This book begins with the statement, "This is a book that has some extremely easy and quick recipes that I would even classify simply as "ideas." That statement and the relaxed humor put me totally at ease. Donna made things sound like they weren't a big deal if you didn't do it exactly like the recipe said because it would still be just as good! There are some recipes that are a little more involved than others, but not difficult at all! Those you are cooking for might think you had to work hard, but I found that you don't have to be chef or plan to cook only on special occasions. These ideas are pratical for everday! It's also nice that Donna has given her e-mail for any questions. The fact that a registered dietition did all the carb counts is great too. Can't wait to get the third book!
Easy & good!

This book is so great. It offered many different ideas to begin my low carb diet. I'm not a creative person in the kitchen, so it's hard for me to come up with creative eating choices. This book gave me easy & quick ideas to ideas that had a little more to them, but still easy enough to make. Everything I've tried so far has been great. I LOVE the low-carb chocolate mousse with strawberries. It's enough to get you over your sweet craving.

My Internist, personally suggested I switch to a low-carb diet. It worked for her(she lost weight!), as a professional, but she still didn't believe it until some of her friends tried a low-carb diet. The results were amazing. More energy was what what she noticed first. She didn't feel hungry.Donna took all the guess work out of it! That is why this book is so neat! Donna gives you idea's and recipes! This is a fantastic book!
