Without going into too many details, let me just say that THIS COOKBOOK is the only reason my wife and I are still on the Atkins diet. We bought four cookbooks (all highly recommended), only to find that, while providing tasty recipes, three of the cookbooks asked for all manner of “fancy” ingredients. Stuff not normally found in our “average” kitchen. Expensive stuff. And many of the recipes weren’t quite as low-carb as we had hoped (20g for one serving?).
Lauri’s cookbook took care of those problems. I think the only “fancy” ingredients we had problems with were Kitchen Bouquet (it was in the gravy section at the store) and shallots (never had one before). The rest is just plain, everyday ingredients. And low-carb? All of her recipes list the nutritional information right there. It’s nice to eat a large, tasty dinner with only 2.3g per serving! Most of the recipes are below 10g, and many are below 5g. Serving size is very generous.
I consider this book to be the best diet/way-of-eating investment I’ve made so far. This cookbook is just too good to pass up.

This is my favorite low carb cookbook! I started the Atkins diet in August and lost 20 lbs in 5 weeks! But then I stopped losing because I started cheating – the diet was just way too boring for me. I’m not a very imaginitive cook and found myself eating the same few things over and over again. Then I went out and bought every low carb cookbook that I could find. Lauri’s Low-Carb Coookbook is my favorite by far! I use it the most because for the most part the recipes are easy and tasty. I’ve even come up with some of my own variations based on Lauri’s recipes. I am now losing weight again. I have a lot of variation in my diet thanks to Lauri’s Low-Carb Cookbook and I know that variation is the key to success.

Last year I watched a co-worker totally transform herself on the Atkins diet. So I went out and bought Dr. Atkins’ book and cookbook, but didn’t start the diet until the first of this year. The induction period (the first 2 weeks) were not too bad, I mostly lived on T-bone steaks, but the next 2 weeks were disasterous! To me, cooking is “throw it on the grill” or “pop it in the microwave”. After the induction period, I was tired of steaks and so I gave my best shot at Dr. Atkins’ recipes. Each night I sat down to what can not be called a meal. After a few bites, it usually got tossed into the trash and I would drive off to McDonald’s or some other place not in keeping with the diet. Then the next morning I would vow to try again. I not only gained the 11 lbs I lost during the induction period I gained a few extra bonus pounds.
Not to be defeated, I talked to my co-worker and she told me about “Lauri’s Low-Carb Cookbook” and I bought it immediately. She was right, there are plenty of simple and yummy recipes! I’m now back on track. In February, I not only lost 16 lbs but I’m also learning how to cook! Just as the cover says, Lauri’s Low-Carb Cookbook is my constant companion in the kitchen. Thank you Lauri, for some simple and tasty recipes. Soon, I might even try some of the more challenging recipes.
If you too are “cooking-impaired” but want to lose weight on a low-carb diet, then this is the cookbook for you – I guarantee!

I have 5 low carb cookbooks and this one I simply love and certainly use the most. If you have been low carbing for a while, then you know that the key to sticking with the diet in keeping variety in your meals. I’m an OK cook, but I totally lack imagination. I need recipes in order to not bore myself with the same few things. Lauri provides the imagination which I lack. I am so impressed with the variety, simplicity and abundance of flavor in every recipe I have tried! Lauri has provided a”~ wonderful collection of recipes from around the world: Italian, Mexican, French, Asian, American and stuff from who knows where! It’s easy to stay on the diet with so many delicious choices. I know that this cookbook is fairly new but I hope that she writes another one soon.”~ loved it too, so it will grace our table again in the not too distant future.

I have found the recipes in Lauri’s Low-Carb Cookbook to be easy to prepare and very tasty! Plus, I love the fact that she includes desserts (the chocolate mousse is AWESOME) and that all the carb grams are already counted for you. My husband and I have enjoyed every meal I’ve prepared since buying this book, and look forward to being able to stay on our low-carb diet until we’ve lost all the weight we want to lose. This cookbook makes it possible to prepare a wide variety of excellent meals.
