We lost the weight with her first book Cooking Thin and we also cook from Getting Thin a lot. This day book is great! It has lots of recipes and tips on how to keep going, how to get motivated, how to make exercise, cooking and losing weight pretty darn easy and lots of fun. Every week has a theme and homework assignments with lots of tips for staying on your plan. There's a place to journal if you want to. And you can go on her website chefkathleen.com and join a group of people who are working their way through the book. Chef Kathleen is right there too. It's free and fun.

I love all three of Chef Kathleen's books. This book is nice because it can serve as a tool for keeping track of how you are doing on your weight loss plan. If you are interested in food journaling and want an organized format this book is great. It also contains some of her wonderful recipes. There are also some nutrition facts and answers to questions emailed to her. It is a tool and will only help if you use it.

When I got this book I was a bit skeptical of the idea of using the journaling aspect. As it turns out, this was the most useful part for me. Keeping an honest accounting of what I was really doing towards my goals has been an invaluable tool for me. Since no one else sees it but me I am totally honest and can take a real look at my progress (or lack of progress). Having it in a daybook form also made me feel like someone was along with me for the journey. On top of that, the food is great and very doable for a non-cook such as myself.

I guess I mis-read that it was a daybook and not a cookbook.

It is basically a 52 week journal with a tip or recipe here and there.

I would rather just buy a journal and write in my own recipes.
