The Hamptons Diet Cookbook: Enjoying the Hamptons Lifestyle Wherever You Live Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How DO the rich and famous always seem to stay so thin and healthy? With the exception of maybe Danny DeVito and Rodney Dangerfield, can you think of very many movie stars who are overweight or obese? Probably not. That's because they have found the secret to eating better quality foods that not only satisfy their tastebuds, but also their nutritional needs.

Dr. Fred Pescatore first introduced his healthy weight loss principles in his groundbreaking 2004 bestselling book called The Hamptons Diet with Hollywood hotties Sara Jessica Parker and Ren?e Zellweger among its most ardent followers.

But now, by popular demand, Dr. Pescatore is back with a hot new book full of over 200 mouthwatering and flavorfully unique recipes called The Hampton's Diet Cookbook. While you may not be rich and famous, he shows you how you can eat like one with Mediterranean-styled cooking assistance from renowned chef Jeff Harter.

Once you try many of these recipes, you'll forget you're actually on a diet! That is the beauty of finding a low-carb program like The Hamptons Diet -- IT TASTES SO GOOD YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT.

But it does. With countless numbers of people using this nutritional approach to lose weight in 2006, despite what the naysayers in the media and those pesky low-fat lovin' health "experts" say, the fact remains that this way of eating has worked and STILL continues to work to help people lose weight and keep it off for good. I lost over 180 pounds thanks to a healthy low-carb eating plan and you can too!

As a strong proponent of eating more organic whole foods as well as liberal amounts of macadamia nut oil, Dr. Pescatore wants the average, everyday person to look at food in an entirely different manner than they ever have before. Pay attention to the kind of carbohydrates that you are putting in your mouth and stick with the healthful slow-release ones as well as foods that are balanced according to the glycemic index and the glycemic load. The recipes in The Hampton's Diet Cookbook provide you with this balance.

Just in case you didn't get his original book, Dr. Pescatore provides an abridged version of The Hamptons Diet plan at the front of his new book to catch you up to speed, including explaining the various food pyramids that you will want to know about when you are on his diet. Trust me, throw out everything you thought you knew about diet and nutrition and keep your mind open to the greater possibilities that await you in this book.

There's even one chapter that explains what kind of kitchen appliances and tools you will need to start eating healthier. Hey, if you're gonna make the commitment to lose weight and keep it off, then what better way than to start anew than to literally clean house?! You'll also enjoy the convenient grocery shopping lists that Dr. Pescatore provides to keep you focused on what you need to do to get with the plan and make it happen for yourself.

The recipes in The Hampton's Diet Cookbook cover breakfast ("the most important meal of the day"), lunch (something light, nothing fancy), and dinner ("one of the most enjoyable and entertaining parts of the day"). Additionally, there are great side dishes and salads to combat boredom on the plan even if you can't make it look very good (Dr. Pescatore wrote that "the hardest thing for me is to get a salad to look pretty"). I can relate, but who cares when the taste is...mmmmmm!

For those of you who want to entertain guests and dazzle them with your low-carb cooking prowess, Dr. Pescatore presents a series of popular party recipes that will have them raving! Interestingly, you would think these recipes would need to be fancy-schmancy, but actually many of them are quite simple. The point is, Dr. Pescatore explains, to have fun with your life and stop worrying about food so much. It's time to eat better and be merry -- The Hamptons Diet way!

But what would a cookbook be without a few wonderfully tantalizing desserts?! However (and I LOVE this!), Dr. Pescatore makes it very clear up front what you won't see in his recipe book: "Sugar won't be used in any of these dessert recipes." EXCELLENT! That's just the way we like it when we are livin' la vida low-carb. A superb dissertation on what is acceptable as an alternative to sugar is included at the beginning of the dessert chapter to help you make the right choices about what you should use, including a list of the "healthy sweeteners" (Stevia, Xylitol), ones where the "jury is still out" (Splenda, maltitol), and finally the ones you really should "avoid" (hint: Nutrasweet didn't do so well).

At the back of the book, Dr. Pescatore includes in the appendix an amazing resource guide to help you find some of the ingredients that may be hard for you to find in your area. He earnestly wants to see you succeed at his plan and literally thought of everything for people who read The Hampton's Diet Cookbook.

