As a proud member of the "Joy Fit Club", and someone who has lost 300 lbs and has maintained that weight loss for many years, I can personally attest to Joy's genuine dedication to helping the "dieter" both achieve success and to do it correctly. Joy's enthusiasm for healthy living comes to life in this beautifully illustrated book that teaches the reader how to remove the barrier of deprivation from their dieting vocabulary. As someone who has successfully lost a tremendous amount of weight and now lives a healthy lifestyle I agree 100 percent that depriving yourself of your favorite junk foods that you crave is the leading cause of failure when dieting, this book removes that barrier allowing you to feel as if nothing is off limits and is THE key to success. On every page, Joy magically transforms those forbidden foods into guiltless pleasures eliminating the deprivation factor and leading you down the road to dieting triumphs and healthful living. With uncomplicated tweaks and simple ingredients the no-no foods are suddenly yes-yes foods! I highly recommend this book..not only does Joy have a genuine passion for life and a healthy lifestyle that comes through both on the Today Show and on the written page, but the quick, easy transformations of food from Junk to Joy truly will make your weight loss journey a pleasure and set you up to win the battle with junk food.....for life!!

This is a rather interesting cookbook: the premise is to take the junky food we like (things like pop tarts, cheez its, potato salad though no brand names are used) and with a few simple changes, create healthier alternatives. Author Bauer wisely avoids altering them too much - we're not talking perfectly healthy here. But this is a case of small changes making a decided difference over time.

The book breaks down as follows: Chapter 1: Better For You Breakfasts; Chapter 2: Delicious Dips and Appetizers; Chapter 3: Scrumptious Soups and Sandwiches; Chapter 4: Slimming Sides, Salads, and Dressings; Chapter 5: Simple Satisfying Suppers; Chapter 6: Palate Pleasing Pizzas and Pastas; Chapter 7: Decadent Desserts; Chapter 8: Creative Cocktails, Mocktails, and Beverages. Conversion charts, index.

The book is beautifully presented with easy to use recipes and bright, colorful photographs. Each recipe has a picture/description of the original 'less healthy' version (the 'junk food') and then a healthier recipe alternative (the "joy food'). But this is a recipe book based on calories, not necessarily health. E.g., many of the recipes remove egg yolks - which brings the calorie count down but doesn't, in my opinion, necessarily make the meal healthier. Other recipes just use skim milk products over heavier cheeses and creams. E.g., macaroni and cheese is never going to be healthy - but replacing cream and butter with reduced fat cheese and less butter makes for a better alternative (and takes the calories from 1300 to 400). Nutrition information, serving size, alternatives/twists are also included.

This book is a compromise between a healthy lifestyle and junk food bonanza.

Not only have I personally followed Joys suggestions and recipes since 2009, but recommended many to my patients. She has helped me maintain my weight loss of over 200 lbs by following her healthy eating tips and enjoying many of her easy to follow and, frankly delicious, recipes. This book is the ultimate "tell all" of many of the tastiest foods I have ever eaten. There is no question, you are what you eat, and as Joy states, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feel"
Joy...unbelievable job...BRAVO!!

What I've been looking for! Every since I lost over 100lbs, keeping it off has been challenging. Finding great tasting foods that taste like "cheat" foods but without all the calories and fat can be difficult. I love the recipes and the fact that every recipe tells you how many calories each dish has! I love junk food so this was a great way to still enjoy the good stuff without feeling guilty. Black Bean Brownies are the best!!!!
