This is the BEST cookbook EVER. It doesnt make you "DIET" just shows you how to make awesome meals while keeping calories low!!! Really changes how you cook!!!!
Holy cow, this is a good cookbook! The only thing I don't love so far is the book's Thai salad. This cookbook is well worth your time to read and cook from.
I did find some great recipes that can be used to help me and my family eat healither.
I think this is geared toward folks that don't cook a lot or need to eat on the run sometimes. I think folks new to cooking/singles or busy parents will get the most out of this cookbook.
I did find the stories inspiring - the books has lots of past participants from the Biggest Loser tv show.
I often feel these tv show books are slapped together quickly to make a quick sale. I think this book is no different. There are a few great ideas in this book, but on the whole, its really a book you could be successful without. There isn't any new information here that you wouldn't know already if you have dieted in your life.
I was surprised to come across this book at the library. I enjoyed the book--it has some interesting background stories of some of the contestants from the show and their recipes. I especially liked the section that talks about good nutrition. I was surprised that the recipes incorporate artificial sweeteners, as I do not considerable this a healthy option. There are lots of good ideas though.
AWESOME recipes!!!!! It seems as though they use a lot of ingredients, but the end result is so worth it! Healthy cooking that won't make you miss the old stuff!
Recently saw a video and read several articles about how few of the contestants kept their weight off. Compared recipes with my recent experiences and knowledge of nutrition. Will not be keeping this book.
I am not very brave with my cooking so there wasn't much in here that I was interested in. A couple of breakfast recipes maybe. The 4-3-2-1 pyramid is interesting though.
Page one got my son's attention: Boston Cream Pie Peanutbutter Banana Split. And I love all of the Yoplat light dessert yogurts:) We loved the frozen hot chocolate - just like a fudge-cicle. The parmesian popcorn was good. I don't think we'll try the red clam sauce spaghetti again, but it wasn't bad. The Southwest Chicken Pile Up was a hit and my kids are picky. I loved the Barbecue Chicken Pizza even if the kids didn't. And I'm going to try the meatball recipe because the frozen meatballs I got at the store are horse meat as far as my husband is concerned.
