I LOVE this cookbook, even my personal trainer stole it from me and hasn't given it back yet!

This "cookbook" is pathetic. People need to stop relying on gimmicks like this tasteless, low-in-nutrition, highly processed garbage and learn to eat real food. Eat veggies, fruit, good quality dairy, good fats, whole grains, good quality eggs, and lean meats on occasion, make them as local and seasonal as possible, exercise, and you'll be fine. Buy a real cookbook and cook with real ingredients. Count your calories using one of the dozens of online calorie counting sites out there and you'll be amazed by the results. You will be fuller, happier and healthier if you eat real food from nearby farms and cook it yourself. You also need to get off the couch and start exercising and doing things around the house and yard for yourself. Fire the lawn care company, fire the cleaning service, cancel the cable, throw out the delivery menus, pull out the cookbooks, broom and the mop, and start living your own life! Lift heavy weights (whatever that means for you), do good cardio (means break a sweat, gym bunnies!), eat right 90% of the time and have good quality desserts and/or drinks the other 10%. You'll never miss a thing. If you don't like veggies, it's time to grow up. Keep trying them until you find the ones you like and start expanding your palate from there. Quit whining and start doing the right thing. If you own this book, recycle it.

Easy to follow recipes without a daunting list of ingredients, I know some people are critical of the author's use of mixes and premade items but for someone like me who doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and is looking for ways to cut calories, then this might be the book for you. I can vouch for the apple blueberry pancakes. I got the book from the library first but then ended up buying it because I can see it is a book I will go back to over and over again.
