 Great book if you're such a hungry girl you don't care about taste September 17, 2008
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I picked up this book mostly because it seemed like it had recipes for foods that I might actually enjoy like philly cheese steak, spicy chicken sandwhich etc and promised easy, low-fat, high-fiber recipes.
I wish I had glanced over the ingredient lists a bit more before purchasing. The recipes rely very heavily on "faux" foods such as fat free cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, soy crumbles, etc
Of all the recipes I tried so far, only the cheese steak is decent and it's basically just sauteed onions and meat, so....
The Fiber One breading she uses frequently for chicken dishes is imo horrible. I guess if you just really want to get some extra fiber or you like the taste of Fiber One, it's fine, but I didn't care for it at all.
All the fake dairy products make most of the recipes bland, with weird textures. Some of them I caught myself thinking might be decent if I swapped out all the fake ingredients for smaller amounts of real food, but overall everything I tried ranged from just edible to horrible.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone other than people who are determined to eat nachos and fries and such and are willing to resort to all these "diet" versions of foods to keep the calories down.
The food is disgusting! September 16, 2008

I have tried numerous recipe's from this book and it just comes out god awful. I collect cookbook's and own well over a hundred of them and I use every single one of them. This is the first cookbook that I want to sell back. I wouldn't give this cookbook to my worst enemy. The process food she suggest is just nasty. I don't understand how anyone think's this taste good. I subscribe to her website and had no idea the cookbook was going to come out like this. If she decide's to publish a follow-up to this one, good for her I will not buy it.
P.S. I re-read my review and gave this cookbook another chance. The recipes I tried (onion rings and peanut fudge) still came out bad. I'm sorry I can not recommend this cookbook. "Food you crave" and "The most decadent diet ever" are two good low-fat cookbook's I would recommend.
 Great for girls on the go September 16, 2008

I've tried many of the recipes in this book and I love how easy they are to make and how they actually taste good! The chicken pot pie recipe is my favorite so far. It's so easy and really delicious - tastes just like the fattier, calorie-laden frozen ones only better because you know how much healthier it is. I also really like that most recipes are for single servings (although easy enough to double, triple, etc).
Great book! September 16, 2008

Hungry Girl rocks! Miss Lisa's recipes are simple and Weight Watcher friendly. I bought one for my mother and friend too.
