This is one of the best cookbooks I've ever owned! My friends and I have made several recipes from this cookbook, which contains everything from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. With helpful tips from contestants and trainers, it is a must have for anyone living a healthy lifestyle or wanting to cook more healthful versions of their favorite foods!

I did find some great recipes that can be used to help me and my family eat healither.

I think this is geared toward folks that don't cook a lot or need to eat on the run sometimes. I think folks new to cooking/singles or busy parents will get the most out of this cookbook.

I did find the stories inspiring - the books has lots of past participants from the Biggest Loser tv show.

This book had all kinds of great sounding recipes and a lot of helpful hints and tips for eating right. I can't wait to make some of the dishes for parents and boyfriend!!!


I liked this so much I ordered the original Biggest Loser book to go along with it!

Good ideas for healthy versions of indulgent food. Wish it had more vegetarian main course options though.

I was a little disappointed with this book. It has great ideas and weight loss recipes. The recipes are all "for one" so it doesn't help planning meals for a family.

The contestants from the show have put in their favorites--mostly salad. There are also TONS of motivational quotes from the show's contestants.

It's OK, but not great, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

Awesome recipes in this book that are good for you, too. I've made probably 50-60% of the recipes in this cookbook, which is pretty rare for me. And we've liked every one of them!

I am not very brave with my cooking so there wasn't much in here that I was interested in. A couple of breakfast recipes maybe. The 4-3-2-1 pyramid is interesting though.
