Editorial Review:

Heart disease is America's number-one killer. The correlation between high cholesterol levels and heart disease is proven., but the number of people struggling with high cholesterol grows annually, and new national guidelines for healthy cholesterol levels recently became more stringent. Eating for Lower Cholesterol offers cutting-edge information on cholesterol to help people lower their cholesterol levels and reduce their risk of heart disease. Doctors advise millions of people with high cholesterol, on medications or not, to follow cholesterol-lowering diets. Yet patients often don't know what cholesterol is, where it comes from, or how to lower it through diet. This book's Introduction clearly explains cholesterol and how it relates to heart disease, what your "numbers" mean, factors that raise cholesterol levels, cholesterol in women and children, and other important issues. A Stay Balanced Scale, designed by a leading nutritionist, helps people take control of their diets without ever feeling deprived. More than 100 text boxes offer tips on the latest research findings, health claims, shopping, cooking, dining out, meal planning, food products, fast food dangers, and much more practical, essential information. More than 100 recipes are guaranteed to please everyone, which makes eating for lower cholesterol easier and tastier than ever.

Disappointing if you want it for the COOKIE recipes 2 out of 5 stars.
32 of 32 people found this review helpful.

After reading the positive reviews, I bought this book. The introduction said "a few" recipes contain date sugar. When I went to the section on cookies, I found that all but three of the cookies recipes contain date sugar...usually 1 to 1.5 cups!
There are many other books that focus on fruit-sweetened baking...if cookies are your interest, I'd recommend looking at others first.

Editorial Review:

It's hard to believe that these tempting and delicious baked favorites contain no sugar, honey, or artificial sweetners:

Chocolate-Coconut Cake
Spelt Whole-Grain Yeast Bread
Peach Pie
Sugar-free, Dairy-free Fudge
Blueberry Crisp
Summer Afternoon Malt
Whole-Wheat Raisin Cookies
Graham-Cracker Cookie Cutouts
Apple-Nut Cinnamon Rolls
Raspberry Popsicles

The secret is fruit, pure and naural, along with fruit juice concentrates, date sugar, and other healthful alternatives to sugar. All recipes are dairy-free and most are cholesterol-free and can be adapted for common food allergies. Deborah Buhr's family-tested recipes are irresistibly good--perfect for children, diabetics, calorie counters, the food allergic, and anyone with a "healthy" sweet tooth.

And with no hard-to-find ingredients or time-consuming techniques, you'll have no problem using these recipes again and again. An award-winning dietitian, Tribole reviews the basics of nutrition and clears up the confusion surrounding carbohydrates, sodium, fatty acids, and phytochemicals. She also reveals her insider secrets to recipe makeovers, both tried-and-true and brand new. Here's a hint: Straight substitutions don't always work. (Anyone who has spread fat-free cream cheese on a bagel knows the truth in this.) Lots of reliable fat-saving swaps and flavor-boosting tricks are out there, and Tribole knows them all. Besides sound nutritional wisdom and fail-safe cooking tips, what truly sets this book apart are the simple recipes, so delicious that you'll forget how healthy they are.

Save your money! 1 out of 5 stars.
59 of 61 people found this review helpful.

Those who gave this a good review must not have tried any of the recipes.

The book title says extreme lo-carb meals on the go. It is none of these things.

A lot of the recipes contain low carb breads, pastas and tortillas which is fine if you have no weight to lose.

The book promises fast recipes but tells you in the introduction that to the author fast means that the recipes can be cooked in less than an hour. Many of the recipes require that you prep ingredients in advance, the author calls "make ahead".

Many of the recipes call for expensive, hard to find substitutions for sugar, wheat, and syrups.

The only good recipes in the book, which were few and far between, I already had from free, online, low carb sites. (I saw two recipes out of the whole book that I would try and already had seen them online.)

A huge disappointment and I was very excited by the reveiws given so I thought this would be a good resource for me.

Save your money. Search online for the same recipes without the expensive ingredient substitutes.

Editorial Review:

In this clever lo-carb manual the author tackles lifestyle challenges that busy lo-carb dieters face every day: What to do for breakfast when there isn't time to cook; Which lo-carb snacks can help fend off late afternoon sugar cravings; What's a quick, filling lunch to bring to work? Which easy-to-prepare lo-carb dinner options will the kids actually eat and enjoy? Featuring 150 fantastic meals that can be made ahead, such as Sausage and Cheese Muffins, Very Veggie Wraps and Mocha Cheesecake, this book is the perfect way to save both time and carbs.

Editorial Review:

If you are among the 1 in 250 american adults intolerant of gluten or allergic to wheat, you know how frustrating it can be to crave a buttery scone or a slice of warm pie. And if you have kids who are gluten-sensitive, you know how much they miss being able to bite into a chewy chocolate chip cookie when they come home from school and how much they hate having to say no to a slice of a friend's birthday cake.

Now, with Gluten-Free Baking by Cordon Bleu-trained chef Rebecca Reilly, you don't have to sit by while family and friends indulge in desserts and other confections. More than 125 recipes for sweet and savory goods, including crispy cookies, meltingly tender muffins, elegant quiches, and stunning layer cakes, prove that eating can be a pleasure, no matter what your dietary issues are.

Baking without wheat is notoriously tricky, but using Reilly's detailed step-by-step recipes, anyone will be able to turn out tempting treats like moist Pumpkin Bread and tender Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Crisp Ginger Molasses Cookies, Lemon Squares, and Pound Cake are kid-and family-pleasing favorites that will no longer be off-limits.

In addition, you'll find tips on how to stock a gluten-free kitchen, advice on techniques, sources for ingredients, and a list of resources and information on celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

Gorgeous color photographs show you how appealing gluten-free desserts can be. With Gluten-Free Baking, you'll never miss out on the opportunity to feast on sinfully rich desserts again!

A Perfect Fit 5 out of 5 stars.
18 of 20 people found this review helpful.

I have been on a moderate carb diet for a few years and was experimenting with recipes that would fit with my exchange diet and carb counting. Splenda had been on the market for only a year and few people knew how to cook with it and gain good results. Enter Marlene Koch into my life. Her recipes from this book were just what the doctor ordered. There is just enough sugar to make the textures in the food work, but the carb count and fat content was "a perfect fit" for my diet needs. Not only that, but every recipe I tried tasted fantastic and this book has allowed me to return classic recipes such as three bean salad, coleslaw, gingerbread and "sugar" cookies back into my diet without guilt or ill effects. I've made many of the recipes in this book and make her "Heavenly Cheesecake" for my holiday table each year.

Thank you Marlene for all your hard work. I'm looking forward to reading and cooking from more of your books!

Editorial Review:

The first of its kind cookbook expands the uses of Splenda, proving that it is versatile enough to be used in many different recipes for all types of meals.
