The Largest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Tasty Recipes Adapted from NBC’s Hit Show
Based on the NBC hit show “The Largest Loser,” this colorful cookbook is a plus to anyone’s library that is trying to lose weight or even just eat healthy. The promise of the book is that eating healthy can be quick and tasty AND it doesn’t have to mean bland, tasteless food- and the book delivers.
Readers will find a small review of the Largest Loser’s way to lose weight- which is sensible- you eat right and exercise. Then comes the heart of the book- over 100 recipes for the various meals like breakfast, snacks, etc. And unlike a lot of cookbooks, each recipe shows you exactly how many calories, stout grams, protein grams, carb grams, fiber grams, sodium, and cholesterol it contains- which is nice for a wide variety of other populations such as those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
A sensible and practical cookbook, a lot of people will probably get their money’s worth. Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if a shoulder problem keeps you from getting all the benefits of lifting weights.

I’ve recently taken up the leisure activity of buying cookbooks which, it was believed, would help me eat properly and lose weight. I’ve spent a LOT of time and money researching ways to lose weight healthily and tastily. I’m not a huge cook and most of the cookbooks I have bought recently left my mouth-watering but not satisfied.
Not so with this cookbook! The recipes are the simplest things I’ve ever made. I made the Not Really Fried Rice this last weekend, and it was so simple and tasty! Tonight, we are eating the Jerk Salmon. My favorite things to snack on to satisfy my sweet tooth are the graham-wiches. They are so tasty and so low in calories I don’t have to worry about it!
I’ve never counted calories before so the first week was a small hard for me to get used to – that and being careful about what I eat. But now, I feel like a pro and have total confidence on what I place into my body! Plus, the recipes have really added some ‘spice’ to our otherwise dull and mundane meal-plot.
I have both the Largest Loser Weight Loss Program and now the cookbook. I have lost four pounds in the last two weeks. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone wanting to lose weight and do it healthily! This is a fantastic investment in your health!

I was disappointed in this book, though the other reviews should have served as a warning. This book contains a lot of information about the “plot” – diet and exercise – and the show – trainers and contestants – before it gets to the recipes. Once you get to the recipes, quite a few of them show the influence of the author’s other cookbook seeming nearly quick-food like, while still others, coming from the contestants themselves show their own styles and preferences. For that reason, there were fewer recipes that really excited me than I had hoped. Still, there are some certain “keepers” and if you are a fan of the show, you will like this book.

at how much I like this book. It has recipes in it that are excellent and excellent for you, even if you are not struggling (too much) with weight.
The book includes over 125 recipes developed by a chef who was well known as a celebrity chef for her excellent tasting but still excellent for you recipes.
I gave this 4 stars because there is a section in the beginning that profiles all the people who have been on The Largest Loser, which was not my favorite part of the book, but for the TV show fans, they might like it. And, there is another chapter that is listed as the Largest Loser exercise plot, but it really does not go into any depth at all, and just mentions how excellent exercise is for you.
But, then you get to the other chapters, beginning with the 4-3-2-1 food pyramid, which guides you to how many servings of each food group are suggested if you want to plot a menu. That makes it pretty simple to plot. The rest of the chapters are Breakfasts; Hearty Snacks; Sandwiches, Soups and Stews; Sides and Salads; Main Courses; and Sweet Snacks. This is the real “meat” of the book (pun intended). Some recipes were not to my taste, but some, like the Breakfast Sausage or the Ground Turkey Nachos, or especially the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, are quite excellent tasting.
There are photos of some, but not all of the foods, but each offering does have calorie and nutrition counts included.
This could be a excellent addition to your cookbook shelf(ves), if you are looking for a calorie minded, but real food cookbook.

Last year I weighed 530 pounds. After being inspired by the TV show The Largest Loser, I have lost 140 pounds so far. I still have about 200 more pounds to go. I KNOW that with recipes and meals like the ones featured in this book, that I will be able to reach my weight loss goals. The thing that I appreciate most about this cookbook is that the recipes are simple and simple to follow. I am a bachelor and am not an experienced cook but this book makes me look like a pro. I have been questioned by so many people how I’ve lost the amount of weight that I have. The answer is simple…eat less (make healthier food choices and part control), go more (daily exercise) and drink lots of water. The Largest Loser has shown me how to lose my weight – The Largest Loser Cookbook is helping to keep me going!! PS The Blueberry Pancakes are out of this world! Yumm!!
