Book Description

April 28, 2009 Voice
Lose weight without losing your mind!

Cook Yourself Thin is a healthy, delicious way to drop a dress size without all the gimmicks. The ladies of "Cook Yourself Thin," a new Lifetime reality show, offer 80 easy, accessible recipes in this companion cookbook that teaches readers how to cut calories without compromising taste.

For some of us, losing weight has always been a struggle. The challenge: figuring out how to cook healthy, low-fat foods that won't leave you hungry, bored, or running for a gallon of ice cream! Cook Yourself Thin shows how to cut calories, change diets, and improve health without sacrificing the foods we love.

Cook Yourself Thin is not a fad diet. It gives skinny alternatives to your cravings. You can't live without your chocolate cake or mac 'n' cheese? You don't have to! (See Deep Dark Chocolate Cake, page 197.) There's never enough time to cook? Cook Yourself Thin keeps it simple─with easy instructions and fun recipes you'll want to make again and again.

What are you waiting for? Cook Yourself Thin!

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent "diet" cooking, BUT... May 6, 2009
By j.s.
Format:Paperback
there are better options out there!

"Cook Yourself Thin" is a cute attractive book based on the cute and attractive television series on Lifetime television. While the recipes are tasty and fairly easy, I have a few complaints.

Firstly, the book contains NO nutritional information beyond a simple calorie count. If you are tracking your sodium, fiber, or fat intake, this book will not help you.

Also, some of the recipes are significantly higher in calories than similar diet books. You'll intake 596 calories for two stacks of eggplant and 539 calories for a portobello mushroom tuna melt. While these numbers are lower in comparison to NON-healthful recipes, there are definitely better options.

Despite these complaints, I do like this book. The presentation is nice and the recipes are delicious. As a healthful chef, I can definitely recommend "Cook Yourself Thin." As an earnest dieter, I think the book is acceptable - but not the best. I highly recommend "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" by Devin Alexander. It has more thorough nutritional information and a better serving size/calorie ratio.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a rip off May 28, 2009
Format:Paperback
Like most of you I got this book after watching the show on lifetime. In my mind I thought the show was a sneak peak of what was in the book...WRONG I would say 90% of what is in the book was featured on the show and and the recipes can be printed out for FREE on the website. I would say less than half maybe a third of the book has recipies the other 2/3 has dieting and eating tips. Maybe im wrong but most of it is common sense to anyone who has tried to lose weight in the past ( which im guessing most of the poeple buying this book has). My suggestion print the recipies for free from the website and get Eat This Not That for some good advice...

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed to get me cooking again! May 12, 2009
Format:Paperback
Where can I start? I bought this book thinking that all the recipes will probably be like all the other diets books, tasting OK and passable enough for me to stick to lose a few pounds - HOW WRONG WAS I??

This book is lovely, the recipes are easy to follow, the ingredients are easy to find and each recipe doesn't include a list of ingredients that are longer than your arm, unlike most recipe books. Therefore the recipes are also affordable.

This is a must for anyone trying to lose weight without starving themselves or even who's just trying to eat healthily. The recipes are easily adapted to put your own spin on them and there's something for everyone. It's got me loving cooking again. So far I have not even felt like I have been dieting at all, I have enjoyed everything and have even had the odd guilt free bar of chocolate! It's all about weight loss through making healthy changes this summer. [...]

I email the recipe I'm working on to my cell phone so its easier to handle while im shopping. From what I've read on lifetimes web site from people that have it, all the recipes from the show are in the book.
