"Cook Yourself Thin" television show

[blackbarbie]

Has anyone ever watched this show? It comes on Lifetime daily at 5pm EST and each episode (there are (2) 30-minute episode) features a guest and how they will transform their favorite comfort foods into low calorie versions. There are 3 hostesses (all women) and they show you step by step how to make the low calorie versions of the foods and then they compare the calories of the old version and then the version they came up with, often cutting the calories by 50%. The whole principle here is substitution and making really small changes in products (that don't alter the taste at all) but definitely alter the amount of calories.

They give the guest a nice gift basket with supplies and then they come back in 6 weeks to see if the guest has "dropped a dress size". Lifetime sells the book called "Cook Yourself Thin", but they also post all the recipes and full episodes on their website as well.

Some of the recipes include:
-Stuffed French Toast Sundaes
-Turkey Chili Crunch
-Apple Cinnamon Cake
-Low Cal version of Creamy Mac n' Cheese
-Sweet and Sour Pork Chops
-Carrot Cake
-Oven Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders
-Chewy Oatmeal Raisin cookies......................

and more!

I hope you enjoy the website as much as I have, but if you can, I would suggest catching the show or either watching the full episodes online.

Thanks for posting this! Several people have asked me about this show, but I've never seen it and didn't know what channel it came on. I'll definitely try to watch it.

I've caught 2 episodes and have the rest on DVR! I love that show already. I think it's so great to learn how to eat healthy without starving yourself and have TASTY food!

Ive seen a couple of episodes so far and I like it. I think they try a little too hard with the six week checkup to prove the weight loss; so far I havent really seen the huge results they see; maybe I just need glasses. Of course that just means the people are probably cheating, lol. I didnt know you could print to recipes so i'm excited about that, thanks for the link.

I made the French toast sundaes for breakfast this morning, and they turned out well...Very Tasty! :yep:
