| Hardcover Description Dr. Phil fans should be delighted with a book of more than 100 recipes that complement his best-selling Ultimate Weight Solution and pledge to "taste better and cost less" while avoiding refined carbohydrates, saturated fats, salt, and sugars. Though your taste buds might have to readjust a bit, Dr. Phil promises that you won't find "skimpy diet-type meals that taste like wallpaper paste," nor will you have to fix separate meals for non-dieting family members. If you need structure, his "rapid start" 14-day menu plan, averaging 1200 calories/day, will get you going. You'll find updates of familiar classics with Huevos Rancheros, BLT (using turkey bacon or meatless bacon and light mayo), No-Fry Chicken-Fried Steak, Southern Oven-Fried Chicken (Grape-Nuts and egg white batter), Mac and Cheese, Guacamole (with tofu), and Three Bean Chili. Or explore new tastes with Curried Tabbouleh, Moroccan Chicken, Halibut Baked in Packets, and Asian Tofu Stew. Desserts range from Poached Pears to Apricot Cheesecake (Chocolate lovers will find Mocha Fudge Pudding, but no chocolate cake.) Recipes include a nutritional analysis: calories, protein, carbohydrates, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, fiber, sugars, and sodium. Most recipes seem heavy on meat and light on vegetables, however. --Joan Price |

A Helpful Follow Up This book is a very nice companion to his Ultimate Weight Loss Solution as I was stuck when it came to preparing meals. The recipes were easy to follow and tasty. I'd also like to add Dr. Phil by no means trys to sell himself as a wonder product and his philosophy is very simple which includes cutting down processed foods, exercising, and any one who has read his Ultimate Weight Loss Solution (which by some reviews is obvious they haven't) knows he makes it clear there is a psychological side to weight loss and not some magic cure. The cookbook is not a weight plan, it is a part of his plan. And if you buy the cookbook, you really should look into his Solution and Food Guide. And in my own opinion, don't judge a book by it's cover. Yes, he is a big man at 6'1" but by no means is he overweight.
disappointed Not enough recipes and the ones that are there do not sound interesting. Will give it to my daughter, maybe she will like it.

Dr Phil has hit it out of the ball park with this one. I am absolutely delighted with this book, and up until recently I was not a big fan of his, but now I find myself watching his show constantly, and let me tell you, I have not once disagreed with this man he is great to watch, listen to, and absolutely wonderful to look to for help. From the very first time that I seen his kitchen on tv, to the time I heard this book was available, I have wanted this book. I figured with a kitchen like that you have to know what you are doing, and to say he is overweight and needs to lose weight as one reviewer from the UK has said, is totally unfair, and in no way correct. Thanks Dr Phil!! |
