Throughout the numerouse seasons of The Biggest Loser, America has watched the contestants lose more than 25,000 pounds. In addition to the hardcore workouts the Biggest Losers put in each day at the Ranch, the most essential component of their weight loss plan is eating healthy foods that are low in calories--but big on flavor. At the Ranch the contestants learn about nutrition, portion control, and meal preparation--and by the time they leave the campus, even those who have never spent much time in the kitchen can cook wholesome, delicious meals for their families back home. In The Biggest Loser 101 Best Recipes, you''ll find the very best developed by The Biggest Loser experts and cast over the last seven years. Whether you''re craving pizza or a burger, pasta or cupcakes--you''ll find healthier, lower-calorie versions of all of your favorite foods right here, along with some new ingredients and flavors you may have never tried before. You don''t have to give up the foods you love to lose weight--you just have to make smarter choices. And now, you have 101 ways to start losing weight and get health--one delicious bite at a time.

As the nutritionist for NBC''s hit show The Biggest Loser, Cheryl Forberg not only knows how to help people lose weight, she also understands why they gain it in the first place. One reason Americans keep packing on the pounds is because our taste buds have become accustomed to the intense (and artificial) flavors of highly processed foods that overwhelm our senses. We tend to crave extreme flavors and textures—salty, fried, sweet, creamy—so when we decide to lose weight by substituting grilled chicken for a hamburger, we''re not going to enjoy our food...and we''re unlikely to stick to our weight loss plan. But what if you substituted your greasy drive-thru hamburger for Spicy Beef Satays, Beer-Braised Pork Tacos, or Sesame Prawns? How about if you replaced your morning doughnut with spicy Huevos Sofrito or Toasted Oatcakes with Berry Confetti? Chances are, you''d be too satisfied to miss any of the empty calories in your old favorites. In Flavor First, you''ll discover more than 75 recipes for delicious, all-natural entrées, snacks, appetizers, drinks, and desserts that are big on flavor and low in calories.Cheryl shows you how to create easy, family-friendly meals that will add instant flavor and excitement to your daily routine. From simple cooking techniques that create layers of flavor, to recipes for blending your own spice rubs and marinades, to whipping up sauces and vinaigrettes in minutes, Flavor First shows you that you don''t have to sacrifice flavor to lose weight.
