Drawing on their experiences as award-winning cookbook authors, Eckhardt and DeFoyd have developed a tempting range of high-protein meals that are quick enough to make on a weeknight but elegant enough to share with guests -- and so delicious they'll never know they've been shortchanged on carbohyd rates, fat, and calories.

Both authors lost more than 25 pounds after following a diet that limited carbohydrates while boosting their intake of lean protein. They believe in preparing varied, interesting meals that everyone in the household will enjoy, thereby eliminating the need to prepare one meal for yourself, and another for family members. These recipes adhere to strict nutritional guidelines—that is, no more than 15 grams of carbohydrate per meal, and a daily caloric intake that hovers around 1,500. The quantities of protein are reasonable, around 3-4 ounces of red meat and up to 6 ounces of fish per meal. Preparation times are clearly identified along with cooking times for each recipe. All serve two people, but could be easily modified for more servings. Nutritional analysis for each recipe provides the following: calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, cholesterol, iron, sodium and calcium. The recipes are truly gourmet without all the frills, fuss and high calories: for example, Veal Cutlets in a Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar Sauce, Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Broccoli Rabe, Curried Shrimp on Caramelized Onions, Pork Tenderloins with Orange Sections and Brussel Sprout Strips. A separate chapter features additional dishes that round out the menu, such as Wilted Escarole and Bacon Slaw, and Broccoli and Spinach with Ricotta Cheese. A separate chapter includes recipes for vinaigrettes, dressings, dry rubs and marinades, which provide variety for the featured recipes. Several deserts are even included for those times that you truly need an indulgence. This is one cookbook that will be used over and over again.
