Summary: A mixed bag, but worth looking into.
Comment: This book was given to me as a gift from someone who knew I was on the South Beach diet (generally classified as "low carb"). I probably wouldn't have purchased it myself, but I did find a number of easy, delicious recipes that were worth the effort. The pros: This book is directed more towards the Atkins diet than South Beach. The fat content is pretty high for South Beachers. The book is nicely organized and the writer gives estimated prep times, which is helpful. Another nice addition was some egg recipes, some of which I tried and was pleasantly surprised with. The CONS: The high fat content. Many of these can be modified by using reduced fat products very easily, so don't let that alone deter you. Also, there really aren't a lot of pictures, which would have been nice. Finally, some of the recipes require a great deal of preparation before and after slow-cooking, which sort of defeats the purpose of this time-saving device.
Overall, I felt that it was a good balance. There were several take-aways here which I have used repeatedly. If you are an Atkins fan who doesn't love to cook, I recommend it very highly.

Summary: Inexpensive, Simple, Best for slow cookers
Comment: I'm newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic and checked this out of library, hoping to find healthy recipes. Excitingly, this book contains recipes that are simple and inexpensive; and has made this scary time in my life so much better. These are everyday, not exotic-type, recipes. My husband has been very happy with our meals, and I was happy to find this book to buy.

Summary: Not Just for Low-Carb Dieters
Comment: I absolutely love this cookbook. The recipes are not the same old add some meat and cream of mushroom soup and cook for 6 hours. There are many recipes with bold flavors including Thai, Asian, Indian and Mexican inspirations.

Summary: BIG waste of money and ingredients
Comment: I was really excited to buy this book and try out some healthier low carb recipes in my new crock pot. Once I got the book and flipped through it I realized that most of the recipes required ingredients that I don't commonly have at home. I couldn't make a single thing in it till I went grocery shopping and stocked up on some expensive spices, tapioca, chicken broth, beef broth, cooking wines, fresh rosmary, etc. So I buy all this stuff only to find that the recipes are a shade beneath mediocre. I tried to like them, I wanted to like them but I couldn't develope an affinity for a single thing out of this book. The whole purpose behind going crock for me was to save time and money but LOTS of food and ingredients went to waste attempting these recipes. I'm not a cook, I'm a scientist. Cooking creativity is not in my arsenal so I followed every recipe to the letter. I can't recommend this book.
