The Fast Metabolism Diet Cookbook: Eat Even More Food and Lose Even More Weight

There are many popular diets these days. The Fast Metabolism Diet is one that is pretty popular at the moment, so there should be a lot of interest in a good cookbook for those using the plan. The book has a good introduction to the diet along with a guide and rules in the first chapter. This is followed by guides to portion sizes, food swaps, and freezing and crocking as well as FAQs and meal planning. Of course, recipes make up the bulk of the book. There are recipes for all meals, snacks, smoothies/beverages, dips and dressing, and desserts with the largest sections being for dinners and lunches. There is a nice section of four-color photos of the dishes. Some recipes are pretty nice, but some are so simplistic one must wonder why they are taking up space where more interesting, complex recipes could be. For instance, Hard-Boiled Egg Whites Stuffed with Minced Veggies is, well, hard-boiled eggs with discarded yolks and some minced veggies. That doesn’t need a whole page. The appendices are quite useful with a master food list, sample meal maps, blank meal maps, and more. Many will find this useful.
