I liked this book, but only wish it had more recipes to try. Good ideas and a good base to follow for meals. I don't eat Salmon, but like many books, there are plenty of meals with Salmon or some type of fish. However, the author does include an assortment of meals. Would recommend for a guideline on how to start the diet.

I found the recipes and guidance to be too simplistic in this little book, but then again, maybe that is the idea. :-)

If you buy only one of the Abs Diet books, this isn't a bad one. It does goes into the diet for about a third of the book, so you don't really need the other books as far as that goes. It also has some ideas for menus as well as some exercises you can do at home. I do like the conversion chart he has in the back of the book for overseas readers, as it has not only oven temps and weight conversions, but also pan size conversions. Very useful if you like to collect recipes from other countries.

Most of the recipes are easy to prepare, but a good number of them really should have been written in "basic recipe with variations" format because that's what they are (the smoothies being but one example). Would have made for a much smaller book though, and this is only 6.5 by 6.5" with a lot of margin space to start with.

His overall writing style is somewhat annoying, especially the recipe titles, since often they give the reader no clue as to the ingredients required. Also, why he prefers instant oatmeal to say, rolled oats, is baffling (my guess is that "instant" fit in with his Abs Diet acronym). You can pulverize rolled oats in a blender or spice grinder just as easily.

If you already have any of the other Abs Diet books, check this out of the library first to see if there's enough new info before you buy it.

3.5 stars

I have really enjoyed this cookbook. It has a variety of different meals to cook on this diet. The only thing that lacks is the time that it takes to cook the meals. I know it says 6 mins but actuality it is more like 10-15 minutes.

This books simply seems like another way to make money using the Abs Diet label. The original book was great and even the follow-up but this adds very little -- maybe a couple of new recipes here and there. I did not need all the information about the Abs Diet all over again -- I just needed recipes -- very disappointing. Next time, I'll check something out at the library first because I never would have purchased this book if I had seen it first.

This might be a really good book - but who can tell? I bought the Kindle edition and it's nearly impossible to read any of the lists, charts, etc. and the font size of said lists can't be altered. If you want this book... do yourself a favor and consider buying the actual book instead of the Kindle edition!

This is the first Abs Diet book that disappointed me. I am excited to have finally found a diet that is practical and healthy, and was looking forward to a cookbook filled with great ideas for new recipies. What this is, however, is a recap of the entire Abs Diet for the first half of the book, and then a few recipies with a whole lot of variations. Many recipies are virtually identical with only one or two ingredients changed. I found nothing new that wasn't in the original books. If you would never have thought to substitute raspberries for blueberries, then you might find this book helpful. But for those of us who love to cook, (thus leading to a need for the Abs Diet...) there is nothing really helpful or new.

One of the best book for Abs Diet I have ever read! Everyone should read this book!

These are simple recipes for simple meals. If you're following the diet, it is generally low on sugar and simple carbs, and higher on the protein than what most people probably eat, if left to their own devices. If you buy organic products as much as possible, it's a pretty healthy diet- vitamins and anti-oxidants from lots of vegetables, and protein from various sources. I've been on this diet for nine months and I've lost thirty-two pounds. My wife and daughter like the stry-fry entrees. It's the first time in my life I've ever been on a diet and it wasn't easy, but my blood pressure and cholesterol profile are excellent now. What's not to like?

I have other Abs Diet books and this one provided exactly what I was looking for to supplement those. I was looking for more great recipes and that is what it provided. The only disappointment is that all of the Abs Diet books repeat all of the same information about how the diet works...this takes up alot of the book. Overall, though, I would recommend the book and am pleased with the purchase.

Whether your looking for a reference book or a guide to a healthier book, this is highly recommended.

A really great book to incorporate into your life. Diets are not a way to live, but changing your lifestyle as well as integrating a fitness regime will lead to a happier and healthier life. A wonderful meal planning device to start on a new path of eating.

This author really has a handle on what to avoid eating, and tells about the foods you can eat all you want. A positive approach to better health by eating good and healthful food, not "going on a diet". Just get rid of all the bad stuff in your kitchen, add the good, and better health will happen.

If you are on the ABS PROGRAM you will love these recipes. They are so easy inexpensive and take usually less than a half hour from start to finish. I find shopping easier and ABsolutely love this book! I love the DVD too! The SMOOTHIES are yummy so if you need more ideas the tasty recipes in this book will help curb some of the cravings you will have!

