"Diet food can be better, richer, and more sumptuous than most everyday
foods," says Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the massive bestseller, Dr.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution.
Carbohydrates, in his opinion, are the root of
metabolic evil and the source of hyperinsulinemia, a condition that makes
it next to impossible to lose weight.
Billed as a companion to his Diet Revolution
book, this collection of recipes focuses on ultralow-carbohydrate dishes.
His anticarb stance leads to some unconventional
dietary advice: "Remember that, as a rule, the lower the fat content of
a milk product, the higher its carbohydrate grams. Use cream, not skim
milk; use sour cream, not yogurt."
While these recipes are certainly quick and easy to prepare and
feature easy-to-find ingredients, some are very high in fat (Zabaglione,
Crab and Avocado Salad, Ham and Cheese Sandwiches, Baked Eggs in Bacon
Rings).
While it may be true that fat is flavor and is necessary to some
extent to keeping blood sugar on an even keel, these recipes won't be
helpful for those who are watching their cholesterol or are on similarly
restricted diets.
Book Description

Forget about spending hours in the kitchen.

Quick and Easy New Diet Cookbook, you'll feast on juicy steaks, succulent
chops, and savory egg and cheese dishes, and indulge in creamy sauces
and desserts.

Diet Revolution, the recipes in the Quick and Easy New Diet Cookbook

the Atkins standard.

will help you produce delectable meals every day that will be the key,
to a whole new you.
