I enjoyed reading Dr. Gotts book. It explains why we should omit flour and sugar from our diet and the benefits we get from doing so. Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook recipes include a wide variety from breakfast to desserts. My one criticism is the large amounts of artificial sweetener in many of the recipes. I would not use a lot of sweetener in the recipes myself, but I can understand why he included them in this book. I think this book could help us change our lives.

This review is from: Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar(TM) Cookbook (Hardcover)
Time and time again I have asked my doctor for a magic pill to help me lose weight. I have tried every diet on the market. I might lose weight short term but it always comes back -plus. Of course, we all know there is no magic pill; it takes will power, commitment, and a plan. In 2006, Dr. Peter H. Gott offered readers a plan to lose weight in his book Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet. His latest book offers inexpensive and delicious recipes to support his diet.
Gott begins this book by answering question from his readers. One of the points I thought very important was to get rid of all flour and sugar products in your pantry. Another important point is to be prepared for special events. The Glycemic Index has always sounded confusing; however, Dr. Gott uses laymen’s terms to explain it.
Cooking is one of my hobbies so I was eager to try the recipes. The first one I tried was Spicy Scrambled Eggs. The eggs are delicious and healthy. The recipe makes just the right amount for two people. The next one I tried was the Orange Smoothie; it serves two and is delicious. As in most cookbooks, you will find some you love and some you will not. The Tasty Chicken Wraps were a hit but the Mediterranean Bean Wrap was not. This is a good cookbook. The recipes are simple and user-friendly. Rush out and buy this cookbook for a healthier life and delicious eating.

I wasn’t sure if I needed both books about the no sugar no flour diet. This book gives you recipes as well as info on the actual diet. You can skip the first book and just get this one and be just as informed.

The no flour diet is good for people who are gluten
intolerant. The no sugar diet is good for pre-diabetics.
A beauty of the work is that the author provides a
plethora of meal choices together with the applicable
recipes. Doing without sugar and wheat may help with
controlling internal inflammation so that the metabolism
can operate optimally to burn fat. The author is short on
the medical specifics of this regimen, although I know
the wisdom of this book from personal/practical experience.
Food pointers are contained throughout. For instance, olive
oil may be sprayed onto food. Saccharine, splenda, stavia and
neotame are classic sugar substitutes. Green or white tea
is an optimal drink, as opposed to canned soda (diet or
otherwise ). No-fat yogurt is an optimal carb with a
very low glycemic index.
Snacks may be made from natural fruits and nut bars containing
chopped dates, figs, walnuts, cinnamon and other healthful
choices. Salads may be peppered with seeds, spinach, cran, raisin,
bacon, bits, kidney beans, grapefruit segments and cucumber.
The diet regimen is sound advice based upon my experience; however,
extensive medical references seem to be absent. Nonetheless,
the book will assist in eliminating foods that retard the
metabolic processes. For this reason alone, the book is worth
purchasing.

This cookbook provides good recipes for healthy eating. As my husband and I are trying to cut down on white flour and sugar in our diets, I’ve used this cookbook several times to try new recipes. One recipe–for a spicy cornbread using corn meal and oatmeal is quite good, and I’ll make it again.

I had never heard of Dr. Gott’s no flour, no sugar diet when I first found this cookbook. I must admit that I was instantly skeptical when I saw the title….no flour and no sugar? Would it be possible to make edible food without these two supposedly essential ingredients? As I began to flip through the recipes, my skepticism started to wane. Breakfast Apple Pie? Sounds appealing. Faux Spaghetti? Intriguing. Mandarin Mousse? Fabulous!
I instantly headed toward the kitchen to try some of the recipes. My first endeavor was the eggs in nests. What a great snack and super easy to make! Further tries on the recipes were just as easy and just as tasty. I was won over in just a few recipes. This book gives you recipes that are easy to make, full of flavor, and plentiful enough that you can eat from this plan quite regularly, if not full time. My one complaint is that there are a ton of seafood-based recipes in the book. If you are not a fan of seafood, you will have some challenges with variety in this diet.
One of the best features of the book is that it goes beyond just the recipes. Dr. Gott’s diet is encapsulated in a few introductory chapters and gives a good overview of why a sugar and flour free diet is beneficial. It also gives tips and tricks for surviving the world outside your kitchen, avoid the yo-yo diet pitfalls, and how border line foods such as alcohol and chocolate should be dealt with. It helps take all the great recipes and fit them into a healthy and well-rounded diet.
Chock full of easy-to-make recipes that taste great, this book will be great for anyone looking to enjoy a healthy diet and limit their flour and sugar intake.
