Inspired by his wife"s example following a well-known diet, Henry devised his own high protein, low carbohydrate regime with recipes that are both healthy and designed for food lovers. Within four months he had lost 28 poounds and was feeling healthier and more energetic, while still enjoying the foods he loved. The particular genius of his recipes is in the clever ways he finds of replacing — or living without — the carbohydrates traditionally paired with favorite proteins. As well as the more obvious chapters on meat, fish, salads and vegetables, etc., Henry provides help for the dieter where it is really needed, with selections on breakfasts, snacks, and quick easy dishes. There are also complete menus for entertaining.
