 Supertastic!!!! May 2, 2008

I heart this book! Lisa has literally saved my life! I am no chef by any means and I love that all of the recipes in this book not only taste great, they are also easy to make. Let's face it, most people are overweight because it is more convenient to stop by and pick up a couple of burgers on the way home than it is to go home and prepare a meal. That was before "Hungry Girl" came to the rescue! As an added bonus, my family will also eat most of these recipes!WOOOHOOO!!!! I am already pining away for the next book!

This book is so easy to read and for someone who's shy about cooking directions are easy to follow. Recipes are great!
BEST. COOKBOOK. EVER. May 1, 2008
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've seen a LOT of diet-conscious cookbooks over the past 3 decades and even if you're not on a diet, this one is a must-have.
The recipes use readily-available ingredients, and they're fairly quick and very easy to follow, with lots of hints and tips. I found them to be surprisingly original, and with plenty of variety to suit most any taste and mood. There's also a lot of single-serving recipes (finally!). Each recipe also includes a nutrition breakdown, which is very helpful if you keep a food journal.
There's plenty of healthy-living hints and exercise ideas sprinkled throughout the book, too.
I just made the cheeseburger salad, and it was delicious!

I'm a huge fan of hungry-girl.com. When this book came out, I immediately preordered it. I LOVE all of Lisa Lillien's recipes - they are delicious, extremely low-calorie, and easy to make. This book is chock-full of delicious, guilt-free recipes. I highly recommend this book!
Weight Watcher member or not...this is a must for those living healthier! May 1, 2008
20 out of 28 found this review helpful
Although this cookbook is geared toward Weight Watcher members, it truly is a must for all of those looking to reduce the fats and calories from their food and lose weight.
The recipes are made from items readily availiabe in your store. Sometimes brand names are mentioned (when HG says no other brand will do), but mostly a generic item is mentioned with the nutritional information listed so you can find an equivialent your market.
I've looked at each page and some of the receipes just look too good to be low calorie.
The chapters are:
1. Rise & Dine (Breakfast)
2. Chop 'til ya Drop (salads)
3. Souper Douper (Soups, many 0-1 points)
4. Let's do lunch (lots of sandwhich/lunch ideas)
5. Junk Food Junkie (things you would usually have at a fast food)
6. Manly Meals (chili's, pizzas, etc)
7. Party Time (appetizers, party ideas)
8. Chocolate 911 (need I say more)
9. Fruity Call (lots of good low-cal fruit based receipes)
10. Oven Lovin (baked goods)
11. Zappuccino (coffee based)
12. Happy Hour (cocktails)
13. Fun With...(different foods made with specific items)
14. Survival Guides (hints on how to survive your weight loss journey.)
If you are on Weight Watchers (as I am) you can go the website and find the point values of the receipe.
The hints, shopping lists, and swap lists and cooking hints are worth the $10 bucks.
This is a keeper!