Regardless of which low-carb plan you have been on, whether it's Atkins, South Beach, Protein Power, or The Zone, The Hampton's Diet Cookbookwill give you even more succulent and tasty recipes your are sure to love and enjoy with your family. Eating healthy never tasted so good! That's the miracle of low-carb living. THANKS, Dr. Pescatore for continuing to be a champion of this amazingly miraculous way of eating!

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Low-Carb Meals Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book contains a reasonable number of recipes and lots of 'hints' that if you've done ANY reading about low carbohydrate eating, will be superfluous.

The recipes run the gamut of carb counts, though I thought that the bulk of them were much higher carb than is helpful.Following the suggestions in this book and the recipes, it wouldn't be all that hard to hit 80-100++ grams of carb per day... which is simply TOO HIGH for many people who are following low carb lifestyles.

Many recipes call for sugar, white flour, semi-sweet chocolate and cornstarch.Come ON... those are NOT "low carb" ingredients.

This is more or less a repackaged low fat/lower cal cookbook with "low carb" thrown on the cover to try to generate some market share.My copy is being donated to a charity, it isn't worth the space on the shelf for someone interested in real "low carb" cooking.

The White Wine Diet: Lose All the Weight You Want Without Feeling Deprived Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The recipes are good, but the book is based in european and metric measurements.The weight charts are in stones not pounds so you need to know that there are 14 lbs. per stone to convert.The recipes are all in metric so all the measurements are in grams, ml's, etc. and need to be converted to cups, tablespoons, etc. which can be a hassle.

Could there be a more perfect diet? This diet allows you to maintain a healthy, balanced eating plan that will make you drop weight off, and still allow you to drink up to three glasses of white wine every day. It might sound too good to be true, but it isn't-the secret to this diet is a simple matter of eating sensibly and taking all things in moderation. The upshot is that you needn't feel hungry, and you needn't feel deprived of the good things in life.

The Holford Low GL Diet: Lose Fat Fast Using the Revolutionary Fatburner System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried, unsuccessfully, to lose weight for a decade.And when I say I had tried everything, I do mean everything.I eventually simply accepted that I would be a "fat chick" for the rest of my life.That is, until I had a medical and was told I was now officially a Type 2 diabetic.I was horrified!My sister, who had always been thin, had managed to lose her post-pregnancy pot-belly with this book, plus there was the incentive that it claimed to help stabilize blood sugar.With nothing to lose, except hopefully a few pounds, I went ahead and bought the book.Smartest money I ever spent.
The recipes were actually dead easy and absolutely delicious and within a short period of time, I understood the philosophy of what should and shouldn't be on my plate, even when eating out.Within 3 months I had lost 35 pounds!As if that wasn't enough to impress my doctor, blood tests also showed that my blood sugar was back in the normal range!
This is so much more than a 'diet'.It's a lifestyle change, and I found it incredibly easy.Dinner guests have been known to apologize for coming over for dinner and forcing me to break my diet.I smile and tell them that I'm not breaking my diet - everything they've just eaten is part of the Holford plan.None of them can believe I can eat like this and still lose weight!
If you've ever struggled to shed some weight, do yourself a favor.This is the only thing that has ever worked for me and it was easy!I'm still losing weight, I'm healthier and fitter and really feel as though I've been given a new lease on life!

The Four Corners Diet: The Healthy Low-Carb Way of Eating for a Lifetime Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been on this diet since it was called the GO diet.Not only did I lose all the weight I desired without starving myself to death, I have also managed to keep it all off!!This diet is so simple it's a wonder everyone isn't on it.Easy changes to my eating habits has resulted in a permanent change in not only my weight but also my overall health.The sleepy feeling halfway through the day is no longer there.I do not need to sleep as many hours at night as I used to either.I love this diet!!It's given me more energy and at least a couple more hours a day of "awake" time.To me that is priceless.My 29 year old son went on it and his triglycerides were improved by it.He remains on it to this day as he too believes it is a life style change and not just a weightloss diet.I am wondering if the "reader from Alabama" even read this book or is perhaps confusing the Four Corners diet with another diet, because coffee is a "pharmafood" and is NOT discouraged on this diet.It is, in fact, specifically included in the diet.I should know because I drink at least 3 or 4 cups of coffee a day - a habit I've had for 20 plus years now.I love this diet and I love this book.I will remain on this diet for the rest of my life.

