I'm not really a girly-girl who starves herself or worries about what she eats, but I did put on a few pounds that needed to go. The recipes in this book are tasty and I have lost some weight. I've also been exercising, so I'm not going to say the book is completely responsible for the weight loss, but I think eating some of these meals really did help. Good luck girls!

This is a great book, and an even better extension of the Hungrygirl.com website. I literally use these recipes every single day, and they really help me keep on track with Weight Watchers. A majority of the recipes are for 1 or 2 servings, which helps me dive right in and make them for myself instead of trying to divide out the recipes. It's easier to double or triple the recipe anyway, so that isn't a problem when I'm cooking for more than myself. Most recipes are no more than 3 points, while many are only 1 or 2 points. I've been able to eat all of the foods I love again thanks to Lisa's great ideas for tweaking recipes. I highly recommend the book.

I absolutely love this book! Every recipe I have tried has been easy and delicious. A huge plus for me is the number of recipes for one person! It is SO nice to be able to prepare just enough for me. The tips in the back of the book to help keep us on track in different situations are fabulous.

As a huge hungrygirl.com fan the book did not dissapoint! While I have only tried a couple of the recipes it was exactly what I knew Lisa would turn out. The only (very small) disappointment was that the WW points were not listed on the recipes.

As a member of weight watchers... I appreciate any guilt free eating I can get. Also, the daily free newsletters are the bomb! Highly recommend this book.

Well, I had really high hopes for this book, but if you're looking to actually be healthy, and enjoy your food, and live a healthy lifestyle long-term, this probably isn't the book for you. Too many weird chemical and tofu substitutions. Even the recipes that seemed promising didn't really taste good when I actually made them. A MUCH better book is "The Most Decadent Diet Ever" by Devin Alexander. She uses real food that you can live with forever. Her "Chocolate Not Only In Your Dreams Cake", is absolutely to die for, and it has real brown sugar, not splenda, 5 grams of fiber (without adding fiber one cereal), tastes totally indulgent, and you get a real life size portion for 3 weight watchers points! Now that's what I'm talking about!!! And it was easy to make to boot!

I have been reading HG for at least a year now and I love all her stuff in her daily emails. I even have the insulated lunch bag! The recipes are easy to read and easy to follow. The stuff is fantastic and oh so good for you. I told everyone at work about it and they have purchased their own copies. You have GOT TO GET ONE!!!! And as she says....HG out!!!

I recently reached my Weight Watchers goal weight and this is just the kind of cook book as well as eatting tips I will need to stay at my goal weight. I am a follower of "Hungary Girl" on line newsletter and this goes right along with the newsletter. I look forward to any updates.

I used to love reading Hungry Girls newsletter, which I had signed up to have automatically sent to my email.
Then I began noticing that she just seemed to be a product pusher. The focus was no longer on whole foods and making them the center of healthy living; it was on the latest fat-free, low-carb, sugar-free product on the market.

I was hoping this book would be different, but it is just a regurgitation of all of her newsletter information and I have to agree with other reviewers' comments that it's not all that healthy.

Girl, if you're hungry, eat some real food - NOT Fiber One and Splenda!

Lots of good recipes however some called for item I do not keep on hand. Takes a little planning to make the recipes. Would be nice if it had more pictures.

I have been a "Hungry-Girl" for years and when they announced the cookbook I was giddy with the thought of lots and lots of guilt free food, and believe me I was not disappointed!! I have pretty much fed my family for 2 weeks from this cookbook alone. My 6 year-old loved the V10 soup, my 3 year old could not get enough of the Pineapple Chicken skewers. Every recipe has been SIMPLE, delicious, and totally filling. I have already noticed a difference in my energy levels, and the way my clothes are fitting, which is always a good thing for someone who is against dieting but still wants to lose weight and feel healthy.

I totally recommend this to everyone!!!

Most of these recipes are actually recipes my family will eat. Most cookbooks have about 10 recipes I'd even consider trying. Most of HG's recipes sound great and are Weight Watcher friendly. I love it!

This cookbook is amazing. I receive daily e-mails from Hungry Girl but with this cookbook, all the great recipes are in one place. If you use Weight Watchers to control your weight, this cookbook should be your Bible.

This is a great cookbook. I have been on weight watchers for several months now and have lost 33 pounds. This book gives great recipes for things you might not normally eat on a diet and cuts the calories
and fat in half with most recipes. I still get
to eat sweets and it makes me NOT feel deprived. I would recommend this cook book to anyone wanting to cut their calories and fat and still get great tasting foods.

All I have to say is yum,yum,yum, burp!, yum, yum, yum, burp! What a delicious book. I especially like the junk food junkie recipes. It has help limit my eating lunch out.

There are alot of quick and easy recipes in this book. Try the peanut butter brownies made with pumpkin. They are fabulous!

I sign up for hungry girls daily emails. So I tried the book- Is wonderful. For anyone trying to watch there figure this is the perfect book. You can crave something and, find a lower calorie anything in this thing !! I love this book !!

