My Thoughts on the Biggest Loser Cookbook

April 29th, 2008 by The Break, under Food. No Comments

Recently, I started watching what I eat and working out more.  having to keep track of your calories, fat intake, but distinguishing the different fats, your sodium intake, your portions, and also what can give you protein can be a daunting task, trying to balance everything.  One food item may be good in calories but it’s sodium may be off the charts (as is the case with most packaged foods.)

I became a fan of the show The Biggest Loser, and I began to take the tips that they shared on the show and use them in my nutrition and diet.  I also bought the Biggest Loser Cookbook.  It is a fantastic book for anyone wanting to still eat good food but still be able to watch their weight, and also be able tosee all of the nutritional facts in whole meals, instead of simply just one item, which you mix with multiple other items, so you can never get a true idea what your caloric intake, along with the protein and sodium intake.

It is written by a great lady who also wrote a book about fast food substitutes.  In that book, although the recipies she gives aren’t necessary healthy for every meal, if you are wanting to have fast food items and are craving them, they are healthier alternatives to creating the same type of taste, with less calories etc.

In the Biggest Loser Cookbook, she has complied some of her own recipies along with the recipies of contestants and trainers who have been on the shower.

One of my favorite recipies if the breakfast sausage that you make yourself.  It is really good, and can be used with eggs, in a sausage/egg muffin sandwich (better than mcdonald’s in my opinion) and many other great recipies.

If you are looking to diet or just begin to watch the foods you are eating, then I greatly recommend the Biggest Loser Cookbook.
