Testimonials

"I am so thrilled with your book!! As a vegetarian, I’ve found it really hard to find a diet book that caters for vegetarians in a realistic way. I literally have over 100 diet books and none of them were doable long term. Your diet is totally doable and based in the real world! Your recipes are simple to prepare and use readily available ingredients. I love your 3-4-5 approach and the fact that you supply nutrition information for the recipes. I'm having so much fun trying your recipes! Thank you!"

I have just begun preparing recipes from your book. My husband and I have been on many diets and have lost and regained many pounds, and both need to lose many pounds presently. ... [Randy] waited in the kitchen for me this morning to see what was scheduled for breakfast. (Banana-Pecan Waffles – yum!) They really are delicious. Standard diet foods of baked chicken and steamed carrots don't hold our interest long at all; We could eat Pesto-Style Portobello Penne every night of the week and feel satisfied in every way. Many thanks!!! I think this is a lifestyle change I can embrace for a lifetime.

Hi Dawn, I am a fellow RD and I am reading your book. I just had to contact you and tell you that it's one of THE best nutrition books I have ever read! This is why:

1. People become so black & white regarding food, and here you've given even vegetarians flexibility!
2. I was personally too obsessed with the "rules" as a self-labeled vegetarian, and wouldn't enjoy a burger at a July 4th barbecue!
3. I wholeheartedly agree with all of your behavior change comments!
4. I love that your recipes are simple, and that you don't solely rely on soy protein!

I definitely plan on recommending your book! :-)

I've been following The Flexitarian Diet (my book is actually falling apart!) and have lost 28.5 pounds! I'm a "fan" on Facebook. Thanks again for the wonderful book and the yummy recipes!!

I just wanted to write a quick email to thank you for writing "The Flexatarian Diet". Even though we were eating healthy previous to starting to use your cookbook, my husband had lost 15 pounds and I fit back into my pre-pregancy pants. Even with a 4-month-old I can manage time to cook your recipes. Just thought you would like to know you had helped someone out.

"I purchased your book last night and have read about half-way through! ... I just wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that the recipes and shopping lists are for one person. I cannot tell you how much of a huge help that is! I have been considerating going vegetarian for a few years now, but being raised on a solid mid-west meat and potatoes diet, I can't abandon my meat! I'm happy to have found this solution which brings balance into the equation. Thanks so much!"

We have gone through your book twice since the beginning of the year. My husband has lost 35lbs and I have lost 10. We love the simplicity and flavor of your recipes but need more. Can you recommend a new book for us or are you planning on releasing a new one soon?
--Jamie

I just bought your book last weekend, and thank you! ... I have tried to go vegetarian two times in the past two years and failed miserably. Your book addresses so many of the issues I had — not knowing where to start, how to cook, and wanting to eat meat at special occassions. I felt such a connection to this book after I read the first page. Hopefully I can check back in three months and tell you that I am successfully living a "Flexitarian" lifestyle.

Just wanted to say that my husband and I have been LOVING the Flexitarian Diet cook book! We've been making nearly every lunch and dinner from one of your recipes for the past few months. The shopping lists are also such a great idea. I hate grocery shopping but those lists make it such a breeze! I think the book is the perfect trifecta of nutrious, delicious and simplicity. ... It really is such a refreshing approach to a cook book and cooking in general.

"I bought your book a few days ago and immediately started using your recipes. Wow! My husband and I love what we have been eating so far. This book is PERFECT for me as I like to eat mostly vegetarian food with meat occaisonly! ... I just want to share how excited I am with your book and have signed up for your newsletter, too."

"Just to say thank you for this wonderful book, I absolutely love it, and the recipes are terrific!! I didn't know what I was looking for exactly, and have been so disappointed with other books (not because they were bad so to speak, but they weren't for me). The knowledge and recipes in your book are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for writing about the Flexitarian lifestyle."
