 The Book for Those Who Hate to Cook and Want to Lose Weight January 9, 2009
J. Whitford (Falls Church, VA USA)
I really hated to cook. My idea of cooking was grabbing my laminated folder of takeout menus and ordering a variety of fast food and Chinese takeout. But after doing that for the past five years I am three sizes larger and my stretch pants are about to split the seams. Even worse, the money I spent on meals out I could have saved and taken a trip to Paris.
A friend suggested I find a cookbook that was easy, healthy (no missing food groups) and had single serving portions. After sitting on the floor in my bookstore and perusing tons of diet cookbooks, I decided to give this one a try.
The recipes are for one or two servings. I can eat one and save the other to reheat or take for lunch. It's also the first book I have found that has simple recipes (not twenty hard to find ingredients) and makes healthier versions of fast food favorites.
I love that I can make my own version of an egg muffin sandwich (instead of the one at Starbucks), BBQ chicken pizza (I was always ordering that one from a local pizza joint), a grilled cheese sandwich (my favorite with tomato soup) and more.
I am a chocolate freak so the frozen hot chocolate idea was new to me, and I love the chocolate mousse parfait.
The author Devlin Alexander lost 55 pounds and has kept them off for over a decade. This book is so good and easy to use that I am going to buy all her other books and keep adding one or two recipes to my meal plan each week. Instead of planning my takeout orders each day, I now make a meal plan on Sunday, then cook up and freeze meals in single portions ahead of time.
I never thought I would use anything other than my microwave to nuke leftover takeout food. Now my stove is getting a real workout. And I am saving for a trip to Paris at the end of the year to buy me a slinky designer black dress.
 Great Book January 6, 2009

This was a very good purchase. Lots of really healthy recipes. I haven't actually cooked any yet, but I'd say this was a good purchase.

The recipes used in this book are above and beyond how I usually cook. I'm definitely a down-home type cook and these are definitely fancier than my husband and I every eat. We're willing to try some of these recipes, but I was hoping for some recipes that aren't as "high-class" as what the majority of these recipes are. If you enjoy experimenting and trying a lot of new, more exotic recipes, these would be great!! Unfortunately, I'm not that experimental and I will probably just use the Biggesst Loser calorie counter book and keep track of my calories that way.
I had doubts but healthy really can taste amazing!!! November 12, 2008

Wow!! So far I've made at least 10 dishes from this cookbook and I am really impressed!! The ingredients are usually very easy to find and for the most part each recipe only requires a few ingredients. The recipes are mostly made for 1-4 servings which is convenient if you are single or if you are just cooking healthy for yourself and not for your whole family. I have been scaling the recipes up (if necessary) to make enough for my whole family and they are just as impressed by the meals even though they aren't trying to lose weight!! Since eating more wholesome meals I feel more full, more energetic and and just better overall.
