My Husband has Pancreatitus...

My husband has just been diagnosed with this horrible disease, and on looking at a website dedicated to it, I found the following, which has convinced me that I really should get this book. Have given it 5 stars as I feel the writer would have: "I endured several attacks last year on my pancreas and lost about 40 pounds in a two month period. While being thin is very nice, I had no energy and never felt up to much. My mother gave me a cook book called "Gone with the Fat" - as in Gone with the Wind... and it has been fabulous. There are so many recipes in that book that are great and everything is low in fat, but not low in flavor. It gives you a huge amount of information that is very helpful in maintaining a low fat, high protein, carb diet." Hope this cookbook is as good as this girl thinks it is. The contributors to this website sounded pretty desperate - the impression I got was that none of them was given any advice as to what they should eat.

EXCELLENT - EASY TO PREPARE MEALS

We have used several recipes in this book and find them extremely good and easy to make. Ingredients are very basic. My husband has a history of high triglyceride for which he is currently taking medication for. As a former cancer patient - have lowered the above as well as cholesterol levels. His physician is quite impressed. This is the only recipe book we use. We would highly recommend this book for anyone watching fat intake. I guarantee that you will be quite surprised in how satisfying the food is and you won't have that "hungry" feeling which leads to the dreaded snacks!

Extremely useful!

I loved the book because it uses recipes with all basic foods. There are no special ingredients to find and purchase. This book is a great way to introduce healthy, low-fat cooking into the average home.
