Unless you opted for a light dessert last night, chances are that you might want to cut back a bit to make up for the chocolates, cheesecake and/or creme brulee that you may have indulged in. Cutting a few calories doesn't mean that you have to stick with salads and Dana Carpender's Every Calorie Counts Cookbook: 500 Great-Tasting, Sugar-Free, Low-Calorie Recipes that the Whole Family Will Love is a book that is based around that philosophy and strives to provide a wide range of recipes that will appeal to a wide variety of tastes. It uses healthy fats and whole grains, avoiding sugar and other "bad" carbs, to make every meal as healthy (but still flavorful) as possible, from party snacks to dinner to drinks and desserts. You don't have to be "low carb" in general to appreciate the book, though. The important thing to note here is that with 500 recipes, it is quite easy to use it to slightly modify your standard diet, lightening up meals when you want to cut back and providing healthy alternatives to some of your more fattening favorites. Recipes include Broccoli Soup with Almonds, Coconut Curried Chicken, Mixed Greens Salad with Goat Cheese and Olives, Cornmeal Waffles and Fried Peaches.Dana Carpender's Every Calorie Counts Cookbook, Cookbook of the Day

This is a great cookbook, even for those not following a low carb diet. I have several of her other books and love the style of writing and ease of use.
I don't think most people realize how easy it is to improve their health by changing their diets in small, yet significant ways. Lowering my sugar/starch load has drastically improved my blood test numbers in all areas.
I would enthusiastically encourage everyone to give this cookbook and its author at least an open mind and ear. Life Changing!
