 Great ideas October 31, 2008
I looked thru the book and love it. The title described me and the women in my family perfect. I bought 4 and hope they enjoy it as much as I do. There's lots of ways to eat the foods you love and not have to burn off all those EXTRA calories.

Until this book, I totally despised cooking and lived off Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine. I thought I would give this book a try, and I'll admit it was mostly for the desserts. I've now made dozens of these recipes and while I'll admit there are some I'm not crazy about, others I definitely look forward to making again. They are easy to make, and best of all, they're high in fiber, high in protein, low in calories, and low in fat. I can't believe I'd never had butternut squash until I got this book. I've even gotten so that I've made my own recipes from some tweaks of these, such as strawberry muffins. I also love the fact that most of these recipes are either single serving recipes or easy to divide. I live alone and HATE dealing with leftovers!
Perfect for days of weakness!! October 22, 2008

HungryGirl is my savior!! I lost 30 pounds a while ago and I'm trying to keep it off. However, my PMS cravings can get so bad, I can eat like a 6" man and still be starving!! Thus, I've gained 8 pounds back. So now, instead of running to McDonald's or shoveling down a whole bag of chips when the cravings strike, I break out my HG cookbook! I'm a little surprised about the backlash on this book! I think this isn't a replacement for everyday eating, but a replacement for junkfoods when you just HAVE to have some! I don't like eating processed food, but I find that Lisa has found the lesser evil. I love the Faux Fudge! It's fantastic and tastes more sinful than it really is. :) Keep it up Lisa!
And honestly, you shouldn't expect diet food to taste exactly or better than the original! It's a level of compromise you have to come to terms with if you want your waist to stay the same.
 I wanted to love it... October 20, 2008

Many of the recipes aren't even recipes -- very little actual food preparation involved. I read through the whole book twice and haven't really found anything I care to try. I like the attitude, but wouldn't buy it again.
Fantastic resource for EVERY BODY!! October 18, 2008
I love this book!! I subscribe to the Hungry Girl daily e-mail. The tips, recipes and information is invaluable to all, not just those on diets.
