 The only thing you have to lose is your weight. September 22, 2007

Based on the NBC hit show "The Biggest Loser," this colorful cookbook is a plus to anybody's library that is trying to lose weight or even just eat healthy. The promise of the book is that eating healthy can be quick and delicious AND it doesn't have to mean bland, tasteless food- and the book delivers.
Readers will find a short review of the Biggest Loser's way to lose weight- which is sensible- you eat right and exercise. Then comes the heart of the book- over 100 recipes for the various meals like breakfast, snacks, etc. And unlike a lot of cookbooks, each recipe shows you exactly how many calories, fat grams, protein grams, carb grams, fiber grams, sodium, and cholesterol it contains- which is nice for a wide variety of other populations such as those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
A sensible and practical cookbook, a lot of people will probably get their money's worth. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if a shoulder problem keeps you from getting all the benefits of lifting weights.

Last year I weighed 530 pounds. After being inspired by the TV show The Biggest Loser, I have lost 140 pounds so far. I still have about 200 more pounds to go. I KNOW that with recipes and meals like the ones featured in this book, that I will be able to reach my weight loss goals. The thing that I appreciate most about this cookbook is that the recipes are simple and easy to follow. I am a bachelor and am not an experienced cook but this book makes me look like a pro. I have been asked by so many people how I've lost the amount of weight that I have. The answer is simple...eat less (make healthier food choices and portion control), move more (daily exercise) and drink lots of water. The Biggest Loser has shown me how to lose my weight - The Biggest Loser Cookbook is helping to keep me going!! PS The Blueberry Pancakes are out of this world! Yumm!!

at how much I like this book. It has recipes in it that are good and good for you, even if you are not struggling (too much) with weight.
The book includes over 125 recipes developed by a chef who was well known as a celebrity chef for her good tasting but still good for you recipes.
I gave this 4 stars because there is a section in the beginning that profiles all the people who have been on The Biggest Loser, which was not my favorite part of the book, but for the TV show fans, they might like it. And, there is another chapter that is listed as the Biggest Loser exercise plan, but it really does not go into any depth at all, and just mentions how good exercise is for you.
However, then you get to the other chapters, beginning with the 4-3-2-1 food pyramid, which guides you to how many servings of each food group are suggested if you want to plan a menu. That makes it pretty easy to plan. The rest of the chapters are Breakfasts; Hearty Snacks; Sandwiches, Soups and Stews; Sides and Salads; Main Courses; and Sweet Snacks. This is the real "meat" of the book (pun intended). Some recipes were not to my taste, but some, like the Breakfast Sausage or the Ground Turkey Nachos, or especially the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, are quite good tasting.
There are photos of some, but not all of the foods, but each offering does have calorie and nutrition counts included.
This could be a good addition to your cookbook shelf(ves), if you are looking for a calorie minded, but real food cookbook.
 Not really all that healthy April 12, 2007

Okay, this is a cute, fun, easy cookbook and some of the things are definitely yummy. However, I wouldn't live by it. It's okay to use if you are severely overweight if it will help you drop a few.
But if you're looking to maintain for life or just have a bunch of go to healthy recipes, a good portion of this book should be avoided.
For example, the banana creme breakfast thingy calls for artificially sweetened boston cream yogurt. We all know that aspartame is really bad for you and that splenda with its sugar alcohols can really upset your tummy. (If you have an onset of inexplicable gas -- I'd point to sucralose or maltitol as the culprits -- seriously, not fun) Second of all, it calls for low fat peanut butter. Peanuts are a high fat food..and peanut butter should contain...well...peanuts, right? So, if the fat is getting cut out..something else is getting put in - most likely chemicals or trans-fats like CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES (I pulled that directly from the label of low fat JIF). Mono/diglycerides are animal derived and are used to emulsify and frankly, have too many syllables to be a chemical I want to consume frequently.
This is a great cookbook! October 20, 2006

I don't cook, but I have found Ms. Alexander's recipe's to be easy to follow and very tasty too! I can't believe that they are low cal and low fat, because they are very high in taste!
