First off I want to say i received this as a highly discounted price for a review group

That being said I would have glady played the 13.95 amazon price for this gem. I am trying to eat better and well i am not low carb i like the option of making noodles out of veggies and when using it with zuccini i found it fun and easy.

To start off, I think of myself as a pretty healthy eater. I eat whole grains, veggies, etc. My only downfall is that I am a baker so I have to taste alot of things throughout the day, but no massive amounts of everything. I bought this book with about 10 pounds to loose. I had difficulty following the first cycle because whole grain cereals and breads are a main part of my diet, and I found myself with an upset stomach/constipation with not eating any grains. So I "re started", adding a little bit of carbs back into my diet, but not as much as before. Also, I found myself eating way less than usual which is scary. I already eat about 1250 calories a day, and eating less than that worries me. So far I have lost 2 pounds, but it seems to be fluctuating (which is annoying). I will continue through the other cycles and see what results I get. I would not recommend this book for someone who already eats pretty healthy and/or only has a few pounds to loose.

Trying to eat healthier to get healthier.
Just reading this book made me feel healthier.
That said, while the recipes are easy to follow, some of them are quite involved.

I am following the diet but losing much more slowly but find it easy to follow. I like it because it can be an easy way of life to eat.

I struggle with weight loss. I'm going to try this! So far I haven't been hungry, but I've only lost 2 lbs.

Maybe I didn't read enough of the reviews but I missed that this book, while good, is not intended for people who need to lose more than "the last stubborn 20 pounds" and it assumes you are in "moderately good shape", of which I am neither.  I will put this book away and return to it when I reach those last few pounds. The good thing is the book was not expensive and some of the recipes are pretty good.

Ok so I bought this and choose to loose. This was not my style, no choices just a set meal plan. While that maybe good for some I want to learn to eat what I should and make the right choices.

It wasn't that this book didn't have good recipes, they sounded pretty good.  And if I needed to replace my current cravings and sweet tooth permanantly then this book would be good for you.

But after reading the basics of Ketogenics, I realized that I didn't really need a recipe book to replace what I was currently eating.  I was more trying to change my eating habits.  I'm always active, but love eating.  I know my diet could be less junky and more healthy, with the occasional treat.

I was not aware of Hashimoto's disease, but at the beginning of this year I decided to eat a bit more like this action plan and cookbook offers.  Last year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which has a lot of the same symptoms as Hashimoto's disease.  I read that changing your diet, cutting out gluten, was helpful to others who suffer from fibro.  I can't say that I have done the best job of keeping gluten out entirely, but reading this book makes we want to reboot my efforts.  I really like that there is a meal plan already in place.  I don't mind cooking dinner, but the last minute scramble to pick what to cook annoys me.  Though I have not cooked a recipe out of this book yet, I definitely think I will be putting this meal plan to work.  My pain is getting worse, and I need to make a change.  I've already started eating healthier, so the next step is to cut out the inflammatory foods that cause my body to be unhappy.  Wish me luck!

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

Since my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes I have been trying to find cookbooks that are carb friendly.  This is one of the few that actually has carb friendly recipes and they actually taste like "food" -- not hospital-bland.  While not all recipes are rated as carb friendly, it does list the total carb count so I am able to adjust the menu to include a recipe from this book.  I have only started cooking with this book, but out of the half dozen or so recipes that I have tried I have been mostly pleased with the outcome.

Not great, but not bad.  Having been gluten free and grain free for the last year or so, I also fell into low carb, because that is where the really great recipes are.  I have never been a person who liked sugary or sweet foods that much, so it wasn't a difficult transition.  I used to buy a jar of Nutella maybe once a year, but always ended up throwing it out.  No one in my house liked it or disliked it.  They were neutral in regards to it.  My fondness usually lasted long enough for me to dip a spoon into it, swallow a teaspoon of the chocolatey glop, and decide that I really needed to do something with it, because it was good stuff.  That is as far as I ever got.  It was just too sweet to eat on a regular basis, so it would go into my cupboard and be forgotten until it dried up,or hit the expiration date.  I always wanted to try the low carb brands after I got off the sugar bus, but I never pursued it.  I had heard bad things about a few brands, including this one.  My daughter got me a couple of jars for my birthday, and it migrated to the pantry for three weeks.  I got it out this morning and put some on toast for my husband.  Admittedly he will eat anything, but he thought it was good.  I took a taste of it from the spoon, and was undecided initially.  The texture is thicker than I remember Nutella being, and it certainly isn't as sweet, but I didn't mind that.  After another small taste, I decided it was actually pretty good.  I actually like it.  Will I eat it every day?  No.  I probably won't eat it once a week, but I will finish the jars with the help,of my husband, and then I will buy another jar.  I am going to refrigerate it as one commenter suggested to make it more fudge like, although I have a cold pantry, so I did get somewhat of a fudge like effect.  I did find it more spreadable after I briefly microwaved it.  If you want to avoid sugar and still eat something like Nutella, this is as close as you will probably get.  It is a bit pricey, but almost any specialty food is going to be pricey, especially gluten free, grain free, and/or sugar free.  I tend to approach alternative food items with an open mind.  I never expect it to taste exactly like what it is replacing, because it can't, and another good rule of thumb is not to expect the texture and mouth feel to be the same either.  In that way, I am rarely disappointed.  In some cases, such as this one I have been pleasantly surprised.  I noticed that Amazon also sells a similar spread made with almonds for about the same price.  That one got a lot of high ratings, and I will try that one eventually, but for now, I like this enough to buy it again after my stash is gone.  It has a pleasant taste and a pleasant after taste and it doesn't have the potential to be addictive, so I would give it four stars, nudging towards four and a quarter.  I'd call that a win.

One does feel better eating vegetarian meals sometimes.  I appreciate his approach as NB and associates have a better grasp on eating right.

I didn't realize it was all about desserts, otherwise it's fine.  Just trying to lose weight.  Also, do not like to use sweeteners, with the exception of natural ones, so those would make them non ketogenic.
