4 Stars Great cookbook and fun too!
I first saw this cookbook at a Weight Watchers meeting. They were passing it around and I thumbed through it and had to buy it. The top of the recipe has the calories, fat and fiber for each recipe and that is what WW is all about so someone had gone through the recipes and put a points value to them. When I got my book, I did the same. The recipes taste great, are easy (some of them), and it’s just a fun cookbook. I didn’t give it a full five stars just because I haven’t tried all of the recipes.
5 Stars Love Love Love it
Great Recipes and so tasty you won’t BELIEVE it.
I made so many things already and every one of them was GREAT…
I’m down 13 lbs…
4 Stars Nice adjunct to a diet and fitness plan
At the risk of running afoul of my co-author Ashley Marriott, who is a purest when it comes to natural foods, I have to admit that I really liked Hungry Girl. It’s true that many of the foods contain artificial sweeteners and additives but the author’s emphasis on providing a wide variety of quick and simple menu items is easy to appreciate from the perspective of someone who is constantly on the go. That said, I think some simple modifications can be devised that can easily be integrated into a number of the recipes making them a bit more nutritious and natural. Examples could include the exchange of cabbage leaves for bread on occasion and the use of non-fat milk instead of artificial creamers as well as natural sweeteners like Stevia instead of Splenda. Still, I have to congratulate the author on her simple modifications to so many items that are the favorite foods of so many of us and I think her book with some minor modifictions can serve as a nice adjunct to almost any overall diet and fitness plan. – Marc L.

3 Stars Like the Website? You’ll Probably Like the Cookbook
If you are a fan of the website you will likely love the cookbook. With her same voice, flair and creative snippets of calories, serving and nutrition information, Lisa Lillien delivers what she promises. I found myself marking more recipes to try than I thought I would. Folks who are looking for more nutritious choices might want to look a little deeper before purchasing. The recipes in Hungry Girl can be summed up as fast/snack food menu made with low/non-fat, sugar-free substitutions so it almost tastes like the real deal. I personally don’t like the idea of adding more chemicals to save calories and fat and won’t use most of the recipes because of that. Lillien covers breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and drinks including alcoholic and coffee. But with a few minor tweaks I will be able to serve some delicious and nutritious meals/snacks to friends and family thanks to Lillien’s research and creativity.

Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World I received this at the first of the dates from which it was to be received. This is a big help in determining foods, preparation in them and giving me the information for controlling my intakes for the loss of weight that I drastically need. Through it, exercise and really watching portions of anything I eat I have lost 16 pounds in the last month and a half. I am very grateful for learning about this cookbook, receiving and using it.
