Harriet Roth's Cholesterol Control Cookbook: Lose Weight and Lower Your Cholesterol Paperback – Illustrated, June 4, 2008

Yes.. I love the healthy recipe's in this great book with great information why we need to be careful! I appreciate that the book was in perfect condition receiving it!Thank you... Laura

Great book - up to date and plenty of useful information! Great recipes for reducing cholesterol! Very tasty for anybody - any day!

This book is almost 10 years old, and some of the dietary guidelines have changed since then. Many of the recipes rely on synthetic sweeteners, which have their own disadvantages. There may be a few recipes that I will use from this book, but for someone who is just looking to modify the diet, there are too many rules here for me. It seems like replacing one bad thing for a lot of synthetic products. I hope it is good for someone who needs to make a dramatic change in lifestyle, but I am not going to do 2 weeks where I have to eat everything, (no skipping even a snack) of a planned menu. Sorry, just not for me.

I have to wonder when this book was originally written or, more importantly, from what time period these recipes are from. I leafed through the entire book and all I found were old, boring receipes.The use, or lack thereof, of the latest healthy ingredients is a giveaway to the age of the recipes. These recipes lacked such ingredients. They might be good for cholesterol control but these were definitely not recipes I could get excited about using.Look for something more up-to-date.

A weather information and receipts for your health

This is a great cook book for those looking for good suggestions and recipes for lowing cholesterol as well as losing weight.The book begins with a two week diet (eating 6 times a day) to get you going.The recipes are easy to make and tastey. You don't have to give up flavor for low cholesterol eating.

Great cookbook with excellent recipes and good info.

After looking at several different books aimed at helping people reduce their cholesterol, this is my favorite thus far. It has an introductory section on cholesterol and how it affects you -- enough info if you are uninformed but not over the top with the science of it. Then Roth has a "jump start" diet plan that I like very much so far -- breakfasts are pretty much set, but the lunches and dinners are flexible to adjust for the types of veggies and fruits you personally like, as do the snacks. It is easy to follow and reasonable in what it is asking you to do/change for the two weeks Roth recommends that you are on it. This in particular made the book stand out from other books of this type. Then Roth features a "maintenance" diet that is meant to be a long-term lifestyle change for a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. It too is reasonable. Both sections are accompanied by recipes. (At this point, I have only tried the muffin recipe, which is great).And let me say now that the thought of all of the oat bran and oat meal may seem overwhelming, but the portion sizes might surprise you, and will, most likely, fill you up. The muffins Roth recommends are excellent (although I added a little more applesauce because they were a little dry for me). I also found that the muffin recipe bakes up fine when I put it in two muffin loaf pans - I just cut each loaf so that I have the 12 portions the recipe makes. (Also makes them easier to freeze, as they are flat pieces).In summary, I have read multiple books on lowering cholesterol and low-cholesterol diets, and this is my favorite thus far. I actually got it from my library, but like it so much that I am purchasing. Contains good diet plans, recipes, and solid advice. A keeper!