Product Description:
There's no cutting corners if you want to be healthy.... Introducing the bold, easy, clinically proven LOW-CARB way to lose weight now-and keep it off for life
Millions of us are jumping on the low-carb bandwagon, yet many nutritionists and health experts are questioning the long-term medical effects of these dietary choices. The Four Corners Diet is a medically tested, healthy way to cut carbs without cutting out nutrition-packed vegetables, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and fiber. It is easy and realistic and will help you shed weight and keep it off.
In 1996, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara embarked on an in-depth review of the then-popular diets and the scientific literature concerning weight loss and improvements in serum lipids through diet. Sifting through hundreds of studies, they set out to create their own diet-one based on the most proven elements and soundest data from the scientific literature. The diet they created has 4 cornerstones." -the FOUR CORNERS of the title, and emphasizes:
1. Low-carb eating-to keep blood sugar levels on an even keel and hunger pangs at bay
2. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat-and limiting consumption of saturated fat
3. Fiber-a highly beneficial form of carbs that we don't digest
4. Pharmafoods-foods with health benefits beyond their content of vitamins and minerals and include probiotic foods such as yogurt and buttermilk, as well as many vegetables and some fruits
After first testing the diet on themselves, and both losing weight, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara started a formal clinical study in moderately to severely obese subjects, and they and others have now tested this diet more informally with hundreds of people of varied weights and ages.

Bread & Breakfast Baking Low Carb II Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a perfect addition to my low carb library!! Baking Low Carb was superb, but Bread and Breakfast by Diana Lee is simply the best low carb bread (and more!) cookbook I have ever seen!! It includes chapters packed full of recipes for yeast breads and rolls, quick breads, and "other" breakfast options (as well as eggs) like pancakes, waffles, custards, french toast, cereals, toppings and fillings!!! A Low Carbers DREAM!! It also includes directions to make low carb specialty coffee drinks like Cappuccino, Mocha, Latte, etc. Diana starts off with an easy to read "Before you begin" section which explains in simple english, the differences in low carb baking to regular baking, the ingredients and WHY you need certain things to be successful with recipes. She give in depth instructions on where to find ingredients with several options, and describes her ingredients perfectly so you KNOW what to buy. She includes a page of low carb baking tips, and page of recipe substitutions, as well as measurement, substitution equivalencies and even two pages on folding fancy napkins. NO low carber should be without this book! We love it at my house.

Product Description:
After completing " Baking Low Carb" I found that a lot of people loved the bread recipe and wanted more of the same so that is how "Bread & Breakfast" came to be developed. Until I started testing recipes, I didn't realized how much I missed having bread for those occasional sandwich meals or for breakfast. I was in heaven when I figured out the Cinnamon Rolls.
This new book contains all new recipes including yeast bread and rolls, quick breads, hot cereal, eggs and pancakes. Some of the recipes included are: Garlic Bread, Wheat Bread, Bran Bread, Cinnamon Bread, Oat Nut Bread, Rhubarb Kuchen, Peachy Cream Cinnamon Rolls, Dinner Rolls, Apple Bran Muffins, Carrot Loaf, Peanut Butter Coffee Cake, Biscuits, Caraway Rye Crackers, Bran Cereal, Mexican Oven Omelet and many more.