The recipes are fun and easy and oh so tasty. Sassy Pumpkin Soup is delicious! WW points are available online too.

This book is the greatest: it's easy to follow the directions, the meals are tasty, yummy and full-filling. I like the combination of 1 serving recipes to multi-serving recipes. Also, they satify my hunger.

P.S. I use this book in my daily planning of meals.

I was curious about this wildly popular cookbook, "Hungry Girl". The theme of the book seems to be "feed your every craving without piling on the calories". The book has recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, appetizers, party foods, desserts, baked goods, junk foods, and cocktails. It provides low-calorie versions of frozen margaritas, fudge, ice cream freezes, burgers, French fries, pizzas, onion rings, burritos, chocolate cake, brownies, cheese nachos, and other "guilt-free" junk foods. The book also provides cooking tips and shopping lists.

This book seems to be focused on providing recipes that are lower in fat and calories so you can eat your favorite foods without feeling quite as guilty. It is not a book that emphasizes nutrition or healthy eating. Hungry Girl could be helpful to people who are just beginning to become aware of what they are eating and are looking for a first step in changing how they prepare foods. It also would be of interest to someone not particularly interested in health, but just looking for some recipes that are lower-calorie versions of standard American favorite dishes. If you are looking for more of a change, I also recommend THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams.

Simple recipes, mostly for one serving, that use everyday ingredients. I didn't have to go out and buy fancy ingedients that I might not use again. Everything that I have tried so far has tasted very good and was quick and easy to make. Way to go Hungry Girl!

Had been on the email list for Hungry Girl for months and could not wait for the cookbook to come out. Was glad to be able to get it a less than recommended price and in new condition! Very pleased with encounter.

I haven't made any of these recipes yet but I just love reading her book and the newsletter I get through her website! Instead of a diet that tells you all the negative things like "Don't eat batter fried onion rings....ever", she shows you how to make them her way and compares them ingredient to ingredient with the fattening ones. It's a book full of pep and bounce and just a real feel-good about dieting. The only thing I miss is that you have to go to her website to see the photos of what you are reading in the book, but I understand the book would be more expensive with photos. Also, she gets more people to her website that way. The other thing I don't like is that she's very commercial and I know diet brands are paying her to promote their products. I hope she stays true, though and doesn't advertise something that doesn't test out as low fat, or taste bad.

I have tons of recipe books, but this book is filled with a great variety of recipes that are easy to follow, easy to find ingredients for, and easy to make. Her chicken tortilla soup is so good... I would match it against any restaurant.
Any type of food you like, there is a healthy, loc-cal equivalent in this book. A definate must buy!!!

This is a great cookbook with very "user friendly" recipes. It is wonderful that she has referenced all the recipes on her website with
the Weight Watchers Points value. I am enjoying trying these recipes.
I would recommend this cookbook to anyone who is trying to cook healthier and make better food choices.

I have been a subscriber to the hungry-girl email newsletter for about a year now and i check my email everyday anticipating what new fun and exciting things lisa has to say and the recipes she has come up with. This book is wonderful! it is like all of her best recipes in one place so i can finally go back and delete all the emails that i was saving (yes one by one ). ANDDDD I LOVE how most of the recipes are single servings! this book is wonderful! (and definitly get it online because in the store you pay around $18 where as here on amazon i found it for $10...with free supersaver shipping!!)

This book is totally wrong for a dieter. It doesn't emphasize any nutritional value in real, whole foods. Rather, this author uses over processed food that tastes like garbage. I'm a subscriber to her newsletter and I never make the recipes...learned that after 3 recipe flops...I was foolish to buy her book. Don't make my mistake! I promise there are healtier options out there, like Cooking Light and Weight Watcher recipes.

This is a fantastic cookbook. If you are looking into eating healthier, this book is filled with wonderful low cal, low fat recipes. I love that it includes Weight Watchers point values. I've made quite a few recipes from here and my fiance and I have loved each one. We're big fans of the dessert section:)

This is an awesome book. It has a lot of recipes that are easy. Very cool!

This book does not have enough recipes for healthy meals. Most of the book is focused on snacks and desserts. I think everything is coated in Fiber Bran! I don't think it will get much use.

I love this book. The recipes are easy to make and are portioned for 1 serving. Its very good for people who want a low fat low calorie foods.

If you are already a fan of Hungry Girl, or just getting started, this is the one book you must read. It has the recipes, tidbits, and great advice for anyone, whether you are "dieting" or not. Nutrition info, easy directions, and Weight Watcher points info (available on the website.) I've tired several recipes already, and I must say that the "Pumpkin" section is my favorite. You gotta get this one.

I am loving this cookbook. We have tried 2 recipes and both have been outstanding. The link to photos and weight watchers points makes this so user friendly. I gave a copy to my daughter and sister and they both think it is one of the most dieter friendly books they have seen. I think this is going to be one of my more used cookbooks.

