Adore this book!

I absolutely love this book! Every recipe I have tried has been easy and delicious. A huge plus for me is the number of recipes for one person! It is SO nice to be able to prepare just enough for me. The tips in the back of the book to help keep us on track in different situations are fabulous.

Yummy Yummy in my healthy tummy

I'm not really a girly-girl who starves herself or worries about what she eats, but I did put on a few pounds that needed to go. The recipes in this book are tasty and I have lost some weight. I've also been exercising, so I'm not going to say the book is completely responsible for the weight loss, but I think eating some of these meals really did help. Good luck girls!

This book really helps me stay on track!

This is a great book, and an even better extension of the Hungry girl.com website. I literally use these recipes every single day, and they really help me keep on track with Weight Watchers. A majority of the recipes are for 1 or 2 servings, which helps me dive right in and make them for myself instead of trying to divide out the recipes. It's easier to double or triple the recipe anyway, so that isn't a problem when I'm cooking for more than myself. Most recipes are no more than 3 points, while many are only 1 or 2 points. I've been able to eat all of the foods I love again thanks to Lisa's great ideas for tweaking recipes. I highly recommend the book.

Great for dieters.

Love this cook book. This would be more helpful if the Weight Watchers points were included, but gives you everything you need know to calculate. Great book!

I love Hungry Girl but...

Let me first of all just say that I LOVE the hungry girl website and email list. However, I was a bit disappointed by the book.

First of all, it's missing some of the best recipes that I have seen on the hungry girl mailing list (enchiladas, anyone?! mmm!) There have been several times that I thought about making a hungry girl recipe, looked it up in the book, and realized that it's not in there! I realize that they couldn't fit every recipe in the book but it's still a little disappointing.

I also wish that there was a picture of most of the recipes in the book. They are available online, but it's pretty inconvenient to look up pictures of things. It'd be nice to be able to flip through and look for something yummy to make. I would have gladly paid more money for a book with pictures of each recipe.

As for the recipes themselves? They're hit or miss. I'm not a fan of the faux-fried Fiber One recipes, and I wish the author would have recommended more seasonings for a lot of the faux-fried recipes. They taste nothing like fried food but they could be decent with proper seasoning! There are definitely several gems within this book, but there are also some very bland recipes.

I also wish that the author had included more dinner foods. The book has a good mix of desserts, appetizers, drinks, sandwiches, etc., but I think many people would agree that dinner recipes are the most sought out.

For the price, it's not a bad little cookbook. However, I'd recommend subscribing to the email list more than I'd recommend getting the book.
