The Balanced Diet Cookbook has recipes that the entire family will like. I am so tired of cooking two separate dinners at mealtime. A dinner for my 40-30-30 diet and a dinner the rest of the family will eat. These recipes have received rave reviews from my family who generally will not eat “my diet food.”

I was happy to find this book as I wanted some fresh ideas to incorporate into my “balanced” diet; however, I found that many, if not most, of the recipes called for ingredient(s) with a higher glycemic index. Of course I use some “unfavorable” carbs in my cooking from time to time but I think a serving that consists of one-quarter of a bagel is just silly and I’d find something altogether different to eat. The bagel is just one example, there are many more recipes that call for rice and bread and the like.

My doctor recently pronounced that my eating, although considered healthy for many years, no longer suited my “older” metabolism. As I searched for advice on changing from a high carbohydrate diet based on my years of physical exercise to low carb, I found myself confused and dismayed. The 40-30-30 philosophy led me to Bill Taylor’s cookbook. My family loves the recipes, and his bits of advice are understandable. I highly recommend this book if you are stuck on delicious meals in the 40-30-30 way of eating.

The recipes helped me get started eating in the Zone. I found most of them to be basic, down to earth, easy to use recipes. The only improvement would be an index for the recipes.

I agree it’s too bad there’s no index in this terrific cookbook, but don’t blame the author! As a publishing executive, I can say that it is not the author who decides whether to include an index, but the publisher, unless, of course, the book is self-published (which this is not).
Please do yourself a favor and order this book…it’s great.
