The Biggest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Delicious Recipes Adapted from NBC's Hit Show by Devin Alexander
This sequel to the previous year’s bestseller “The Biggest Loser” gives readers short background stories from some of the show’s many contestants. There’s also a section on the Biggest Loser diet and on exercise. Additionally, several "tips" are scattered throughout the book.
As for the recipes themselves, all but a handful are, unfortunately, for just a single serving [which is of no help at all for the many readers who prepare meals for families]. And while they may sound show more delicious, many have an extremely high sodium content, several call for artificial sweetener, and many are less recipe and more “layer this, this, and this in a parfait glass/bowl” or “sprinkle this over some fruit” sort of ideas that do not begin to qualify as an actual recipe.
Overall, this one’s a “Biggest” disappointment. show less

Cute way to profit off of the TV show. "Healthy", however is in the eye of the beholder. If you are a calorie, fat, fiber counting person look carefully before you indulge.

Great ideas for updating favorite comfort foods into healthier fare. The calories have been cut down appealingly, however, the sodium content of many of the recipes still concerns me. Overall, I would recommend.
