This book I guess is good for a single person or a family who needs to cut back on salt. If you like your food very flavorful don’t get this book. On the other hand if your dieting it is a pretty good book.

This book includes a ten week menu plan with shopping lists. I just bought groceries for week 10, and I’m loving it. My very picky (and diabetic) husband has learned to eat vegetables over the last 10 weeks, and we have both enjoyed the recipes. I am logged on to buy it for a friend.

My objective was simple-fast, small amount of common ingredients, appealing meal ideas.
This book called for some strange ingredients, some of the recipes looked tedious, and I really just wasn’t very attracted to any of the meal ideas in here. Not the type of food I am going to be able to get husband to eat either, so I wound up sending it back.
I have had great success so far with a few other books:
Diabetic Low-Fat & No Fat Meals in Minutes
The Busy People Series of cookbooks.

The recipies are really good, and I like how all the portions are laid out ie: carbs, calories, sodium, etc.

The menus and all the recipes in Ponichtera’s Quick & Healthy cookbooks are easy and they work perfect for my Weight Watcher’s plan! The best fact is the whole family loves the recipes in both books!!!
