Product Description
Product Description
Numerous studies and personal experience have shown that low-carb dieting is a fast, safe and effective way of losing weight and keeping it off. The problem for many people is finding replacements for all those high-carb meals they used to cook, without eating the same dishes for every meal or spending hours in the kitchen. This collection of quick and easy recipes for everyday meals should prove valuable, whether you are cooking for one, or a busy mum with fussy kids to feed. Ingredients are all readily available and most are inexpensive, contrary to the often held belief that following a low-carb diet means a higher food shopping bill.

Still Fat? CUT CARBS OUT OF YOUR DIET. A Fat cell is not made by a Kcal it is made by the binding of a triglyceride and a fatcell via Alpha Glycerol Phosphate (AGP). AGP is found in Insulin (the fat producing hormone)- only produced when you have Carbohydrates in your body.
I've used this book to create nice dinners to keep in the freezer to then cook in seconds via the microwave its brilliant I highly recommend it - I've also bought her other book as well.

Better than Ever!
9 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
I was so excited to see that Dana Carpender was coming out with a 15 minute recipe book. I have the 500 low carb recipes book and am tremendously pleased with it, but this new book is so awesome that although I have used my 500 recipes book religiously for months, it has sat on the shelf for the last week. I have made a different recipe every night this week using this 15 minute recipe book and am enthralled. I've made Sour Cream Ham Supper (my husband loved this), Spanish Rice (scrumptuous, I think I found my new favorite), Beef and Artichoke Skillet (fabulous),Ham and Beans Skillet (so easy, and absolutely delicious), and tomorrow I'm making Pepperoncini Beef; I can't wait. I've never enjoyed cooking so much. All the recipes are so fast and easy. So far, they've all been extremely tasty, too. Dana, keep up the good work.

Weight Loss With Quick, Delicious Meals!
27 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
In a motivated mood, I asked my doctor recently to give me a good diet plan so I could take off many unwanted pounds. He didn't skip a beat. He just said "try the Atkins' Diet." So, I did...and it is excellent! What a great way to lose weight, in a healthy manner, with a minimal amount of suffering. I am dropping pounds, not feeling hungry, and ready to experiment with low carbohydrate food recipes, as I have grown a little bored with broiled meats, fish, omelettes and plain salad.
I bought an Atkins' recipe book, and wanting more variety, I also picked up a copy of Dana Carpender's "15 Minute Low Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes For Dinners, Desserts and More." This book is wonderful - great meals, lunches and snacks in a jiffy. Many of the recipes call for inexpensive ingredients, which is great considering the expense of a high protein diet. Meat, fish and shellfish aren't cheap. Her skillet dinners are excellent. I have tried nine of the recipes so far and the results have been delicious. The meals have been easy to prepare and Ms. Carpender's tips and shortcuts cut down preparation time considerably.
I find that I am using this cookbook more than my Atkins book. There is so much variety that meals have become less boring. While losing weight is difficult, variety and food that tastes good make the process less painful. I highly recommend this compilation of creative, effortless low carbohydrate recipes.

My new favorite cookbook
24 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So far we have tried 6 of the recipes from the new 15 Minute Low-Carb Recipe Cookbook and I have 3 more to try this week -- and as all of them have been "keepers" so far, I know that the others will be also.
It is great to have quick and easy recipes that have fantastic flavor that the whole family can enjoy. And having almost all of the ingredients in my pantry or freezer already is a real bonus.
This is my third book of Dana's and I know I will be buying any new one she comes out with as well.
