Didn't like it. by Knowledge Forest (Washington, DC United States)  2 Stars
November 08, 2009
I prefer books that just give you the information without a lot of opinion. Also, there's not a lot to this book. I haven't opened it again since the day I received it.

this is a great book by K. Tigchelaar (Michigan) 5 Stars
November 02, 2009
this book has enabled me to lose weight, but doing it vegetarian. The first month of the diet I did not have time for making recipes, but followed suggestions for people who are busy, but this month I plan to incorporate some suggested dishes. I recommend this to anyone who is vegetarian, but would like to lose weight low carb!!

Cheese & Eggs, Cheese & Eggs, Cheese & Eggs by S. Doyle. 2 Stars
November 01, 2009
The concept behind the book is sound. A reduction of calories and carbs equals a reduction in weight. First the water goes and then over the 14 day period, fat. I lost 5 lbs in two weeks. This doesn't sound like much but it is the final 5 lb ceiling that I have never managed to shed despite trying long hours of exercising and any number of diets.
The recipes in this book are, sadly, incredibly bland and unimaginative with a heavy reliance on eggs and cheese (or tofu). I was so bound up that I was having painful intestinal cramps. The solution was to eat more fibre such as endive, celery, spinach or bran. But again, all consumed with little or no flavoring (the bran tasted like ground cardboard).
At the end of the 14 days, I was sick of the eggs and cheese. And there was an additional problem of what to do if you wanted to continue on a reduced carb diet. I felt I could not adapt the recipes if I wished to continue.
Many meat eaters think that vegetarians have an incredibly limited diet, lacking in variety. Most vegetarians know this is not true (although I am often amazed that some vegetarians themselves think that all they can eat is a salad). This book does not dispel that myth. There are other books available that are filled with inventive flavorful recipes(eg. Vegan Vengeance). Now all we need is one that has flavorful reduced carb recipes.

A nice femenine touch to dieting by Elsa Quiles (MD, USA)  4 Stars
October 09, 2009
The contents of the book "femmenized" the ordeal of counting carbs. It help me understand and dispel the myth that vegetarians still need to be concious of carb intake. Good book but geared to the UK market.
