"simply delicious"
The recipes don't have a ton of ingredients but they have a ton of flavor. Easy for even the novice cook. I can't wait for the next one!

"A little revolting..."
There's the Michael Pollan books...that help us to look at healthy eating, and the ethics and biology of food, the planet, and your body. Then there's the other end-- this sort of book-- that preaches Splenda (which has been proven to be destructive to the body and actually causes weight gain), processed ingredients, and all thing unnatural. Some people are obviously great fans of this book, but I found that some of the recipes were more punishment than pleasure, and downright revolting. I would also rather opt for the healthy approach where one actually eats real food and not plastic. And finally, not to be unkind-- but has anyone seen a photo of the author's husband, the producer of the Nickolodean shows? This is a very obese man. It's just a little strange that the author of a book on foods that keep you thin is married to someone who is so overweight-- and who is a public figure.

"YUMMMM!!!!!"
GREAT recipes---really love the layout of the book. I am glad there is a cookbook that has lots of good recipes to try. Thank you.

"Great ideas"
I looked thru the book and love it. The title described me and the women in my family perfect. I bought 4 and hope they enjoy it as much as I do. There's lots of ways to eat the foods you love and not have to burn off all those EXTRA calories.

"In Love"
Until this book, I totally despised cooking and lived off Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine. I thought I would give this book a try, and I'll admit it was mostly for the desserts. I've now made dozens of these recipes and while I'll admit there are some I'm not crazy about, others I definitely look forward to making again. They are easy to make, and best of all, they're high in fiber, high in protein, low in calories, and low in fat. I can't believe I'd never had butternut squash until I got this book. I've even gotten so that I've made my own recipes from some tweaks of these, such as strawberry muffins. I also love the fact that most of these recipes are either single serving recipes or easy to divide. I live alone and HATE dealing with leftovers!