The first part of this book is a repeat of the info contained in the Abs Diet book. The recipes are okay. There are a lot of smoothies, egg dishes, and various recipes for various meat dishes. I'd check the book out from your local library before I spent money on it.

I relished parts of this book. They were most entertaining. However, the total book was a letdown. I didn;t get it in its entirely.

I enjoyed the "trees" but whenit camer to the "forest" the big picture was lacking.

O.K., the recipe's are not what you would find in your typical recipe book, but they're nutritious, filling, & pretty yummy- Not at all like a traditional diet book. This diet has elements of Atkins, but adds food that is forbidden in Atkins. High protein, high fiber, low carbs, low sugar. It's only been 2 days, but I already feel healthier. Don't look at the scale right away. Mine showed an immediate gain of 2 lbs., but this is real food, not diet food. It takes a while to be processed. I've done Atkins with the same initial experience. You should notice the initial difference in the looser feel of your clothes. 5 STARS!!!

Great supplement to the Abs Mens or Womens book. It gives more food options and tips.

This book has a wonderful variety of meals. My husband and I double and triple some recipes in order not to cook everyday. So far we have tried over 6 recipes and they have all been delicious. I honestly feel that we are sticking to our healthy eating because of having abs diet dinners to look forward to everyday.

Variety is the key to longevity. The original Abs Diet book was great as a starter but something else was desperately needed, at least for me, to keep from having to spend too much time that wasnt available in the kitchen preparing the foods beforehand. The smoothies were great for a while, but eventually even they became so repetitive that I was beginning to lose my taste for them. I even ran out of inventive recipes for the smoothies.

Just when the diet itself was getting to me, this book came out. The simplicity of the recipes reminded me of how much of a cook i am not. This book addresses both of my previous problems. First, it revamped the variety I once found in the foods recommened; Second, it provided me with many recipes that I could string together in a pinch.

This book was just the thing I needed to keep to this great diet plan for life. The Abs Diet Resturant Guide is great as well, but you really arent eating that healthy whenever you eat out and stapling this diet around that book means that you have to spend more TIME lifting or doing cardio to balance it all out.

To reiterate, this book along with the Abs Diet (and even the Abs Diet Resturant Guide when you get caught having to go out) is everything you need to stick to the regiment required to keep you lean from life and hopefully free of biological deficiencies (diabetes and the like). Do yourself a favor and work now to save your life later.

I have all the Abs diet books. This is helpful, but has much of the same info as the other books. I would have liked to see all recipes and not so much info.

The Abs Diet 6-Minute Meals for 6-Pack Abs: More Than 150 Great-Tasting Recipes to Melt Away Fat! This book is great with the healthy eating, fat reducing meals for every day and with so many varieties.

I was sort of skeptical when I started this plan - 4 days ago. But after only a few days of following the diet and using the (delicious!) recipes in this book I feel like a new person. My energy is up, and I am enjoying eating 6 times a day! The best part is that the food is all so tasty - and quick to make! You don't feel like you are dieting at all. The only drawback is that your intial shopping trip may seem a bit pricey - but when I thought about the $10 salads loaded with fat and calories that I was eating everyday I realized I'm actually saving money. Oh, and I've already lost 3 lbs!

Now that I have the book will have to spend some time developing the necessary will power!

This book, which ties in with the Abs Diet, contains quick, easy and tasty recipes, some of which are quite innovative.

This is such a fantastic cook book! I love it. Do yourself a favor and buy your copy today. You will be glad you did. Another enlightening book I read is called the T_r_u_t_h about C_a_f_f_e_i_n_e. After finishing it last night I woke up the next day and made an important decision. I decided that I did not like how coffee made me feel or what it could do to my fertility, and that was the end of a decade-long love affair with coffee. I told my body that it was free of all chemical addictions and that it would feel healthy and balanced without it. It worked.

The food is quick, easy and full of flavor. The thing I don't like is he relies heavily on the microwave. I prefer to cook on the stove or grill. Great for the person short on time who wants to eat healthy.

I have bought many diet books, and this is my favorite, because is easy to follow, the foods are easy to prepare. I lose four pounds in two weeks.
I have been working out for years, but the food intake is the most important factor in losing weight. It does not matter if you workout 2 hours a day if eat too much. This book is great at teaching what types of foods are good for you and what to avoid.

My boyfriend and I love this book. it's got some great ideas for dinnertime. We love the 'not so sloppy joe'!!! yummy, filling, and healthy.

This book has everything from advice on healthy eating to tons of actual recipes that are quick, easy, healthy and DELICIOUS! I base meals on it all the time.

