(More customer reviews)Having been on low-carbs for several years, I was certain that there was no way to actuallysatisfy my sweet tooth, much less make some of my favorite desserts like the ones I have found in this book.Granted, the cookies aren't Milanos but the Macadamia Fudge had everyone at my party asking for the recipe.I love this book.I especially like the fact that the author tries to use healthy ingredients because that is essential in anything I give to my children. My latest family favorites are the strawberry pie and the cheesecake is soul satisfying.Ikeep trying new recipes and delighting my family, friends and myself.If you or your kids are raised on Twinkies, these recipes will take some getting used to.

Product Description:
Imagine being on a diet and starting the day with a pecan waffle, snacking on Macadamia Fudge and finishing dinner with Chocolate Crème Brulee-- and still staying on a low-carb, healthy and slimming routine.
Impossible?
Not since the release of the revolutionary new cookbook "Low-Carb Sweets and The Art of Self-Indulgence" by Sharon Allbright.
This author spent four year of research to break the "deprivation-barrier" of low-carb dieting and managed to eliminate sugar and flour by replacing them with delicious, health-building ingredients.
The former health columnist came up with more than 80 groundbreakingdesserts to "diet for." The best news is that these indulgencesare not only delicious, but also high in protein, rich in fiber andcontain less than five grams of carbohydrates.This is anextraordinary feat, considering that a regular piece of chocolate cakecan contain as many as 60 grams of carbohydrates.
The 216 pages of sweet creations range from waffles to pies and contain not a smidgeon of ingredients that cause sugar binges or weight gain.Some of these recipes have even been tested by diabetics who were delighted to report that the treats didn't raise their blood sugar levels.
The "Zero Carb Waffle" is a "breakfast wonder" with more protein than two eggs and boosts your fiber intake beyond that of two pieces of whole-wheat toast.
According to the author, "These recipes are not only simple to make but also time friendly."In fact, the Macadamia Fudge can be put together in less than five minutes, in case of an emergency "chocoholic attack!"
This project has been a long labor of love for Allbright, who confesses, "I love sweets-- but eating old-fashioned flour and sugar-filled desserts caused uncontrollable binges, blood sugar plunges and of course, weight gain."
The second segment of this unique book, "The Art of Self Indulgence," came to light through the author's experiences with this seemingly utopian eating style."It turns out that years of dieting can make one feel guilty eating sweets-- healthy or not," reports the new "Queen of Low Carbs"
Tips on breaking barriers of self-denial make this not only a soul-satisfying cookbook, but also a plan that can transform dieting to a "sweeter way of life."
