 Everything you need to know! March 14, 2008

I had high hopes for this book and was not dissappointed! It has great recipes. I like the fact that most are for one serving as opposed to having 6 to 8 servings and then having to divide everything into one portion sizes. It will tell you just how their diet works and how to incorporate for yourself. I have been following it with much success!!
This is the best cookbook I've ever purchased. March 12, 2008

I am an incredibly picky eater and usually if I get 1 or 2 recipes out of a cookbook that I buy I'm pretty lucky. I'm pretty "plain jane" when it comes to food. The Biggest Loser Cookbook is the perfect book for me because it takes a lot of those basic meals that I love and makes them healthier. I've even learned enough from the book that I can make adaptions and play around with the recipes to create even more great meals for myself and my family.
Some of our favorite recipes from the book are the Open Faced Burritos, the Almost Fast Food Burger, the Picante Chicken, the roast beef sandwich, the breakfast sausages, and the turkey roll-ups. We haven't gotten through them all yet but we're working our way through the book.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this book if you're a picky eater or you're one of those people who doesn't like a lot of extra stuff in their food. These are simple, plain recipes that taste like a million bucks.

I know that some people have given this book a low review because of its lack of original dishes. The truth of the matter is that the book's purpose is to reinvent favorite flavors and dishes...not create new ones. I use the book quite often, and modify the dishes as I see fit which is great because there are times where I get the caloric values even lower while improving the flavor. The results are fantastic. Since mid-December of 2007, I've lost 87lbs!!! I keep my calories around 1200 a day and use the Biggest Loser Workout DVDs daily. I've gone from 420lbs. to 333lbs. No lie.

I've tried a few of the recipes in this book. Some were really good, so far only one I would not make again. Still not really what I was hoping for. It's lacking a bit in creativiy.
Love the show and love the recipes! February 17, 2008

I read some negative reviews about this cookbook, but I still went ahead and made the purchase. I LOVE the show, Biggest Loser, and felt that I would be happy with the cookbook. I am glad that I took the risk. I love the book and use it a lot! The beginning part has a lot of information about the contestants from the first 2 seasons. Since I only have recently begun to watch the show, I found this to be very interesting. I have also used quite a few of the recipes and have NEVER been disappointed. In fact, the banana split recipe is waaaay too good to be good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, as an added endorsement, my family of big football players have greatly enjoyed the food and the health benefits from healthy eating! This book gets a big thumbs up from me!
