I won this book in one of the giveaways and I am so happy I did. There are so many recipes that look delicious and very easy to make, and are 350 calories! It's nicely broken up into sections by meals (snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner). One of the things I love most is the weekly shopping list already made out for you along with the recipes for the products bought at the store. I have already tried 3 of the recipes and they have not disappointed! Looking forward to trying out more meals!! ( )

The Good Stuff

Photographs make the recipes extremely appetizing
Practical and relatively easy to follow diet advice
Most of the recipes I ate were truly delicious and filling - well except for that pea guac stuff - ewwww
Handy shopping lists and plans for following his sample diet for a month (but be prepared the first shopping trip could be pricey)
Many of the recipes are now staples in our everyday eating. I look forward to my Quioaoatmeal every couple of days ( I triple the recipe and just reheat it when I need it)
Greek Waffle recipe (nom nom nom & seriously filling - didn't even want to eat lunch till mid afternoon)
Appreciated the mention of having water with every meal, even snacks
I hate the term skinny
Excellent idea to clean out your pantry and practical advice on what to keep in your pantry/fridge/freezer at all times, that will help you keep to the healthy eating plan
Promotes healthy eating as a way of life and not just some fad dieting book. This is how you stay slim people. Fad diets do not work. Eat in moderation
Comprehensive index
The restock your pantry list is extremely handy

The Not So Good Stuff

Pea Guac - trust me - NASTY - but I think could be delicious if you worked with spices and maybe some garlic
Lot of prep work and lets face it all the fresh herbs, veggies and fruit is going to cost you a fortune (isn't it sad that to eat healthy and keep yourself fit costs so much)
Better suited for couples or for singles. Pain in the ass to figure how ingredients for making it a whole meal for a family (and lets face it my 5 yr old is sooo not going to try some of the stuff)
Hmm no mention of 3 glasses of wine a week - obviously this guy has either no kids or has a nanny (ok also reason I will never have six pack abs)

Favorite Recipes

Greek Yogurt Waffles (Seriously tasty and filling too)

Baked Quinoatmeal (enjoyed but used Almond/Coconut milk instead)

Pico De Gallo (this will now be a staple in the Rayment Household)
