You’re guaranteed success with every recipe! Each recipe has been tested at least twice, often three or four times, in the Cooking Light Test Kitchens to ensure that not only are they supremely healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare, but that they also have the all-important “yum factor.”

My favorite cookbook yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I have a million cookbooks, and am a food network addict. This is by far the best cookbook. It has pics to go with every recipe as well. There aren't a huge amount of recipes, but what they have is all delicious. I don't think theyre extremely FAST to make though. Some still have a lot of prep work. But that's fine for me.... I make some of these recipes when I have company and it's always a huge hit! I definitely think everyone should own this cookbook!

Above average 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This book has lots of great recipes that are fairly easy to make. Each recipe gives serving ideas as well as what side items can be paired with each dish. The only con for this book is that many of the recipes call for somewhat exotic ingredients (orzo, ground ginger, chipotle chile, fresh rosemary, etc.) that most people wouldn't already have in the house. If you don't mind the extra trip to the grocery store, then this is a great tool.

Caution -- Too Little Fat Causes Gallstones 1 out of 5 stars.
6 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I thought I'd done sufficient research when I went on this diet. In fact, Ornish's theories have been proven wrong. When you don't eat a moderate amount of healthy fats (olive oil, EFA's, etc.), the bile produced by your liver sits in your gall bladder instead of being used to digest fats. It becomes increasingly concentrated, until the cholesterol in the bile forms into...gallstones. This = extremely painful attacks and either surgery or very intense cleansing diets. Ornish's diet does NOT include enough fats; it is too extreme and based on faulty assumptions. Watch out! Unfortunately, I had to have my gall bladder removed because I meticulously followed his diet, only to learn later that this was a common experience for many people. Save yourself the agony of gallstones and research other diets; I have had much better success with Jorge Cruise's diet plan, but I imagine there are other good ones, too.

Losing Weight and Feeling Great 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This book has been a godsend in my life. I had lost 8 pounds by starting walking, got stuck, lost another 8 pounds through Weight Watchers and got stuck again for several months. Finally, I decided to try Dr. McDougall's plan. I had the book for quite some time, but didn't think I could follow his plan. Wow! What a surprise! Not only am I having fun with it, I've lost a total of 22 so far on the McDougall Plan with only 9 left to reach my idea weight and it has been faster than anything I've tried before - about 1.5 - 2 pounds per week. It has been easier than I could have imagined because I am never hungry. For the first time in my life, my body tells me when I am full and I can stop eating. I have always loved starches anyway, and this diet is perfect for me. I've started trying a lot of the recipes and have been thoroughly happy with most of them. I have only one disagreement with Dr. McDougall and that is in the area of plant fats (unprocessed) like avocados. I eat them quite often and am still losing weight and feel great. If I slow down in my weight loss, I may try to cut down, but right now I'm doing too well to change anything.

Editorial Review:

A national bestseller in hardcover, The McDougall Program is Dr. McDougall's most comprehensive and practical health book to date, including recipes, medical advice, histories, and details of the revolutionary 12-day McDougall nutrition program that has helped thousands lose weight.

"Eat Smart, Be Fit, Live Well." 5 out of 5 stars.
31 of 31 people found this review helpful.

Lushly photographed and filled with stunning winter holiday recipes from breakfast and cocktail parties to the Big Events themselves, this cookbook features lighter versions of many old favorites and some great ideas for reducing the fat in your own recipes. Ingredient substitutions, decorating tips, make ahead meals, and even wine and food pairings are included, as the editors make the holidays a joyful time, foodwise, even for those on special diets. Clearly printed nutritional information appears with each recipe so that those on special diets, such as cardiac patients, can choose among the many selections.

Many appetizer recipes feature veggie-based dips and salsas--Tomato Crostini, Tex-Mex Black Bean Dip, and Warm Mushroom Spread all feature less than 1 g. of saturated fat per serving. "Creamy" dips use lower fat cream cheese to keep these appetizers at about 1 g. of fat per serving. One appetizer made with phyllo dough, usually a no-no for those on diets, uses butter-flavored cooking spray between the layers, instead of butter, to save fat and calories. Vietnamese spring rolls and Chicken/Lemon Pot-Stickers, use rice paper and won ton wrappers, lighter than pastry.

"Light" does not mean "dull" here. Pistachio-Crusted Rack of Lamb, Individual Beef Wellingtons (using phyllo sprayed with cooking spray, instead of puff pastry), or Ultimate Roasted Turkey, with gravy, are all on the menu. A wide assortment of side dishes--soufflés, Caramelized Onions, Potato-Gorgonzola Gratin, Pumpkin-Sage Polenta, and even Leek, Potato, and Caraway Latkes with Spiced Sour Cream--perk up the plate and the palate. The Salad section is outstanding, with unusual combinations of ingredients--Pear, Walnut, and Blue Cheese Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette is a knockout. Fruit relishes, chutneys, salsas, and even candied cranberries are used as garnishes.

The editors have gone "all out" in the dessert section. The traditional pecan pie is here--regular pecan filling inside a lowfat, cookie-like crust--along with Vanilla or Pumpkin Cheesecake (made with 2 ½ pounds of reduced fat and non-fat cream cheese), gorgeous cakes made with less fat and fewer egg yolks, and pies with lowfat gingersnap, graham cracker, or vanilla wafer crusts. Over forty recipes are included for use as gifts--Apricot Amaretto Bread, Cranberry-Hazelnut Coffee Cake, Orange-Pistachio Baklava.

With over 500 tasty recipes offering a huge selection of elegant and even exotic recipes, this is a cookbook useful to everyone who is health-conscious, including vegetarians. Twenty pages of meatless main dishes and a vegetarian Hanukkah menu are included. A terrific compilation of healthier preparations for traditional holiday foods, this is a cookbook that has it all--and that will be used long past the holidays. n Mary Whipple

Best book on the Glycemic Index I've read!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My husband has a bad back and can't exercise, so the only way to control his weight gain over the years has to be through his diet. This poses problems with him being a meat and potato man who doesn't like fish, rice, or several vegetables. Several of the other books I've read or purchased seem to be full of fish and chicken recipes (anyone can lose weight if that's all they eat). I needed a way of changing the way we think about food and the way we eat, a lifestyle change that is manageable. The radical diets are limiting and most people gain the weight back once you stop because you can't follow them forever. The glycemic index is a lifestyle change that anyone can stick with. The other books also use alot of items you have to get from a gourmet shop, health food stores, or contain exotic items that are rather pricey and most of us would not eat. The Good Carb Cookbook contains recipes that most of us would eat on a daily basis anyway (who needs to purchase expensive meals through one of those dieting companies when you can make them yourself). 2/3 of her book explains what the glycemic index is, how it works, and what things effect the glycemic index of an item/meal. She talks about different kinds of oils, flours, grains, and explains alot of dietary information in terms that anyone can understand. She also explains better choices to lower the GI of a meal and things to add to lower the GI of a meal (such as addition of acid like lemon juice or vinegar) or items that have a fermenting process such as sour dough or yogurt or buttermilk. How about using thick rolled oats in a meatloaf instead of corn flakes or crackers?

I can't sing more praises or state more facts than anyone else who has read this book and took the time to comment on it. This is a must read item for anyone who is serious about improving their health through proper diet

Editorial Review:

For anyone following a low-carb diet, here are more than 200 delicious recipes featuring foods that are low on the glycemic index.