Lose Weight the Smart Low-Carb Way: 200 High-Flavor Recipes and a 7-Step Plan to Stay Slim Forever Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Typical of publications from the Prevention magazine staff, "Lose Weight the Smart Low-Carb Way" takes into consideration the latest medical research to create a diet that helps you lose weight the healthy way. Unlike other low-carb diets like Atkins, it doesn't go to extremes. It doesn't recommend you go into a state of ketosis (the body's alternate way of getting energy when it doesn't have enough carbs), but rather, it advocates somewhat reduced carbs and choosing less harmful types of carbs.
Authors Bettina Newman and David Joachim first explain the whys behind low-carb dieting. I found particularly useful a section which addresses common concerns about low-carb diets such as whether the diet will have a detrimental effect on cholesterol levels. Newman and Joachim don't load you down with a bunch of theory on your body's metabolic response to this or that. In fact, theory and diet plan make up only about 20% of the book, and some of the 20% are personal triumph stories and diet menus for various calorie ranges. The majority of the book is recipes.
They then outline the diet plan. Although they start out with the basic principles which can be used alone, for those who do better watching grams and calories, more specific diet recommendations involving calorie counts and grams are provided. A simple calculation based on how active you are tells you how many calories you should aim for. For those who can't make the switch the book encourages a slow weaning from our previous eating habits, as even making one little change like not eating sugar can cause weight loss. Sprinkled throughout the book (including in the recipes section, so make sure you go through every page) there are valuable tips such as how to recognize alternate names for sugar ("hidden" sugar).
The recipes so far range from good to very good. I've made about 4 or 5, and I plan to make all the ones I've tried so far again. They are very easy to make, so they fit into a busy lifestyle. One I prepared took much less time than I thought, so I had to take a break and play computer games with the extra time I had allotted for cooking dinner! Most use very common ingredients or have substitutions suggested for more exotic ingredients.
Since I already ate largely the way it says to when I got the book, I can't attest to losing so many pounds which were a direct effect of this book's diet. When I did switch to eating this way, however, a small amount of weight mysteriously disappeared without any effort (I'm about average weightwise, so I wouldn't expect much more), even though I was eating more oils. I also stopped snacking constantly, and my blood profile improved immensely.
Those of you who get this book as their first diet book will be lucky. I had to read several diet and health books, consider the information, and combine the best pointers from each to come up with essentially what "Lose Weight the Smart Low-Carb Way" advocates. If you want to lose weight or ever just eat healthier and are feel fad dieting is not for you, give this book a try. It is a reasonable diet plan which people can stick to, based on the latest medical research.

The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet: The Fast, No-Hunger Weightloss Diet for Vegetarians Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I'm neither a vegetarian or a vegan, I did want to have more vegetables in my low carb high protein diet. Rose Elliot did a great job on this book.The book is well balanced with readable information, very useful quick reference charts, menus, recipes, a few encouraging testimonies along the way. She does provide vegan alternatives to the lacto-vegetarian choices. And, best of all, it is an easy inexpensive way to lose weight on a low carb diet.

Her commonsense approach to recipes means you can make them with food typically on hand and quickly. Typically, most of the prep work can be done in a few minutes.And, you can expand on them as you learn the basic techniques.As I've worked my way through the book, one of my favorite recipes is her spaghetti squash using cream cheese with spices.

It literally only takes ten minutes to steam the squash in the microwave then fold in the cheese with spices.You can use already prepared cheese with herbs and spice mixes from the store.Or, you can use Philadelphia cream cheese and have your own ethnic flavors from Mexican to Indian, to Italian Garlic-Parmesan etc. And, you can use almost any steamed vegetable that has been thin sliced.It is a nice break from tomato sauces and there are never any leftovers.

This book is definitely a keeper!

The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a year of losing 40 pounds eating according to their earlier book, Protein Power, I began searching for ways to expand my menus. I have bought several other cookbooks looking for adequate alternatives to baked goods, but was never happy with the results: Often too delicate, or too bitter, or they'd fall...
Now along comes Drs. Eades and Ursula Solom with recipes that are exactly what they advertise: Comfort Foods. Tonight, we enjoyed delicious Chili Con Carne with Black Soy Beans and slices of Best Whole Wheat Bread and butter. All low-carb, satisfying and delicious. For breakfast, we added a slice of Super Banana Bread mini-loaf to our plate of ham and eggs. Hard to believe it was low-carb, it tasted (and rose) just like the real McCoy.
Most of the recipes freeze, so I can make a variety of baked goods on the weekend, freeze and have them handy for days to come.
I can hardly wait to try the Cinnamon Rolls, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Elegant Biscuits and so much more.
If you enjoy a low-carb lifestyle, this book belongs in your arsenal.

The South Beach Diet Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you've read the South Beach Diet, it did include some preliminary recipe ideas, but they were few and far between. This follow-up cookbook is being marketed as if it were looking to dovetail on the popularity of its predecessor, but I believe if you have this, you don't even need the original.
The variety of recipes is fascinating, and the diet phase they correspond to in the original diet (which you can easily comprehend from this book alone) is clearly marked.
Mind you, this is not a "low carb" book. It is about lowering "bad" carbs while allowing "good" carbs. The South Beach idea veers around keeping the Glycemic Index low and Agatston does a pretty good job of explaining the nutritional logic for doing so.
The recipes that I have tried so far are quite good in terms of taste. The best thing for me is that none of the recipes includes any fancy condiments that you'd only find in some super-elite department stores on the other side of town.Very handy for a health-conscious bachelor.
Give it a try. Healthy *and* tasty recipes can't be a bad investment anyway!

