 Love the Low Carb recipes, but I'll pass on the Low Fat advice... November 28, 2008
Overall pretty great like his first cookbook but in this one unfortunately he seems to have fallen for the myth that fat is bad for you and there is a lot of low fat advice given that I wasn't expecting in a low carb cookbook. At least it doesn't usually affect the recipes and shows up as comments at the end suggesting ways to make the recipe "healthier". Hopefully George and his family will have read Gary Taubes book Good Calories, Bad Calories by the time they come up with their next cookbook. I just wanted to point out to people following a lowcarb diet that trying to simultaneously do low fat is unnecessarily complicated and counterproductive to weight loss.
Help in getting off sugar October 21, 2008
This is a wonderful book with wonderful receipes, I thought I would never find anything that tasted good again when I quite sugar. Buy yes life does go on and food does taste good with out sugar. Praise God, wonderful book.
 Great Recipes--Poor Book Construction July 9, 2008

I love the recipes in this book--everything is incredibly delicious. I really like the muffin recipes--the banana nuffins and spice muffins are the best--and the key lime cheesecake recipe is fantastic as well. My favorite main dish recipe is the Meatloaf Rollatini, which I stuff with different ingredients every time. I love that the net carbs are listed for each serving and that the same ingredients are used for many of the recipes, so I can buy those in bulk to have them on hand. This book has made it very easy to eat low carb because the food is never boring.
I'm giving this rating a 3 because I was very dissappointed in the book construction--the pages separated from the spine the first time I gently laid the book open to have it lay flat on my counter. At this point the pages are being held in the book by a clip until I glue it back in myself.

I ordered both of the George Stella cookbooks and am pleased with the selection of recipes and narrative of his story with the low carb lifestyle. I would recommend the purchase.

I am not a cook. I don't know how to throw a meal together for a family, since I am single. But this is a great book for people who are tired of eating the same old thing with the Atkins diet. The recipes are easy and with practice can add flair to your cooking. I particularly like the sections that teach you how to make sauces and spice mixtures
