 Seems Good, but Isn't... January 14, 2007
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I thought this cookbook was going to be great to help me eat 1200 calories a day. Unfortunately, the recipes in this book are so unusual for lunch and dinner that I didn't even attempt them. If you're cooking just for yourself, it's probably fine, but don't expect your family to like dappling in recipes such as rolled ham with cream cheese and sweet red poppy fruit-lettuce platter.
I'm glad that I bought the American Heart Association Low-Calorie Cookbook: More than 200 Delicious Recipes for Healthy Eating. You can still manage your 1200 calorie diet using this book and the recipes are much more down to earth than this cookbook. You can read my review on that cookbook to get a better idea of what you can make for a meer 300-400 calories a meal. PLUS DESSERT!!!

In order to keep the meals low-calorie/low-fat I found that many of the recipes call for ingredients that are processed and artificial such as butter sprays and butter seasonings, light margarine, non-fat cheese and other diary, turkey "meats" and egg substitutes etc. These are ideas that I could have come up with on my own, just switching high-fat ingredients to low-fat alternatives in any regular recipe. I guess I was looking for more of an inspired attempt and a healthier way to cook low-calorie. Also, there are no photographs.
 Awesome January 12, 2007
This is a Fabulous book!! I can't say enough about it, I have lost 30 pounds following the recipes in this book! My children and husband don't even realize we are cutting back and eating healthier!! The meals are easy to prepare and the serving size for most meals is only 4 so there aren't a lot of leftovers and it's really easy to figure out the portions!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to eat healthier!!

It is very informative and has several great recipes. Needs a few more pictures and a possible menu plan. But over all a good book to give you some recipes to get you started in planning your 1200 calorie a day menu.
Misunderstanding July 25, 2006

The only complaint I have about this book is that I thought it would help me cook a 1,200 calorie a day menu for myself. I was looking for a book to help me learn to cook for 1 or two. The recipes contained in this book are for 4-6 servings.
