agatston, and avoid this cheap imitation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I was expecting, January 27, 2007

This review is from: South Beach Recipes, Not Low Fat, Not No Carb: Recipes for a Food Plan You Can Live With--Forever (Paperback)

I agree with Maggie, this book has no association with the South Beach Diet. "South Beach" simply means the author lives in Miami, likes to cook and wrote a cookbook. I find this book frustrating also because it includes absolutely no nutritional information for any of the recipes. I understand that many cookbooks omit this information, my Fanny Farmer Cookbook from 1979 has none of this either, but those claiming to be "low fat" or "low carb" or both generally will tell you how much fat/carb and or both are being consumed. And how many mouths are we feeding...? some recipes do not even state the number of servings it makes. Some of the recipes do sound good, but without knowing if I should be eating the entire meatloaf myself or if I am sharing with 12 of my closest friends, I'm not going to bother to make it.
