The Biggest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Delicious Recipes Adapted from NBC’s Hit Show

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.

Best Cookbook so far, November 13, 2006

By 

Twylia Westling “skidroadrider” (Tacoma, WA) –

  

I’ve recently taken up the hobby of buying cookbooks which, it was believed, would help me eat properly and lose weight. I’ve spent a LOT of time and money researching ways to lose weight healthily and tastily. I’m not a big cook and most of the cookbooks I have bought recently left my mouth-watering but not satisfied.

Not so with this cookbook! The recipes are the simplest things I’ve ever made. I made the Not Really Fried Rice this last weekend, and it was so simple and tasty! Tonight, we are eating the Jerk Salmon. My favorite things to snack on to satisfy my sweet tooth are the graham-wiches. They are so tasty and so low in calories I don’t have to worry about it!

I’ve never counted calories before so the first week was a little hard for me to get used to – that and being careful about what I eat. But now, I feel like a pro and have total confidence on what I put into my body! Plus, the recipes have really added some ‘spice’ to our otherwise boring and mundane meal-plan.

I have both the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Program and now the cookbook. I have lost four pounds in the last two weeks. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone wanting to lose weight and do it healthily! This is a great investment in your health!
