Each soup alone has over 20g of carbs! And that’s just for soup not a meal! To lose weight (not just maintain your current weight) you can only eat 20-30grams of carbs per day, not per meal.
Most of these veggie cookbooks are for the rich anyway, a lot of the ingredients are only available at fancy-pants stores like whole foods. I hate to say it but diets like Atkins are within reach for low-income folks. Who has time (or money) to find something called ‘mirin’ whatever that is

I was really looking forward to cooking the recipes in this book. I went through it and made a tentative meal plan so I could know fit together the nutrients the way that I wanted to. However, alot of the recipes called for fresh ginger, which I am now aware I am not very fond of. Sadly, this book is now sitting in a kitchen drawer and I am looking for a different lifestyle (not diet) cookbook.

I regret buying this book. It is pretty much useless to me. Most of it is just some form of cooked leafy green with a spice. For the truly dumb, she has also included a recipe for oatmeal.
Not sure how this book was deemed worthy publication.

This looked great at first… but then I started looking at the calorie counts for most of the dishes. Most of the Main Dishes have less than 200 calories, some have less than 100. I don’t have time to cook and eat 8-10 meals per day.

We own several low carb recipe books an this is a good one. It’s different enough to make it a good addition to our collection. There’s no pictures in the book but none of the cheap recipe books seem to have pics so that’s fine.
