    Save your money!1
    Those who gave this a good review must not have tried any of the recipes.

    The book title says extreme lo-carb meals on the go. It is none of these things.

    A lot of the recipes contain low carb breads, pastas and tortillas which is fine if you have no weight to lose.

    The book promises fast recipes but tells you in the introduction that to the author fast means that the recipes can be cooked in less than an hour. Many of the recipes require that you prep ingredients in advance, the author calls "make ahead".

    Many of the recipes call for expensive, hard to find substitutions for sugar, wheat, and syrups.

    The only good recipes in the book, which were few and far between, I already had from free, online, low carb sites. (I saw two recipes out of the whole book that I would try and already had seen them online.)

    A huge disappointment and I was very excited by the reveiws given so I thought this would be a good resource for me.

    Save your money. Search online for the same recipes without the expensive ingredient substitutes.

    A workhorse of a cookbook!5
    What I really enjoy about this cook book is the simplicity of some of the recipes. It makes you wish you had thought of them. Many do ahead tips that will get you out of the kitchen fast with a meal that seems to have taken far longer to prepare

    The best book for the money out there5
    This is a great little book at a very reasonable price. It is full of helpful hints and quick recipes that should appeal to a wide range of tastes. Most ingredients are common to the lo-carb kitchen, or would be fairly easy to obtain. The sweeteners Sharron uses are Splenda packets, SteviaPlus and Sweet & Slender (luo han guo) which are my three favorite sweeteners.
