Product Description
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.

Low carb without a ton of saturated fat,
This review is from: 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. (Paperback)
This is a great cookbook for both low-carbers and regular diners as well. Most other protein based cookbook recipes are loaded with extra saturated fat. This one has great fish and chicken recipes. I use this book primarily over all other low carb cookbooks. Quick recipes and good results. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Easily our favourite cookbook (and our secret weapon for entertaining guests for dinner.) We tried dozens of recipes from it and while their timings may be accurate for two people, for family sized portions add another 15 minutes or so to prep times.One of the great things about the book is the occasional requirement for unique ingredients. Some may find this a detriment but for those who love cooking and eating its a great way to expand your palette. Ignore the title and try this book! The meals are inventive, quick and so very yummy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

My husband is on a low-carb diet so I have been searching for good recipes for dinners in the evening. I bought this cookbook because it said that the meals could be cooked in 30 min. or less. Of all the hundreds of cookbooks we have this has definitely been one that we use alot. The meals are GREAT and easy to cook although one or two of them have definitely taken longer than 30 minutes. The combination of flavors is great and we love the variety of recipes. I like the recipes so much that I am also eating low-carb meals - and we've both been quite successful on this diet. I'd highly recommend this cookbook