I really like this book because it gives healthier versions of foods that everyone craves - like chicken fingers and chocolate. The only downside is that some of the ingredients are harder to find in regular grocery stores (like the tofu noodles). By the way, the chicken finger recipe is great!

I couldn't disagree with W. Mate's review more. First of all, I have made the peanut butter fudge several times and you can't even taste the pumpkin. It was fudgy and moist and sooooo good. I think the recipes are clever and fun. They have all turned out well, and I'm finding staying focused on my diet (staying under 1400 calories a day) much easier. The recipes featuring the almost-no-calories tofu shiratake noodles are becoming a staple in my home. I love this book!

Fair warning: This book is not for everyone, whether hungry or not. If you like the hungry-girl website, AND you like the recipes Lisa shares, you will like a lot of the recipes in this book. I love the site, love Lisa, don't love all the recipies (just as I don't like some of the products she reviews--no one can agree on everything). That said, the book is lovely. I won't make all the recipes--I wouldn't, would you? But there are enough very clever, fun, creative recipies in here to more than satisfy my inner hungry girl. (I actually took out the book from a local library and THEN bought it, because it was something I wanted to have around.)

I am not saying the people who didn't like the recipes are wrong, anymore than the people who treat this book as their food bible are right. There is something for everyone in here. Some of the faux foods are NOT going to taste like the "real thing" (the tofu noodles? oh my gosh, they make me gag, I cannot even picture using them in some of these recipes). But the book is so fun, it is not expensive, it has lovely little tips from Lisa and the rest of the H-G gang, and there a handful of recipes I can see using time and again.

All in all, I am very happy with the purchase.

Many of the recipes in this book are very good! I've tried a couple that didn't work out so well (the peanut butter fudge, for example), but there are tons of great recipes. Two things I don't like: Lots of recipes use artificial sweetners (I've eliminated those from my diet--if it isn't natural, it doesn't go in me), and some of the recipes aren't actually recipes, and they're more suggestions of how to combine things (like a Jell-O pudding snack with graham cracker crumbs on top... genious). But overall, it's very useful and has not only some great recipes but also some interesting information about and innovative uses for certain foods.

The book has good ideas, but many of the kinds of food are not what I like.

I love the Hungry Girl website, and the book is just as great! Great tips and tricks and delicious recipes!

I love her web site and read it daily!!! So this book was a natural extension for me to use along with her suggestions! Thanks for the great recipes!!!

I've been receiving Hungry Girl's daily emails for well over a year now. I enjoy the recipes, tips 'n tricks, and reviews of new products. This book was something I eagerly anticipated because stacks of printed-out recipes from the website ([..]) is much less convenient than a recipe book. There are MORE and NEW recipes, too, as well as more tips. I'm not surprised this book has made the NY Times Best Sellers' list. Buy it!

This is a great addition to any weight loss library. Hungry Girl has such great fresh ideas on making tasty foods and also gives great cooking tips throughout. Love her sense of humor and the way she identifies with everyone who is trying to lose extra lbs. By all means, add this to your collection of recipe books. You won't be sorry.

I heard about Hungry Girl on the Weight Watchers website and checked into the Hungry Girl website. When I found out that she had written a book, I was immediately interested and I'm not disappointed. She has lots of good tips in addition to the recipes. Very simple and easy recipes with nutritional information to help you make food decisions. I would recommend it to everyone who cares about losing weight or watching their weight.

Recipes are varied and seem to cover all the bases! Thrilled to see the nutrional data included so that Weight Watchers' folks can calculate Points Values!

I love this book. I do exactly the same type of dieting lifestyle as the author, always watching calories and fat, etc. However, some of the recipes can cut more calories with simple substitutions and still be full of flavor. Also, I love that there are nutrition facts with every entry.

This book is excellent. The recipes are easy to do, delicious and very satisfying. I've shared some of the recipes with family members who are horrified by the word diet and their comments were just positive. Another interesting thing is that you can go to the internet site and find pictures of the recipes and another interesting thing is that many of the recipes are for one person so it's quick to prepare and no leftovers. I really enjoy this book and recommend it!!! Hungry Girl Rocks!

I love this book. Onion rings that are good for you. yum, yum. Every recipe I have tried has been delicious. I will use this recipe book forever.

I didn't like this book. It has too many processed foods in it like fat free cheese or the like. This book is definately for some, but not for me. I am going to donate my book to a friend. She is into the fat free stuff. I like the real thing not all of those chemicals.

For all of us who try to lose a few pounds or a lot of weight from time to time, this is a great book to help you over the rough times when you want something tasty to fulfill that emotional need in the head or emptiness in the tum. The recipes in this book are easy and delicious. I would recommend this to anyone.

This cookbook is handy, but it seems like alot of common sense. For example, use low fat or fat free ingredients. But there are some good tips! I have yet to cook anything from the book(I have owned the book for a few weeks) because nothing has jumped out at me. But, I look forward to trying to cook some of the food soon!
