It gives the calories on every recipe but not the serving size. I am returning the cookbook.

If more had purchased this book, Cruz would have hired professionals instead of homeless people, and he’d still be free. So, on behalf of society, let me thank everyone for not buying this book, so this deranged psychopath is behind bars where he belongs. Well done!

Juan Carlos Cruz’s “Calorie Countdown” cookbook traces the Food Network has-been’s battle with his weight, and how he overcame it through “sustainable eating. ” Cutting calories has become a fetish among those losing weight, when there’s more to it than that. Is it any coincidence that the fixation on low fat diets and low fat foods has worked in tandem with the rise in obesity? Cruz shares his heartfelt tale of ballooning to 300 pounds through constant consumption of pastries at the Hotel Bel Air, and how he tried to lose extra weight by hiring some homeless guys. (When I first saw this book at a bookstore, this cover, with Cruz’s vacant emotionless eyes, freaked me out,and then suddenly he was in the news)
“Calorie Countdown” isn’t exactly original. PLENTY of Food Network personalities have hopped onto the healthy eating bandwagon. Jamie Oliver of The Naked Chef bared all in West Virginia to help people drop the fat. There’s the androgynous Ellie Krieger The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life,who looks like the head alien in the remake of V: The Original TV Miniseries. Rachael Ray thinks that as long as you use whole wheat pasta, you can baptize your food in the full immersion of butter and olive oil Rachael Ray’s 30-Minute Get Real Meals: Eat Healthy Without Going to Extremes. Now Eat This!: 150 of America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories;Rocco DiSpirito, the Cute Italian Guy, has been on NBC’s Episode #917, Pt 1 & 2
“Calorie Countdown” seems to forget that while yes, food can be nutritious and delicious, originality, creativity, flair and fierceness are also essential when penning a cookbook. If I want to eat healthy, I’ll consult The Intergalactic Cafe Guide to the Care and Feeding of Your Light Body and Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Healing Recipes and Timeless Wisdom from our Hearts to Yours instead. The latter has great recipes for Raw Pad Thai (using Kelp Noodles),raw Mayan Wonder Bars (for celebrating 2012-Quetzalcoatl’s return) and raw halvah. I’d rather listen to the galactic transmissions of Zho-de-Rah and Zon-O-Ray.

I watched his show and really enjoyed this book. I’ve been dieting for over 7 months and have used many recipes from this book. Juan-Carlos is the low calorie comfort food king.