(More customer reviews)I came on line to order this amazing book for my friend on the South Beach Diet and was so suprised to see someone question it's accuracy because I am a Weight Watcher (points are in the book), and hate labels that lie! First of all in my copy, that I got a couple weeks back, the first recipe - Strawberry Lemonade- has the ingredients and I did not see a lot of typo's - so hers must have been a bad copy. I did find the 0 grams on the "compare" page - but it is clearly just an innocent mistake. The page highlights that Ms. Koch's Cinnamon Pancakes and Apple Butter Syrup have 11 grams of fat and then "compares" them to regular pancakes and syrup with 3 pats of butter. Since it clearly (in a box) says YOU SAVE: 9 grams of fat - along with 56 carbs, 195 calories and 7 points!!! by having hers instead of the "usual" pancakes and syrup you can see the fat grams on the high fat and sugar comparison should have been 20 (not 0). Yet, just to be sure I re-calculated several recipes with my own nutrition calculator, and they were all perfect - no errors - with accurate data and weight watcher points.
More important - this book not only has great food - Chai Tea, Pumpkin Muffins, a bunch of great Coleslaws, Spinach Salad (with hot bacon dressing), Sloppy Joes, ice creams and even Cheesecake for breakfast - every single recipe I have made has been easy and delicious. It is the first book I have found that does such a good job cutting the fat along with the sugar and carbs and that has good recipes for everyday use (and a bunch for the holidays). I am ordering another book, and her dessert book, as soon as I finish this review and recommend you do so too. You will not be disappointed.

The Complete Idiot's Guide Glycemic Index Cookbook (Complete Idiot's Guide to) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was recently diagnosed with insulin resistance, so I jumped right on the Low Glycemic train.I love the Complete Idiot's Guide to 20-minute meals, so I thought this would be the best place to start.The first part of the book has lots of helpful information, and each recipe shows all the nutritional content.The downside is that a lot of the recipes include expensive ingredients or ingredients that I can't find anywhere, such as Hi-Maize and Xylitol and Soy Flour.My only resort would be ordering online.With the 20 min meals book, I could almost always flip it open and find something to make with what I already had in the house.
The fruit recipes are plentiful, but as someone who loves fruit, I can eat tons of it and don't need the bother of cooking it.But for those who find it hard to get in their daily servings, they would probably be great.I also found that many of the recipes involve a lot of meat and though there is a small vegetarian section, those recipes don't look stellar.I would say, if you're a vegetarian, a picky eater or on a budget, maybe just try looking up recipes online.

500 Low-Carb Recipes: 500 Recipes from Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First let me say that I own many, many low-carb cookbooks, and this one is THE best I have ever read!Not only does it offer 500, yes, 500 recipes that are easy, fabulous and low carb, but the introduction and ingredient chapters were SPECTACULAR!The introduction was warm, witty and informative.I typically skim through the beginning chapters and get right to the recipes, but I couldn't put this one down!So many questions that I had were answered in the Low Carb Specialty Foods chapter, not to mention the Polyols chapter and the Where to Find Low-Carb Specialty Products chapter (she doesn't like paying through the nose for this stuff, either)!
The Ingredients You Need to Know About section was the absolute best--necessary and unique information about eggs, fats/oils, flour substitutes (what the heck are guar and xanthan gums, anyway--she answers that, too!), sweeteners (wow, I can have molasses!), vegetables (and I can have carrots, too!), and oh so much more.Her first recipe is addictive enough to eat every day (Heroin Wings)!I wish I could say that I've made all the recipes, but I'm so busy trying out the recipes from the first chapter, I haven't even looked at the other chapters yet, but believe me, I know they'll be outstanding.
This author is down-to-earth, funny and charming.I can relate to her so well.She stresses over and over again to listen to your body and let that be your guide regardless of whether the food is low-carb.This works so well for me.The BEST book you will ever purchase on low-carbing and low-carb recipes.DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
