cook book weight loss plan
SAVE YOUR MONEY. The recipes in this book are ALL very complicated, calling for things that we do not ordinarily stock in our kitchens. I was hoping for a simple 21 day meal plan that used things most of us keep in our kitchens. This is NOT THE CASE with this book. I looked through every page and found nothing that I could use without going out and buying all kinds of stuff I won't use again to cook. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Grateful!
Try to complete your meal with whole grains. Choose legumes and beans. They will be useful for your heart. I purchase this guide from Amazon. In here added many essential recipes content step by step. The Author well writes it. I want to thanks for the Author. Don’t forget about protein, a vital muscle-builder. It’s essential in the first part of the day. Grateful!

Be warned: Expensive single use ingredients little to no proofing and an unrealistic meal plan.
I enjoyed the taste of these recipes, but there were huge problems for me:The first, and worst in my opinion is Expensive single use ingredients.When meal planning is such a selling point for a book you would think most the ingredients could be used at least 3 times. Some of the examples i could provide were within WEEK ONE includes saffron, olive tapenade and pine nuts??? I realized from the recipes containing salmon the meals were not going to be cheap, but i didn't expect it to ask me to buy a 20$ spice for a simple shrimp and rice dish.Second Gripe poor proofing/editingAt the beginning of each week it provides a meals of the week layout, it looks like it was done fast without any proofing. it has a its breakfast and lunch squished together in the "breakfast" for day 2, has the dinner in the "lunch" section and the snake (just some tomatoes) in the dinner section. When i first noticed the mistake i thought "how is telling me to just gobble down some tomatoes a dinner???"A second instance of poor proofing/editing is a dish that required rosemary did not list it in the ingredients(i triple checked) the list includes other spices like mustard and oregano, but only when reading the actual prep does it say you need rosemary.Overall i give it a 2 out of 5 because while i did enjoy the recipes i tried this book did not deliver a realistic guide for a meal plan. It failed to deliver on the aspect that really sold me on this book.

Great recipes and beautiful pictures
This recipe book plans out all your meals for you, including snacks, for 3 weeks and presents lovely pictures and easy-to-follow recipes. This is a great find!

So poorly written I almost couldn't make it to the recipes
Poorly written.It's claims are unsubstantiated and contradictory.A shopping list by week would have been very helpful. I liked that it tried to use similar ingredients through the week in different dishes, but without the shopping list I had to go through each recipe individually and add up every thing I needed to buy

Nope, not for me
Wow just wow. This thing looked like someone printed it at home. Recipes sucked. Many ingredients NOT clean. Shipped it back.

Lots of duplicated recipes
Bit of a rip off. I was so excited about this book as I had read a couple of the recipes in the pre purchase review. When I received it I find a large number of the recipes are replicated over the 21 day period. Also some recipes are practically identical, i.e. Grilled chicken with rosemary, rosemary rosemary chicken and boiled chicken with ....of course rosemary. Also pictures in back and while and even spelling mistakes... very poor I would not recommend,,,,

I'm disappointed
I'm disappointed. I know there has to be a cookbook out there that doesn't want me to eat _____ ____ fish of any kind. I absolutely hate fish and get so frustrated because all diets think that it's the best thing for you when there's plenty of other low cal meats out there. Want Omega 3 take a flipping pill.

Disappointed
From the other positive reviews I had expectations that this would be better than it is - it's a great concept. I don't mind that it's a relatively poor quality print, or even that the black and white photos make it hard to see the dishes, but it hasn't been edited well, includes typos and some factual errors. There is a 3 week plan but some of the meals are repeated, including a repeat of the whole recipe, which seems a swindle. Most of the recipes are extremely simple and the front cover does say 'for beginners'. It really is. There's a calorie list at the back which includes some bizarre things like egg nog and slurpee drinks, but no sign of this info for essentials like olive oil or any fats. This book is well overpriced. If it had been £5 (instead of nearly £10) I could have accepted it. If I hadn't foolishly turned down the corners on a few pages as I was first reading it, I would have returned it. I'm reverting to my Michael Mosely and Rupy Aujila books - much better value.
