Summary: Fun way to look at eating healthy
Comment: My favorite thing about this book is the back part where they have mini sections on eating out at Chinese, Sushi and with movie theatre foods. Explains what is good to eat and best to avoid. The recipes in the book are fresh and fun too and easy to follow along with using ingredients I have at home. Written to target women but anyone can enjoy it.

Summary: Good eats!
Comment: This book is user friendly and gives a lot of ideas to swap ingredients and make foods lighter in fat and calories. You can also subscribe to her daily newsletter that gives good ideas. I would not eat every thing in the book, but I've used it several times.

Summary: Great Book! We're all losing weight!!!
Comment: I've had the whole family on WW and added Hungry Girl's book to our collection. I love the humorous style in which she writes...makes you feel better about "dieting". But since it's a whole new life style, I don't call it a diet anymore...;)
Anyway, the recipes are easy to follow and easy to ammend if so desired.
Our family of 4 has lost over 200 pounds...not just by following Hungry Girl's book but it sure has helped.
Bravo on a job well done Lisa!!! Hurry up and do another one soon!!!
Thank you!

Summary: Ladies and Gentlemen, you may now enjoy your chili dog without guilt
Comment: To be fair, I'm not quite sure why I bought this book in the first place. I don't really visit Ms. Lillien's website very often, and sometimes her caloric shockers would just depress me and make me not want to eat anything. However, I just grabbed it at the bookstore since I had a credit so it would be pretty cheap.
I am so happy I did. So far I've done about seven of the recipes in this book (busy girl, I am!) and they have ranged from good to blissful. I made her chicken pot pie, which someone could probably cook in their sleep (a big bonus if you're sick, say, and are totes craving cpp!) and it is so. good. My father told me it was the best chicken pot pie he'd ever had, ever. Plus, after eating her recipes I don't feel immediately hungry like I do if I eat a Lean Cuisine, say.
It seems that the most controversy, if one could apply that word here, surrounding HG's recipes are that they contain too many "processed foods." Well, on the whole, her recipes contain way more vegetables and soy than those in "normal" cookbooks. Her salads are absolutely bursting with veggies and so are the soups! Even her "Sloppy Janes" contain veg. I did have trouble adjusting to the Cool Whip Free, since Cool Whip has always sort of scared me, but I don't think the recipes taste gross because of it. As for the Splenda thing, my mom really likes it because she's diabetic and it doesn't affect her blood sugar. Hey, I'm all for organic and healthy (I am ADDICTED to shopping at Trader Joe's), so if any of you can find an all-natural way for her to eat sugar without crashing, please let me know!
The idea that we can just eat "sensible" portions of "normal" food is also nil, at least in this country. I spent ten months living in France, ate croissants for breakfast and huge steaks at night, not to mention various sausages, potatoes, and veg all fried in buttah, and lost weight. Why? Well, maybe the fact that I walked everywhere helped! Here in the States most people don't have that option. So until our cities start wising up to the fact that we can't and shouldn't drive everywhere, we need to find workable options to balance our caloric intake with our caloric burn. Besides, when presented with a huge, creamy bowl of fettucine alfredo, are you REALLY going to eat that sensible fist-sized portion of pasta? I don't think so.
Hungry Girl has really done us a great service by changing our fave fatty foods into non-guilty, delicious meals. She's doing a great job. Thanks, HG!
