Editorial Reviews for The High-Protein Cookbook: More than 150 healthy and irresistibly good low-carb dishes that can be on the table in thirty minutes or less.

End food boredom and diet burnout with more than 400 sophisticated, low-carbohydrate dinners that are bursting with flavor--and on the table in under 30 minutes!
Hundreds of thousands have embraced the low-carbohydrate lifestyle finding that a diet based on lean protein, fruits, and vegetables and less dependent on simple carbohydrates has helped them look and feel better. But a monotonous menu of steak and salad or expensive, additive-laden prepared foods has been the undoing of many a successful diet regimen.
The solution? Linda West Eckhardt and Katherine West DeFoyd have devised more than 100 protein-rich, low-carbohydrate dinners that will satisfy even the most demanding diners. Drawing on their experiences as award-winning cookbook authors, Eckhardt and DeFoyd have developed a tempting range of high-protein meals that are quick enough to make on a weeknight but elegant enough to share with guests -- and so delicious they'll never know they've been shortchanged on carbohyd rates, fat, and calories.
Each entree in The High-Protein Cookbook
* Provides at least 30 grams of protein, yet is light on fat and calories.
* Is styled for two people but can easily be doubled or tripled
* Uses short lists of fresh, healthful ingredients
* Is based on simple cooking techniques requiring no special equipment
* Avoids "artificial" products and flavorings
* Contains reasonable amounts of high-quality protein balanced by ample servings of vegetables and fruits
With chapters devoted to side dishes and salads, sauces and condiments, and even sinfully satisfying desserts that won't break the carbohydrate bank, The High-Protein Cookbook is the perfect companion to many of today's most popular dietary regimens and an enticing argument for cutting back on excess carbohydrates.

Summary: High protein but not low-carb enough
Comment: This book may have high protein recipes but they are not really low-carb. Do they have equal to, or less than, 15 carbs per serving? Yes, but they also include white flour, mango and other high carb fruits and vegetables. The recipes are also a little fancy for me. I am 28 and live by myself so for me a lot of the recipes are just way over the top for a quiet dinner alone. If I had a date over maybe I would use some of the recipes, but definitely not as a TV dinner. If you're thinking about buying this book I would go to a bookstore and look through it first, then come back to Amazon to get it cheaper if you decide it would work for you.
I also bought this book because I am going to be having weight loss surgery in a couple months and want to find some good cook books now (my nutritionist recommends 65 grams of protein a day and that I eat protein before anything else on my plate), but I plan on having about 15 carbs per DAY (if that), not just for dinner, and I plan on avoiding anything with wheat gluten as well. This cookbook is just not low-carb enough for me, includes wheat gluten around every corner and is way too fancy. I will be returning it. If anyone has any recommendations that sound closer to what I am looking for, besides the Atkins cookbooks, which I already own, please reply to my post with the title. I would very much appreciate your assistance with this. Thank you.

Summary: The High Protein Cookbook
Comment: I was excited to get this book because I have transitioned to a high protein lifestyle, however, there wasn't one single recipe in this book that was for the home cook in my opinion. Everything called for specialty ingredients and complicated steps. I've already donated it to goodwill.
