This book basically has it all to help with a carb lover's diet. It explains how it is the right carbs, which will make you happy, fill you up and in turn will help you with your weight. The idea of resistant carbs is explained and there is a chart with the foods and portions. Carbs 101 gives you an indication of what you can eat, equipment for your kitchen is listed- really what most kitchens already have if you cook a lot. What your pantry, refrigerator, freezer should have in them are provided. There are recipe icons used in the book such as; kid-friendly, make ahead, low-sodium, super-fast and vegetarian. Nutritional information for each serving is included with every recipe...calories,fats, etc.
The recipes themselves consist of: breakfast, soups and sandwiches, pasta and pizza, seafood, meat and poultry, appetizers and cocktails, desserts and recipes from star chefs. Party and holiday menus, the diet plan, the 7 day kick start and the 21 day immersion plan as well as a list of what you can `grab and go' are all included.
Almost all the recipes have big colour pictures. Prep, cooking and total times are given. Tips are included throughout, such as directions how to make ahead. A metric equivalents chart, recipe and subject indexes are also presented.
This is a book for you as an individual, your family and even company. The recipes seem very appealing. Our family has especially enjoyed the pasta with peas, ham and parmesan cheese and the penne with sausage and spinach.

Part 1 of this book offers an introduction with how to make this type of cooking work in your kitchen. Part 2 covers the recipes. Below are the sections, how many recipes are included, and an example or two.
Breakfast: 18 (CarbLover Muffin Collection - one base with 4 types to make, Berry Kale Smoothie)
Soups & Sandwiches: 25 (Chicken Tortilla Soup, Roasted Corn and Black Bean Burritos).
Pasta & Pizza: 18 (Triple cheese Mac, Mini Mediterranean Pizzas)
Seafood, Meat & Poultry: 19 (Seared Scallops with Asian Slaw, Dressed Up Burger)
Sides & Salads: 19 (Salmon Waldorf Salad, Crispy Onion Rings)
Appetizers & Cocktails: 16 (Roasted Red Pepper and Zucchini Dip)
Desserts: 19 (Pecan Blondies, Coconut Cake with 7-Minute Frosting)
Star Chefs Cook Carbs!: 13 famous chefs prepare some of their favorite recipes
CarbLovers Party & Holiday Menu: 10 different party or holiday menus
Part 3 covers the Diet Plan with the book then rounded out with metric equivalents, recipe index, and a subject index. There are plenty of well thought out pictures throughout, but not all of the recipes have a picture (most do however). I like that there is a good amount of white space with one recipe per page. The pages are thick and the book stays open okay (not great, but that may get better with use). Each recipe has a nice sentence or two introduction so you can get a feel for the 'flavor' of the recipe and there are tips on the bottom of many of the pages. The serving size is included and nutritional information.
This just doesn't feel like a diet book to me. It's just a common sense approach to yummy food combined with a slightly gourmet flavor. All in all, a very handy cookbook.
