Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Dr Phil fans should be delighted with The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook a collection of more than 100 recipes that complement his bestselling Ultimate Weight Solution and are said 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 per 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 chilli. 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, fibre, sugars and sodium. Most recipes seem heavy on meat and light on vegetables, however. --Joan Price, Amazon.com

I am a HUGE Dr Phil fan but this cookbook was a HUGE disappointment. Nearly all of the recipes all for "fat free" ingredients which are just plastic food not to mention impossible to find in the UK. I would have preferred for the cookbook to call for fresh ingredients and do the fat-free part naturally. The recipes which I did try were horrible. Weight watchers does a much better collection of low fat low cal recipes all with fresh ingredients and they taste fabulous.

I was dissapointed with this book . I am a regular viewer of the Dr phil show and as such was looking forward to this book and the recipies in it . However the book is very Americanised and the ingredients impossible to find. Fat free cheese , certin American brand of foods that have no comparrison over here. It is a pity that the book could not of had a European addition .

Phil, Larry and Clint Changed My Life
30 May 2004
Format:Hardcover
I was watching Larry King some weeks ago and saw Dr. Phil on there talking about this cook-book of his, and it seemed like what he was saying made a lot of sense, so I gave it a try -- and I'd be darned if it didn't work just as great as he said it would.
The foods he had in the book were delicious, and they were satsifying too. It became a whole new way of eating for me -- eating healthy foods that won't make me keep tipping the scale. (...)

I BELIEVE in Dr Phil~~~~
1 Jun 2004
Format:Hardcover
Thats why I bought his new cookbook. The recipes are GREAT--my family LOVED the banana creme pie!!! His advice makes sense, he has helped many many people lose the weight they have carried for many years. His plan is easy to follow, its healthy and should be followed the rest of your life. I do NOT believe in the Atkins plan, WW is too bothersome to have to weigh everything and write it all down, the low carb thing is just a fad, Dr Phil is just plain common sense. I highly recommend anything that he puts out!!

A Helpful Follow Up
2 Jun 2004
Format:Hardcover
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.
