 DR.GOTT'S NO FLOUR NO SUGAR COOKBOOK November 26, 2008
DR.GOTT'S No Flour, No Sugar,Cookbook is a great cookbook. You will be so surprised at the recipes that you can make without any of these ingredients
sugar and flour. The recipes are basically items that you already have in your cabinet.
 Think outside the box October 3, 2008
This cookbook has been very handy. I had read the book a year ago and tried to implement some of Dr. Gott's suggestions. However, being slightly cooking-impaired and lacking creativity things could get stale. I liked the variety of different foods, plus the fact that he suggests other things and making some things vegetarian (which half my family is). The pizza using rice for the crust is my personal favorite. Easy, crunchy, totally "outside the box". You really have to rethink label reading and deciding that creating foods for your family is worth the work. I have used many recipes and they are easy to modify to your own taste.

I wish the sugar free recipes weren't prepared with Splenda. I personally use agave nectar or stevia to bake my desserts. Stevia can be funky to bake with but it's possible with practice and agave nectar is simply magic. It's a low glycemic fructose from a mexican cactus and it can be used in coffee, in any beverages or smoothies, pies, muffins, etc...
The other recipes look quite interesting but there's nothing exceptional here. Like the title of this message says: Can I return this book?

There are all kinds of diet books on the market. Whatever you want to try, there is a diet for it. Though I have not specifically tried the "No flour, No Sugar" diet by Dr. Gott, I have read the cookbook and found it extremely useful. A member of my family is gluten intolerant and, while not all of these recipes are gluten free (please note: some people who are gluten intolerant cannot eat oats, a main staple of Dr. Gott's), enough of them are that I am able to use them to extend what my family does eat.
The recipes are easy to follow, healthful and there are enough to keep you cooking for weeks. What is missing from this book are dietary specifics. I rarely buy a cookbook that doesn't include a breakdown of calories, fats, protein, etc. per serving. With this book, I will have to plug the recipe into a program I have and do all the calculations myself. I'd rather see some numbers in the book than have to do all this myself. Also, he is a huge promoter of "Splenda" - a product I and others in my family do not care for. Nor do we care for other artificial sweeteners. But he does give you enough alternatives such as Stevia (though there are caveats about this herb), and syrups made from fruits.
As with most cookbooks, you will find some recipes you love and some you will not. But take a chance and try them. What do you have to lose - besides the weight? All that being said, if you are a proponent of the No Flour, No Sugar diet, then this is a good companion to that book.
