For those who are carb intolerant, and whose lives may depend on being on low-carb diets, this is NOT a low-carb cookbook. Carb intolerant? Note the pasta in the cover photo.I donated this book to Goodwill, found others that are better (PROTEIN POWER LIFEPLAN, Dana Carpender's books, Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, Gary Taubes GOOD CALORIES, BAD CLORIES, among others) and have lost nearly 50 pounds since late Oct. 2010.
