1,001 Low-Carb Recipes for Life Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is useless for the true low carber. The recipes are way to high for anyone with true carb intolerance. The introduction suggests an intake of 120 carbs PER DAY!!!! If I wanted that, I could eat at McDOnalds. For the healthy adult who just needs to cut back a little, this may be OK. For those of us who have real restrictions (mine is 40 carb/day) this book is next to useless. I read the whole book, and I think I found maybe 12-15 recipes that I can use. If I had paid full price for this item I would have been very disappointed. After reading the introduction, I think the author is completely clueless as to the reality of carb intolerance and related issues. This book is an attempt to make a buck.
