My husband and I have lost over 35 lbs each in just 4 months eating low carb meals and exercising, however, although this one looks good, I sometimes object to the small portions. I noticed it with other low carb/low cal recipes from George and Juan too. If I'm going to eat just a few spoonfuls or a 1" square of something, I might just eat the real thing and get the full satisfaction.
