There are some good substitution ideas in here, but especially in the dessert section there was ‘way too much emphasis on fake food (fat-free and sugar-free pudding, for example), and there’s already enough of that on the show.
Another big problem with this book is that the organization is poor. Several recipes called for another recipe to be made first (e.g. meatloaf sandwich made with leftover meatloaf), but they should have been listed alongside the original recipe, instead of being in separate sections.
Check out of the library first, before buying. If you already use sugar substitutes and sugar-free/fat-free convenience foods in your cooking, this book may have some new ideas. If you’re looking for healthier recipes made with regular food that doesn’t have additives, there are only a few recipes in this book that fit the bill.

This cookbook is great, better than the original Biggest Loser Cookbook. Lots of tips to help keep costs down at the grocery store and just great recipes that taste amazing. Most of the food is easy to prepare and are of course low in calories (some more than you might expect).
In these tough times, where money is tight, this book really helps you and your family eat great on a budget.

No one in my family is overweight. I bought this book because I am always looking for new ways to improve the nutritional value of the foods I fix for my family. This cookbook provides new ways to cook healthy foods plus new things I would not have thought of. There are a lot of breakfast foods, snacks and desserts (not to mention lunch and dinner) that are easy to fix and appealing to everyone in my house from my husband down to my six year old twins. It is surprising to see the variety of foods that are included. It is easy to have a very bland diet when you are trying to eat healthy. This book provides lots of options!
I almost didn’t buy it because I had seen another Biggest Loser Cookbook that was half stories from contestants and did not have enough recipes. This one is full of recipes. I am glad I bought it!!

This is a great book. I’ve tried many and not only are the recipes high fiber, low sugar, and low fat but my kids (4 and
thought they tasted great. My husband loved the marinara sauce and the “new meatballs”. I may be an experienced cook but I found the recipes very easy to put together unlike some other low fat cookbooks, and the ingredients easy to find in the grocery store. Definitely a home-rum in my view!

We just LOVE this cookbook! Got it yesterday, had pizza burgers and sweet potato fries for lunch… followed up with fish tacos and texas caviar (no fish eggs, I promise!) for dinner..
Cant wait to try another recipie tonight. This is just fantastic. My 14 year old son is having a great time helping to cook and the recipies make it easy to do just that. He has even said he’d like to cook one night a week – Horray!
We love that this is real food, not weird tofu and bean sprouts stuff… thanks so much biggest loser!
