The 1200-Calorie-a-Day Menu Cookbook: Quick and Easy Recipes for Delicious Low-fat Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners, and Desserts (NTC KEATS - HEALTH)

the recipes are very easy to follow and are delicious, and after many failing diets, this one worked, not feeling hungry once.

its been a helpful read

Gives some good ideas & when your dieting that's always helpful. Lots more still to cook. Wish it could take the calories out of fun food haa haa

Although this recipe book DID have a number of things in it that were interesting and fun, there were just too many items not available to us here in the UK (fat-free soured cream to name just one). Furthermore, there were just too many ingredients in there - often more than 10 items for a main meal which is not bad for a special occasion, but downright irritating for a quick after-work dinner. I read this book through, and I can't say I didn't like it, but only as an 'ideas' book. Unfortunately, it will go in my pile of books for the charity shop.

Lovely thank you.

The book should not have images in the front showing pictures of meals BUT no information that in fact its just words Additionally it should state it is an American book, I don't understand half the ingredients as we may not have them in the UK. I most definitely would NOT recommend this book for people living in ukdue to the 2 points above

As described. Lots of America meals though

THIS IS A FANTASTIC BOOK NOT JUST FOR THOSE OF US TRYING TO WATCH OUR WEIGHT BUT FOR ALL FOOD LOVERS. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH, I PROMISE IF YOU BUY THIS YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK. TRY IT OUT!!!

Just what I was looking for. Fast delivery

The slight caveat is that there are no pictures/photos to accompany the recipes .

Wanted a 400 calorie cookbook and this is perfect. It has regular meals that I can make easily and can stay on the diet I am on that count calories. Just what I wanted.

What I like: I have tried a few of the breakfasts, with tweaks since I do not use synthetic fats like margarine and can no longer eat dairy. Even with the tweaks, the breakfasts are tasty! I get a lot of food and it's only 350 calories. There are a few things I do not like: 1. Oven temperatures and time to cook are not stated sometimes. I end up having to guess and I am notorious for over-cooking things. 2. The lunch and dinner recipes do have a LOT of ingredients. Most are seasonings to make the food taste good. Sadly, I made a pasta chicken dish that took time and it still tasted bland. Plus, I do not have time to make food with so many ingredients every day or every meal. I understand that each recipe requires a lot of ingredients because, in order to meet daily nutrient requirements, you do have to eat a protein, starch carb, and fibrous carb so that leads to plenty ingredients when you add in the author wants you to actually flavor it. 3. Because I do not substitute fake butter for real butter and mayo and such, I am probably eating more than 1200 calories. 4. Because of the above, I do not think I am losing weight. All I know is this book is too busy for me to do every day of the week. But, the breakfasts are yummy so I am still happy I bought the book. 5. I read some reviews on her 1500 calorie book and bought it as well. People say it has less ingredients. Well, it does...but what it also has is a side panel on each page telling you what side dishes to have. This may or may not create much extra work for the cook. I have not tried them yet. 6. I eat 5 meals a day now, so I still have to put in a lot of leg work to try to get my calorie count right. Needless to say, I am going to eat simpler food after my groceries are gone this week. This book still makes it too much work for me. 7. Fat per serving and calories are given. Protein count and Carb count are not. I wish they were.

Good book!
