 Great cookbook June 2, 2008

This is a great cookbook with easy to prepare healthy dishes. I've already tried a few recipes and have many more that I want to try. I've even tried the pumpkin in the brownies desert and my kids couldn't even tell! The only thing I don't like is the shirataki noodles that I've tried a few times and just can't get past the rubbery texture--though I really wish I did like the noodles so I could enjoy the less than 100 calorie version of hungry girl alfredo. I've tried crushed fiber one as a coating for chicken and it was great.

This cookbook is handy, but it seems like alot of common sense. For example, use low fat or fat free ingredients. But there are some good tips! I have yet to cook anything from the book(I have owned the book for a few weeks) because nothing has jumped out at me. But, I look forward to trying to cook some of the food soon!

What a disappointment!! This is the most basic cookbook I've ever seen. If you really have absolutely NO CLUE how to cook lowfat then maybe it's for you - otherwise pick anything else. I have 30 plus low calorie/low fat cookbooks and this one is the worst by far.

HungryGirl is my savior!! I lost 30 pounds a while ago and I'm trying to keep it off. However, my PMS cravings can get so bad, I can eat like a 6" man and still be starving!! Thus, I've gained 8 pounds back. So now, instead of running to McDonald's or shoveling down a whole bag of chips when the cravings strike, I break out my HG cookbook! I'm a little surprised about the backlash on this book! I think this isn't a replacement for everyday eating, but a replacement for junkfoods when you just HAVE to have some! I don't like eating processed food, but I find that Lisa has found the lesser evil. I love the Faux Fudge! It's fantastic and tastes more sinful than it really is. :) Keep it up Lisa!
And honestly, you shouldn't expect diet food to taste exactly or better than the original! It's a level of compromise you have to come to terms with if you want your waist to stay the same.

Hungry Girl is a fun read, with lots of recipes and their nutrition values broken down. This is my third cookbook that I've purchased this year and it is by far the most entertaining. Prepare to giggle.
