Review: Got it when it was free so two stars instead of one

I'm not really sure what program this book is for, but it ain't for Atkins unless you're in phases 3 and 4. Some recipes aren't for Atkins followers regardless of phase. Atkins recipes shouldn't be calling for panko breadcrumbs, maple syrup or corn starch.But I should have known that the author wasn't too aware of what she's doing when she stated that proteins sometimes have higher calories than carbohydrates. WHAT??? All carbohydrates and all proteins have 4 calories per gram. There are no 'special' proteins which have more than that. Big tip off that this woman has no clue what she's talking about, but hey, I got this book when it was free, so...I'm willing to go a little easy on someone who worked out a way to make a little extra money doing little to no work from home. I've certainly never seen any Atkins cookbook not state which phase each recipe could be used for. Which ones are induction friendly? Which ones can help break through a stall? Which ones are only suitable for phase 4 or risk gaining back weight? Because I guarantee some of these recipes will knock real Atkins followers right out of ketosis.This is not an Atkins cookbook. This is someone who wanted to write a low carb cookbook and used the Atkins name to improve search engine results. Do not waste your money. If you can't get it for free, buy a cookbook from a real Atkins cook/chef.
