Rating  - LIFE CHANGING!!
This book changed my life!!! I think the recipies are fast, inventive and taste awesome! I have lost 30 pounds and I owe it to this book! I also love the section that lists the "safe" things to eat in different cuisine restaurants as well as gas stations, long car rides. It really helps keep me on track no matter where I go.
Another huge bonus for those of us on Weight Watchers is that you can look up on line EVERY recipe in the book - get a picture and nutritional breakdown WITH the Points already figured out!! You can't beat it! My favorite recipe so far - "Lord of the Onion Rings". It's only two Weight Watcher points for the entire recipe!! I think this book would be a staple for any person on a diet and a bigger bonus for those of us on Weight Watchers!
Rating - So far, so good
I checked this book out from the Library, because I didn't want to commit to buying it until I was sure that I would actually use it. So far I've tried six of the recipes and every single one has been uncomplicated and very good.
Here's whate I love about it.
1) The single serving size is perfect if you're just cooking for one.
2) There are no exotic ingredients, just your average grocery store fare.
3) The recipes are low cal, but not lacking in taste.
4) Plenty of funny, quirky commits and surival guides through- out.
5) Quick and Easy, from prep to plate, nothing I've done so far has been more than 8-10 minutes.
I've been on a low cal, high protein, limited sugar plan for about 4 months and was really bored with all the meat, cheese and dairy. This cookbook has spiced things up. I'm very pleased with everything that I've tried so far. The best thing? I've started making smoothies and I've discovered soy. Who would've thought that soy burgers would taste good, lol!
Rating - Great starter book even for guys.
My wife and I purchased this book after seeing it at our local mall. The recipes where fast and easy to put together. I really liked the wraps and was able to make my own healthy variations. Overall, it helped us make better food, "Not Microwaved" ;) by introducing good reciepes that we will use at least 2-3 times a week.
Rating - Help for the everyday non-perfect dieter
I am a fan of Hungry girl. She tries. She really tries to think of ways to lower the Weight watchers points values (usually adding more fiber) while not totally sacrificing taste. Some of these are definitely recipes that will not be repeated after I tried them. You have to try them anyway because you just don't know what will become a favorite. So far I am loving the yum yum brownies (better cold from the fridge after cooled), butternut squash fries (even though it is a total pain to peel and chop), and I am really looking forward to trying the shirataki noodles. You can buy shirataki noodles that have zero calories as well as the brand that she recommends. Bottom line, hungry girl is about experimentation with food and having fun while cooking and realizing that we have to lower calories and up the fiber in order to lower weight. Yes, some of the names are a bit much, but it is all in the spirit of trying to embrace cooking and your food while lowering calories. It certainly takes some of the sting out of it for sure. Remember that this is a DIET cookbook people, and then from that expectation your tastebuds might stop rebelling quite so loudly.
Rating - This book changed my LIFE!
I lost 30 pounds in the first three months of using this book. I love the food. It was a big change in eating habits for me, but I feel much happier and lighter now. Try it out.Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World
