The reason we bought this book is because we belong to a food group where we cook for three other families one day a week while they each cook for us on three other days of the week. We wanted to start making healthier meals so we agreed to buy this particular cook book. We have used it for almost two months now and have found many of the recipes to be tasty while others are less than desirable. It is all a matter of preference. Several of the recipes require ingredients not found in a regular grocery stores. We live in the Phoenix area and have found many of these "special" ingredients at Trader Joe's and Sprouts. We like how the meals are healthy but not extreme. It focuses on low sodium, low calorie, low fat meals and appropriate portion sizes. We would recommend it to friends and family due to the simplicity of many of the recipes, the wide variety of meal cuisines (ex: Eastern Indian, Carribean, Mexican, etc.), includes everything from soup to salad and swordfish to buffalo, and the multitude of recipes in the book. Just know that many of the meals are expensive to make and difficult to locate the ingredients.Read full review
This book has many recipes of your favorite foods cooked in a healthy way. Instead of everything fried and unhealthy this book teaches the new generation an old fashion way of cooking; flavoring with spices and natural flavoring! It also has a great introduction that really breaks down eating healthy and simplifies it for people who need help! I would also recommend following the Body For Life plan. No matter what your goal is (losing fat, gaining muscle, just being healthy) the book teaches you to have a power mindset to make small changes in your meals and exercises to just life a healthier lifestyle! Let's be realistic, we all know how to be healthy, the basics are not rocket science, but the power mindset is what you need for motivation in setting goals and really reminding yourself daily what your mission is and why you want it! I lost 50 pounds in my first 10 weeks!Read full review
My husband and I adopted this life style in 2007 with great success. Unfortunately, 1 recession and 3 kids later completely disrupted our mindset. Looking forward to starting this again. Bill Phillips is awesome!!!!

I like how easy it is to cook the recipes in the book. I also like that every recipe has a picture of what your cooking as well as a step by step process for making the meal. Body for life is great and this is just an added bonus to the entire program. I use this on a daily basis and have purchased it for two other people as gifts. Those people have used the book and principles from Body for Life to lose lots of weight and feel better about themselves.
This book is exactly what I needed. I use it EVERYDAY! I have been struggling trying to lose all the baby weight that I put on having two little girls so close in age. This book has gotten me on the right path. No more counting calories or Weight Watcher points anymore. The recipes are so delicious that my 2 and 3 year old eat what we eat. Bill's way of eating is something that I think will be easy to do for the rest of my life. I love that I can eat every 2 to 3 hours and still lose weight. I lost 12 pounds my first 2 weeks. This book is a must have!
