From Publishers Weekly
Though she freely admits she's neither a nutritionist nor a doctor, more than 400,000 subscribers rely on author Lillien's "Hungry Girl" e-newsletter for healthy eating tips. In this congenial compilation, most of which is new to the book, she gives dieters a breakfast-to-dinner approach to eating lighter with scores of easy to prepare dishes. Lillien's recipes enlist low-cal substitutes for traditional ingredients; diet lemon-lime soda and sugar-free powdered lemonade drink mix, for example, go into her Magical Low Calorie Margarita. In some cases, such as her Rockin' Restaurant Spinach Dip, Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla and Dan Good Chili, she approximates high-calorie dishes without sacrificing too much in terms of flavor or texture. Unfortunately, those are the exceptions-the Ice Creamless Banana Split and Cheery Chocolate Cheesecake Nuggets (which calls for diet hot cocoa mix, Splenda, fat free cream cheese and sugar free chocolate syrup) taste more like punishment than dessert. Salads are well represented, though few are served with any kind of dressing, and meat dishes can run sky high in sodium. Tips for smart eating at the office, holiday parties, trips and the movies are appreciated, but the book would have benefited from the input of a licensed nutritionist or dietician.

Great Book
Love this book! I use it all the time and the recipies are great! I would suggest anyone who wants to eat better to get it.
Great cookbook for WW
Since I am attending Weight Watchers, many in our group have gotten the Hungry Girl Cookbook. I had to go through and put the Points on each recipe but this did give me a chance to read each of them extensively. One lady in our group decided to eat all new recipes from this book for a week and she lost 3 lbs. These are so easy to read and follow, and it is a fun book for ideas.
Fantastic!
A must-read for women seeking alternative methods to traditional cooking. Healthy options written out easily, with not a crazy amount of ingredients. Highly recommended!
