Product Description
The road to a healthier lifestyle starts with small decisions and better choices. Now, with The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps, you can get healthy by simply swapping your old food, habit, and lifestyle choices for healthier versions every day. With 100 simple swaps that cut calories, save money, and provide better nutrition as well as more than 30 mouthwatering recipes that put these swaps into action, getting fit and healthy has never been easier. Learn how to: - Swap lasagna noodles for veggies. Pasta used to be a guilty pleasure for many Biggest Losers—until they learned to make a healthy version. Try replacing lasagna noodles in your favorite recipe with slices of grilled zucchini or eggplant. Better yet, try the Veggie Lasagna recipe in Chapter 4!
- Swap traditional yogurt for Greek-style yogurt. Greek-style fat-free yogurt contains the same number of calories as regular fat-free yogurt but has twice the protein and half the carbs. It’s a great base for dips, too. Try using it in the French Onion Dip in Chapter 5!
- Swap sugary cereals for whole grains. The slow release of energy from complex carbs will help you feel full and keep your blood sugar steady and your energy revved. Or turn to Chapter 5 to make your own Hi-Pro Vanilla Breakfast Grains!
Throughout the book, you’ll also find advice and tips from The Biggest Loser experts, trainers, and the contestants themselves, who understand the challenges of fitting lifestyle changes into a busy schedule. These simple, budget-friendly swaps can make a major difference in your health and weight loss efforts. Start swapping—and losing—today!

Very easy, very informative. November 12, 2009 D. W. Francum (Hendersonville, NC United States) Very easy and understandable, amazing how many combinations there are for exchanges.The Biggest Loser Simple Swaps: 100 Easy Changes to Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle
Another book in the series November 11, 2009 E. Wickham (Anchorage, Alaska USA) This is another excellent book, filled with more practical and delicious recipes. The publishers are clearly getting ahead of the release curve, since pictures of contestants from early this season were in it. Well indexed and easy to use.
Easiest boo ever to help with your new lifestyle November 10, 2009 Mollymalone (Hershey, PA) This book is great. I skimmed over it initially and was shocked at how much information this had in compared to other BL books. Easy and simple swaps that I should have thought of. Fiber one cereal instead of bread crumbs. Pureed frozen fruit and low fat mil to make a healthier fruit ice cream sorbet instead of regular ice cream. I love this book and will be referring to this a lot I am sure.

I was disappointed in this book - almost sent it back - don't buy it.
Readers Lose October 17, 2009 M. A. Leahy 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Book is poorly organized for the efficient person. Caloric ( and other dietary guidelines)are in table form ( good), but the foods are organized into groups ( Dairy,etc), which means the reader has to constantly flip from group to group to find a food and its nutritional or dietary guidelines. Seems like an alphabetical listing (traditional method) is much easier to use. Also, in the fast food portion, there were some omissions of the more popular fast food restaurants. If you like to flip flip flip pages, and if you don't find your food, then re-think which other group/category this food could be listed under, then this book is for you. At least I wasn't eating while flipping pages, but some people might out of sheer frustration.
