First let me state I don't watch the show. I am aware of the kind of weight people have lost through the show as a result I decided to purchase this cookbook. As a general rule we (my family and I) eat healthy. We don't eat processed foods, EDTA, BHA, BHT, MSG, artificial sweeteners or a myriad of other chemicals which are very bad for the human body yet the FDA allows them to continue to be used in food. We eat organic as much as we can. I was hoping this was going to be a cookbook that took those type of things into consideration and wouldn't suggest using "fake foods". I was hoping this cookbook was going to contain some recipes I could make for my family which were obviously healthy, not as diet foods rather as regular food we eat everyday. Honestly I'm a little astonished they would publish this garbage under the guise of being healthy.
I cannot tell you how much it disturbs me to see they are actually encouraging people to eat hot fudge for breakfast?! How is that a healthy eating choice? There is a lot in there on desserts, sweets, artificial foods, low fat, low cal etc. In case you were not aware, just because it says it is low fat doesn't make it good for you, just as saying it is low cal doesn't. The FDA decided it is OK for manufacturers to say their product is transfat free if there is less than .5 grams per serving. Take a look at the ingredients of those foods you are eating, if it has hydrogenated (partially or otherwise) there is transfat, Interesterified fat is worse!
This really gives new meaning to "biggest loser", people think they are making healthy lifestyle changes, all they are doing is trading one bad thing in for another. It is like a cigarette smoker switching to cigars, or an alcoholic switching from Rum to Vodka.
