Many of the suggested recipes include soda (sugar) and canned soup (sodium) which are not good for one's health.  Too bad people will be conned into eating such bad food that will hurt them.  Shame on the author.

This pharmacist-author goes on and on about the dangers of toxicity and then advises to eat beef, chicken and pork for breakfast.  She considers this a part of a liver detox protocol.  She worries that if you eat in a restaurant you might be subject to gluten cross contamination so she advises that you order bacon, chicken, eggs and cheese. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. In addition to the advice being scientifically unsound, the writing is very redundant restating the same sentiment over and over again.

This does not have any nutritional information for the recipes, which for a low-carb book is a glaring oversight.  There are tiny images on the recipes, but  I recognize many of the images and strongly suspect copyright infringement.  Also, this book isn't low carb  in the slightest.

Ingredients used heavily, which are not low-carb:

Frozen Bread Dough
Thick Cut Italian Bread
Sugar
Oyster Sauce
Hoisin Sauce
Breadcrumbs
Honey
Honey Mustard
Potatoes
Brown Sugar
Canned Corn
Kidney Beans
Refried Beans
All-Purpose Flour
Bananas
Corn Starch
Firm White Bread, Cubed
Spaghetti
Panko

It also uses questionable fats. Finally, it has a strong leaning towards lower fat products, which use carbs as a replacement for the satiating fat.

This is a book that sets out to make diabetics sick by presenting something within a niche in which it does not belong. Just a terrible book  the worst of its kind.

I would love to hear from the author as to why he or she considers this low-carb  on ANY level.

I was disappointed when I looked at these recipes.  They clearly are not written for the average American cook / dieter  - ingredients like pecorino cheese , dashi soup stock, pomegranate molasses, harissa paste (what the heck is that?) - even quail eggs.  These are not ingredients that I will find in my small rural town.  Too many exotic ingredients, or things like herring, squid, sardines, mackerel, wild mushrooms.  Also, I find it difficult to interpret recipes that do not use our commonly used measurements - I don't want to try to figure out 7 ounces/200 grams sun-dried tomatoes... tell me this in cups and tablespoons, please.  I don't have a food scale although I guess I'll have to buy one.  The author emphasizes that the recipes are "carefully crafted" and designed so that dieting doesn't have to be boring - that the fast diet is a diet for "foodies".  This is definitely reflected in exotic and gourmet recipes that will not appeal to the simple, down-home, comfort-food tastes of my husband.  I am not excited about this cookbook and doubt I will use it.  Back to my own simple salads, soups, and sugar free jello....

The recipes are not tasty and they are full of cheese, sour cream....loaded with dairy and not  healthy at all. I will not use this cookbook, it is a big disapointment and I regret wasting money on it.

If you're remotely educated about canine health and nutrition you would know that the majority of the staple ingredients used in this book are not remotely healthy for your dog. Twenty percent of dogs in the US already have or will develop some kind of food allergy in their lifetime and the biggest culprits just happen to be CORN and WHEAT. Even if your dog is part of the 80% without food allergies, these ingredients are filler carbs used way too often in this book. The protein content in these recipes should be much higher. Of course your dog will like this food, try giving your dog any food that is packed with carbs, dogs are like humans, carbs taste good but will also make them fat.

If your idea of healthy food is cans of cream soup, packages of dried soup mix, bottles of salad dressing, canned biscuits, mayonnaise and Velveeta cheese, this is the book for you.  If those things make you cringe at some level, avoid this book.

Author suggests ALL of the WRONG foods. THIS advice here will kill a person with kidneyCKD!!! Author has NO CREDENTIALS and is a death sentence for its readers who have this condition.

Somewhat disappointing.  Daughter is proud to have it.  But we cannot find the recipe that fits the cover photograph.  And I am very disappointed in the ingredients... The author repeatedly promotes healthy eating but the recipes are not healthy - even for children who need more fat than adults.  And most of the fats are not healthy fats...  1/2 cup of oil, butter, lots of cheese in most recipes.  I do not remember seeing olive oil, nuts, avocados, etc.  Do not buy this expecting healthy recipes.  But most are simple and can be done with children.  There is a recipe for kale chips.

A huge number of the recipes are disgusting, and it appears the author doesn't know you're supposed to edit your writing. Because of errors, it's difficult to trust ingredients, measurements, and instructions even if the recipe is somewhat decent.

These were terrible and horrible --- I ended up giving them to a vegan friend of mine who is a health nut and she liked them.  If you are used to eating food others would consider inedible then these are for you --- if taste is important DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT.

This is Not a good book for us. The majority of the recipes call for meat, cheese, and other dairy

My family have a lot of food allergies and many ingredients  in the recipes are not acceptable due to allergies.

I do not recommend this book.  It looks only at calorie and fat content not the nutritional value of food.  So if you are just trying to loose weight and don't care about your health get this book.  Any book that recommends a faster food ham burger over fresh baked bread (whole wheat bread) with turkey, and cheese from a deli is just crazy.  You always want to eat food that is not full of chemicals and preservatives even if it has more calories but guess what its real food.

It's all about fat shaming and preaching, but preaching in a way that undermines actual science of diet and nutrition and dumbs it all down to a level that makes an educated person cringe. I got to the part where the guy was preaching about some foods being "closer to the sun" because they grow on trees and talking as if home-made foods made from natural ingredients have no nutritional value (he references meat pies and spaghetti Bolognese specifically). This is just a bad way to approach dietary health. I feel so sorry for the boy who's having to go through this. He will have ongoing psychological problems resulting form this for use.

I sorry that I didn't read the reviews on this book. First, this not a DASH diet book!!! Secondly, her 14 day plan is nothing more than a fad diet that I heard of years ago. Hard boiled eggs, Canadian Bacon and sugar free Jello are not healthy alternatives for Weight Loss, are you kidding me!  I work in Health Care. This book and Plan is a joke, if not dangerous. for anyone with Hypertension, Diabetes, or Kidney Issues. I have returned it for a refund. I found a lot of FREE information on-line.

I normally don't write negative reviews, I simply move on; however, the recipes in this book were so terrible that I simply must say something about it. If the recipes aren't dreadfully bland (which most are), they are positively horrible for you. As another reviewer noted, many recipes require flavored, soy-based faux foods. Many of the recipes just insult your intelligence; an example of this would be the recipe for a vegan taco, wherein the author tells you to buy a tin of vegan chili, heat it up then pour the contents into a vegan taco shell. Really? As though I needed a recipe book to tell me that.
