 Wonderful for dieting, staying healthy, and boosting the ego Aug 19, 2008
This diet/cookbook is terrific. I've lost 10 pounds without cravings! That may not sound like a lot, but believe me, it is. The health/nutrition updates in the first 50 pages have helped me realize what I'd been doing wrong. Can't think of any other diet book that gave such great advice, and in such a warm, helpful way. This book's a real ego booster when I'm feeling down or stressed about my weight.
And, since I love chocolate, the book's recommended unsweetened cocoa recipes (no-sugar no-fat fudge sauce!) have helped me fight off hunger. Cocoa is also the highest in antioxidants, something else I hadn't known, so I consider it and the recent studies revealed in this book as a lifesaver. The recipes are also amazingly inventive, using new, better-for-you food products.
I've done about a zillion diets, but I've only gained weight and nearly went nuts from the cravings. No more of that with The Cardiologist's Wife's book. I can't recommend it enough.

cook book Aug 16, 2008
Was disappointed that there were not many chocolate desert recipees. I have a hard time dieting because of my chocolate addition and thought I had found the cookbook for me. It's a good cookbook just not enough (hardly any) chocolate.

This is funny *&* full of the best, newest health advice Mar 22, 2008
My doctor recommened this, and said a lot of doctors are recommending it. This book is fantastic, and a shock. Who knew that "fat free evaporated milk" has as much sugar as a candy bar!? I still see "diet" recipes that say "substitute sugar with honey, chopped dates, ripened bananas" -- "ripened" just means the starch breaking down into sugar, and "natural sugar" is still sugar! The authors also help us to understand what's bogus, or just plain wrong even among well-intentioned "diet" recipes. When I got through the book's first chapter I thought WOW that's why no diet has worked for me, or was so hard, or I lost the weight & then gained it back. I'm also thrilled at the thought of fudge sauce on sliced fruit & walnuts every night. I feel so good!
THIS is a diet!? But it works, it's funny and has the most up to date health/nutrition information. Also, since it's both low carb AND low fat, it will be easy to make into a life program.

Best diet book ever. Mar 20, 2008
If you really want to lose weight and improve your health, this is the best diet for the new century. No wonder none of the old diets worked! I can't believe how much I've lost in the month since I started. Ten pounds without cravings! That's because of the cocoa, which helps you go longer without feeling hungry. It's also because of this diet's "makeover" approach to all recipes for all meals. It uses much healthier sugar-free, fat-free, new food products in many of its delicious recipes to create bigger, more filling portions that are still low cal.
It's also the first low carb and low fat diet I've ever heard of. Also valuable is the new health and nutrition information in Parts One & Three of the book. In the past, I've failed at so many diets, not realizing that their claims to "no sugar" & low fat were bogus. This book has a whole section on "hidden sugars in your diet recipes," and I was shocked. That's why I wasn't losing weight!
If you really seriously want to get thin, stay thin, and improve your health, this book is the best.