I found this the most useful of all the Abs Diet books. Great information, easy meals and they are actually pretty tasty. I'm giving as gifts to friends who are trying to eat better.

The recipes in this book are fantastic. Why? Because you can make them fast and they taste DELICIOUS. They don't taste like other "diet" meals. They fill you up and satisfy you at the same time. This book helped me lose 10 lbs just by changing eating habits (and exercising).

You can't go wrong with the abs diet. It's not really a diet, but more of eating food that's good for you. All the recipes are laid out for you, and it's all straight forward. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to the abs diet and a little exercise every week.

This is such a fantastic cook book! I love it. Do yourself a favor and buy your copy today. You will be glad you did.

The Truth About Caffeine: How Companies That Promote It Deceive Us and What We Can Do about It

This latest book in the Abs Diet franchise is essentially another recipe book. As the title indicates, these are quickie recipes that can be made in minutes, though they throw in a few more involved meals at the end. Be clear, these are tasty and healthful recipes aimed at the fitness-oriented individual. You don't have to necessarily be following the Abs Diet plan per se, but anyone who has adopted a weightlifting + aerobics exercise program with a high-protein, controlled-carb and controlled-fat diet will find this book has what you're looking for, especially if you want meals you can make quickly and stick into a tupperware container to eat throughout the day.

Most of the recipes are not fancy, and many are quite obvious, being nothing more than various ways to combine ingredients to make a dozen versions of sandwiches, salads, breakfast omelettes, smoothies, etc. But as simple as they are, some of the combos just wouldn't have occurred to me on my own, but when I tried them, they were quite tasty! (Example: Brown rice mixed with black beans, heat, put a fried egg on top, and spoon some salsa over it. Simple, easy, and a great filling breakfast that can easily be put in a plastic container and microwaved at the office.)

This isn't a cookbook for entertaining guests with or preparing meals for a potluck. The recipes aren't fancy and someone not dedicated to eating and living like this might find them a bit plain. I find them nourishing and filling and they've added to my reportoire, so when I prepare the 5-6 meals I eat every day, I always have a decent variety to choose from. The "Abs Diet Eat Right Every Time Guide" also contains a lot of good recipes to choose from. This book is a good companion to that one.

Handy book with lots of recipes that keep you on the Abs Diet. Very useful and straightforward. Could be a little better organized, but overall it's a great tool for shedding body fat.

This is the perfect companion for the "The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life" Book, and "The ABS Diet Eat right Everytime Guide". Buy this book only if you at least have read the first "ABS Diet" Book.

This book is dedicated to recipes that complement the eating strategies outlined in The Abs Diet Book. This will make your life easier, by providing quick and easy to prepare recipes that help you burn belly fat.

You eat more frequently, you eat consciously, and you exercise. It works !!! This plan keeps your metabolism at maximum speed all day long. I eat more than I ever ate before, and I have been able to keep in good shape.

If you follow the authors advices in their different ABS Diet Books you get amazing and most wanted results I was able to lost more than 200 lbs, and also I have been able to keep in shape for more than two years. I am in the best shape of my life thanks to The ABS Diet. I went from size 44 to size 32 pants.

The really important thing for me is not just that you will look great, but that you will feel great and that you will be healthier than ever.

Don't take my word, try the ABS diet and I am sure that you will get the results that you expect. Just stay in the plant until it becomes habit. !!!

Another tools you may want to consider, to complement this book and your strategies for boosting your metabolism, loosing weight, and even more important keeping that weight off are:

- A Body Fat Monitor or Scale. This will help you monitor your progress, to assure that the weight you are loosing is fat (fat lost = increased metabolism) and not muscle, water or bone mass (decreased metabolism).
- "Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss", which is another very practical, readable and insightful book, focused on how to boost your metabolism.
- A Heart Rate Monitor Wrist Watch. This is an excellent tool that will help you monitor and control your Heart Rate in order to keep yourself in a burning fat state (increased metabolism).
- "The Hard Body Guide". Excellent strategies, programs and workouts, aimed to increase your muscle mass.

If you are focus only on your diet, the first two may be worth considering. If you exercise, or want to start doing it right, the last two are for you. If you do both, all the four recommended options can improve your results.

I purchased this book as a follow-up to the "The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life", solely for the recipes. If your focus is on losing weight (and not necessarily exercise) this is an excellent book.
If you are looking to exercise (or already do) this book is perfect for managing your diet.
