The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook: Recipes for Weight Loss Freedom

Great book

I have noticed many people have said stuff like, "I wouldn't even want to try the recipies", and that they are "unconventional". Well, lets face it - the reason you (and I) are fat is that we don't eat healthy foods. If we liked eating all of the vegtables and spices (instead of salt) in this book, then we really wouldn't need it would we?So I say, if you are serious about eating healthier, give it a try. I have found some of the dishes that sounded the least appealing actually tasted great. The only reason I gave the book a four instead of a five is that I have had to tone down the seasonings and experiment with flavors I am more used to, but other than that most of the recipies are great. I have been using it 3 weeks now and have lost 12lbs.So, don't knock it till you've tried it.

haven't used it yet still on the start , pictures look good and if they are like the starter program it will be a great purchase. Arrived on time and in a great package.

It's a book

Great low calorie recipes.

This is a book I needed to get to help me loss weight. I have lost 60 pounds but by buying weigh loss dinners in the grocery store. I am now ready to use the recipes in this book to cook meals and continue on my journey of my last 40 pounds that I have to lose. The book is an excellent source for people wanting to cook lower calorie meals for themselves and their families.

I was really looking forward to this book being released and purchased it as soon as it came out. I am a huge Dr. Phil fan and have followed the weight loss challenge since January 2004 with great success. I expected this book to be full of easy to prepare recipes and food ideas for following a better way of eating for life. What I disliked about this book was the review of "The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution" and the rapid start plan, etc. I was also expecting a book featuring recipes that are favorites of Robin and Dr. Phil, so I was deeply troubled when reading the introduction which states: "I confess that, with the exception of firing up my grill for barbeques, I don't do a whole lot of cooking. And so, for the Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook, I brought together an innovative and expert cast of culinary and nutrition experts to develop these recipes, many of which were inspired by our family's favorite foods". That is where the book, and I must confess, way of eating, really lost all appeal to me. Why should I follow eating advice from a man who gets his meals prepared by someone else? Awww, come on! We could all lose weight if we had a group of experts preparing all our meals for us! The recipes are nothing great, either. Anyone for Curried Lentil stew from page 138? How about Poached cod with warm pineapple salsa from page 130? Save your money, purchase a copy of Light and Tasty or Cooking Light magazines from the supermarket.

I first checked out this cookbook at the library and was so impressed with it, that I came to Amazon looking to buy it. It has all the contents you need with each recipe: Calorie content, fat, sodium, etc. to plan a great meal, not only for you but for your family as well. TASTY, healthy good stuff to eat INCLUDING desserts! Kudos to Dr. Phil!

I love the recipes in this book. Yes they do take some conversion for us here in the UK and yes they can be time consuming to prepare and make, BUT, that is kind of the point if you're following Dr Phil's Weight Loss Solution. The preparation gives you time to not indulge in the instant gratification and therefore by the time you eat you know when you've had enough... I can't explain it but those of you who have read the ultimate weight solution or seen the shows will know what I am trying to say. Highly recommend the South western pork tenderloin and the pot roast southern style.... amazing

waste of money

just another recipe book

Good book
