Summary: Hungry Girl
Comment: Easy to read, easy to use recipes for the busy person trying to watch their diet. Liked the layout and the extra "tips."

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I was thinking this would be a cook book for "real" women. I thought it would revel in the joys of having a normal figure. but, alas, it is the same old diet advice full of artificial sweeteners and non-fat foods. When are we going to learn that not everyone is supposed to look like a starving waif-like starlet. Real women eat real food! Real women have breasts and hips........and real men love them!

Summary: LIFE CHANGING!!
Comment: This book changed my life!!! I think the recipies are fast, inventive and taste awesome! I have lost 30 pounds and I owe it to this book! I also love the section that lists the "safe" things to eat in different cuisine restaurants as well as gas stations, long car rides. It really helps keep me on track no matter where I go.
Another huge bonus for those of us on Weight Watchers is that you can look up on line EVERY recipe in the book - get a picture and nutritional breakdown WITH the Points already figured out!! You can't beat it! My favorite recipe so far - "Lord of the Onion Rings". It's only two Weight Watcher points for the entire recipe!! I think this book would be a staple for any person on a diet and a bigger bonus for those of us on Weight Watchers!

Summary: So far, so good
Comment: I checked this book out from the Library, because I didn't want to commit to buying it until I was sure that I would actually use it. So far I've tried six of the recipes and every single one has been uncomplicated and very good.
Here's whate I love about it.
1) The single serving size is perfect if you're just cooking for one.
2) There are no exotic ingredients, just your average grocery store fare.
3) The recipes are low cal, but not lacking in taste.
4) Plenty of funny, quirky commits and surival guides through- out.
5) Quick and Easy, from prep to plate, nothing I've done so far has been more than 8-10 minutes.
I've been on a low cal, high protein, limited sugar plan for about 4 months and was really bored with all the meat, cheese and dairy. This cookbook has spiced things up. I'm very pleased with everything that I've tried so far. The best thing? I've started making smoothies and I've discovered soy. Who would've thought that soy burgers would taste good, lol!

Summary: Great starter book even for guys.
Comment: My wife and I purchased this book after seeing it at our local mall. The recipes where fast and easy to put together. I really liked the wraps and was able to make my own healthy variations. Overall, it helped us make better food, "Not Microwaved" ;) by introducing good reciepes that we will use at least 2-3 times a week.
