I haven't written a review in ages but I sure love reading everyone elses! I bought this book the day it came out and my cousin and I immediately got to work on following it to a tee! T? Who knows :) I'm short and about 30lbs overweight and in the first week or so I lost 7 lbs. I'd been slightly following some of her suggestions from the first book. Like the smoothie and the light to heavy eating. I swear if we would just follow everything she says in here 90% of the time we'd all be our personal bests without working out like crazy or depriving ourselves. I fall off the wagon and get back on from time to time, but it always works and you can always come back to this way of eating. My favourite recipes that I've tried are the mushroom soup, the probiotic borscht soup and the chocolate macaroons (damn things, maybe don't even try them). There are a couple like the raw pad thai that I didn't love and wouldn't make again but maybe they'll appeal to you! Kim is great, I'm grateful that she cares so much about health and how it affects the way we look and feel. Don't listen to the naysayers. I think there are lots of different schools of thought and sometimes different things work for different people but there is too much evidence, both personal and otherwise, to prove to me that meat (I've been a veg for 10 years) and dairy (taking it one day at a time) are bad for our health. I've struggled with acne my whole entire life. It's been such a painful struggle and it affects every aspect of my life when its bad. Cutting out dairy and increasing the raw fruit and veg has helped immensely. I'll throw in an additional plug incase anyone else is experiencing the same, but I LOVE eminence organics skin care. The probiotic line has really improved my skin, even on the days when I fall victim to the siren call of cheese. Another book to check out with good healthy food is Gwyneth's It's All Good (just replace her olive oil with coconut :)) God Bless

this book is the best thing to happen to me this year. i have had body issues my entire life and this book is helping me to radically alter my relationship with food, my body and society. i went out and just bought clothes that fit and i eat what i want when i want it and listen to my body when its full. god, this is something EVERYONE needs to read. i especially loved the inclusion of various perspectives on disability, race and trans* experiences as they intersect with diet culture. everything else is real, practical meaty goodness that you can apply to your life and run with. awesome job Jes on a much needed book!

Dr. Fuhrman's book makes so much sense and the recipes are sooooo delicious. This is an eating plan I can live with. I've been eating this way for less than a month and I feel so much better already! I have so much energy and rarely get the horrible afternoon fatigue that plagued me. And I've lost 11 pounds eating as much as I want!! If you have diabetes get this book and follow Dr. Fuhrman's advice. I believe it will change your life.

I had bought Rebecca Rather's "The Pastry Queen" book because it had been recommended by a friend. I was so happy with the book that I bought this book and now I can't put it down...I am serious! I am actually "reading" all of the recipes and stories and looking at the pictues as if it was my own family. Try the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Brandy Butterscotch Sauce. It will become your favorite dish for every family gathering. I love this book...and all of her other books!

I noticed this book sitting on the table at a relative's home and started skimming through it!  I was almost instantly hooked on the fresh concepts, great recipes, and believable success stories I read.  When I got home later that day I ordered the book on Amazon.com and literally devoured it when it arrived two days later.  I am already fully engaged in this eating plan and I am already down a full size!!  I am not hungry with this plan due to the inclusion of these "resistant carbs"  and I am eating simple, inexpensive food which is easy to prepare. One bonus is that the new oatmeal with diced apples and raisins offered at Mickie D's fits this plan perfectly [how convenient is that!!]

If you have been frustrated with your weight loss and need a fresh start get this book.  I love it and so will you!

I fell in love, and recommend it to everyone looking for inspiration to make a lifestyle change. It's awesome how you can actually eat so many fun and delicious foods. You aren't really limited and I definitely wouldn't call this a "diet" Highly recommended & I hope each and every one of you guys that decide on purchasing it enjoy it as much as I did. The exercises are perfect, and make you drip! I am now reading it for the second time!

I received "A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet" for my birthday last week!  To be honest, I had not heard of the author or her blog yet, but I was glad to get a new book to read, and just from the synopsis on the cover, it looked like it would be a good one!  I haven't had very much free time to read, but yesterday, I stuck the kids in the kiddie pool and started reading the book.  And kept reading!  And every spare moment I had throughout the rest of the day, and then until 2AM, I read the book from cover to cover!  She is just hilarious through-and-through...what an awesome and beautiful storyteller.  I wasn't ready for the story to be over when it was, but I spent my free time today enjoying the blog, too!  If you want your heart to be completely warmed, read it! Be prepared to call or write all of your loved ones and tell them how precious they are to you afterward! :o)  I thought that it was only I who would pack the van to the rafters with cooking gear and drive 7 hours with two preschoolers to spend all weekend cooking a birthday/anniversary/baby shower meal for 30 relatives and friends!  Just to be with my family and loved ones who I know won't always be here, to show them how much I love them. She reaffirmed that all of that effort is totally worth it, and I'll keep doing it as long as I am able because I love them all more than life itself.

I am THRILLED for this book.....(And how awesome of Amazon to have it delivered right to my office today).  I spent my lunch our sticking post it notes on all the new recipes that I want to try for my Egg Hunt/Brunch coming up, and my next book club meeting at my house! Carrot cake Pancakes and Tropical AM Smoothies!!!  I have a 15 yr old daughter and a 13 yr old son that I have on board with Hungry Girl....I even have my husband loving the swap of the McD McGriddle- ( I won't tell him it's a "CHICK GRIDDLE")I have to make him double servings but Hey~ he's up for trying ALLL the recipes.  A staple in our home are the fake fried onion rings.  I'm psyched about getting started with this book and I plan to pick one up for my mom who today has just told me that she's beginning to count calories and getting herself down to a healthier weight.  This book is going to be a GREAT/ FUN way to kick off her weight loss, and for me to keep recipes interesting at home.

I think between the books and the website we can have HUNGRY girl meal swaps between my mom and my two sisters (and even get my kids in on the act)

Thank you HUNGRY GIRL!!!!

This book seriously changed my life.  I look at food completely different now.  This was my 1st book from Tosca. (I have purchased 4 total)
Commit to yourself, follow this Stripped Plan & I promise, you will be happy you did.  She teaches you how to measure YOUR food for YOURSELF by using YOUR hands.  Please see attached picture.  Your measured food will be different from your friend, your husband, etc.  You will not be hungry - you will be eating every 2 hours.  For me, working in an office, I ate on all the odd hours starting at 7am.  So I would eat at breakfast at 7am, snack at 9am, lunch at 11am, another snack at 1pm, and another snack at 3pm.  Dinner at 5pm, and sometimes a snack before bed, if I needed it.

She addresses more than just weight loss too.  After you have gotten some weight off, she recommends buying new bras to make your breasts feel/look better, whiten your teeth so that you have confidence to smile more & she has an entire chapter on the benefits of your body & skin from drinking water.... This lady is completely awesome!  This books is so much more than a meal plan - it teaches you a new way to live.

I just received my copy of the book and have already read it cover to cover! It is amazing. The tips are so eye opening. The book is accessible and translates perfectly into everyday life. The best part is that the food is nutritious for children and delicious for adults too. Thank you for the book! It is invaluable.
