content: I believe this book is full of padding,- there are indeed a lot of recipes in the book but frankly they aren't very good and they do not inspire me to stay on the Low Carb way of life. The recipes are simple but to my mind the taste is just not good enough. The chili doesn't have any cumin in it which I regard as essential for this dish. My favorite book in this category is "Carb-less in Seattle," which has the best pasta, pastry and bread I have encountered. And no padding!
