Really great guide. Lots of tips and motivation. Tried a few recipes and they were really tasty and good.
I'm really happy that the focus of the BL series is on whole foods as opposed to diet foods (with artificial sweeteners, etc.).
I took away a lot from this book and would suggest it to anyone trying to make serious changes to their lives, food and fitness wise. This isn't a magic pill and the authors are more than willing to admit that.

This was a good basic nutrition book whether you need to lose a lot of weight or just want to eat healthier. It introduced some foods that I was not aware of, but I'm now curious to try. It also gave lists of what foods are good if you want calcium, Vitamin C, etc.
Since I am not in the neighborhood of needing to lose a massive amount of weight, I could disregard advice based on a change of lifestyle to lose a lot of weight, but a lot of the advise was good for just maintaining a healthier lifest...more

Probably some good info on exercise and calorie intake, and there are some inspiring points, but overall I wasn't a big fan of this book. Most of the recipes included things I had never even heard of, and I wont make any of them. And, by the end, I was tired of hearing how everyone can do it, even at home.
This was an ok book. I did enjoy reading the success stories of some of the past contestants. However, most of the other information in the book was commonly known and a bit repetitive. Also, most of the recipes in this book contained too many ingrediants I had never heard of, and would probably never use.
Have I mentioned that I'm obsessed with Biggest Loser? There were some recipes that I'll try, but otherwise, the "swaps" were either things I do already or things I would NEVER do (no matter how much I may want to be healthy).
Quick, easy read full of health tips. I found this very motivating and especially loved the sound bites from past contestants. This book doesn't feel inaccessible. It makes getting healthy and in shape look fun!
I thought this was a good refresher book on nutrition and I even learned some new things. I also tried one of their swap ideas. Spaghetti noodles for spaghetti squash. The squash was really good.
I picked this up because I thought it would be full of recipes and ideas for healthier eating. While there were some recipes, the bulk of the book is focused on Biggest Loser contestants' stories.
Easy exchanges, good recipes and inspiration from those who have participated in Biggest Loser as well as their trainers and the nutritionists who worked with them during the show.
If I had no idea where to start, it'd be good. It tried to be motivational, but was just repetitive. I took a few new things out of it, but besides that, meh.
Many of the swaps were already very familiar to me, but I did enjoy reading the success stories!
more emphasis on past contestants stories
This book had some good idea's from the nutritionist, staff, and contestants on the Biggest Loser. People with a good idea of nutrition may find this book to be mostly information they already know. However, it is a great starting point for people trying to be more healthy and develop a "clean" eating lifestyle. I also want to mention that there are some yummy recipes that are very healthy and creative!
I got some really great tips, great recipes. I know what I got from this book is going to help to eat and be healthy. If you want that push get this book and just start by making this simple swaps if you don't want to make a drastic change right away. Just keep at it and Good luck. If you have a bad day just start over the very next day. :)
Not a bad book. It does have some good information in it.

Good recipe book. Was able to copy over a dozen recipes to try.

It wasn't as good as the Eat This, Not That books.
