cook yourself thin

ok boys and girls, it's time to talk about cook yourself thin on lifetime network. Basically it is a show where three women meet with real women who weigh too much. The women have different reasons for losing weight but don't want to give up their favorite foods. These include fries, hamburgers with cheese, shakes, steaks, lasagna, pizza and cupcakes.
the challenge is to lower the calories of the meal to 1/2 or 1/3. And without losing taste. The show is really good. and the recipes seem good. here's how to find the recipes. navigate to http://www.mylifetime.com/ Click on the show advertisement, which is a you-tube sort of thing. At the end of it scroll down to the descriptors of the show and select the word recipes. it will be in blue probably. this will take you to the actual recipes which are downloadable and printable and even emailable.
there is also a cookbook, also called cook yourself thin. hunt it down. one plus about having food with fewer calories is that you can eat more sometimes! They preach a sort of easy formula for weight loss, which is that your target weight times ten should equal the number of calories you eat per day. So if you want to drop to 150 lbs, say, you should eat 1500 cals per day. Simple. But seriously, watch the show. I mean pizza for 475 calories per serving, incredible.
