In a country that is obsessed with weight loss it was no surprise that a women’s channel such as Lifetime jumped on the bandwagon. So when I saw the ad for cooking thin I was skeptical but interested. I caught an episode while on the elliptical today and have to say they successfully snagged my attention.

The premise of the show is to take the foods you love (mac n cheese, enchiladas etc) and make a lower calorie version without cutting the taste. The guests get a 6 week challenge to cook themselves down a dress size and most usually accomplish that and then some.

Today for instance they cooked a 1000+ breakfast casserole down to a 200 calorie frittata.

So check it out if you are interested, I want to snag the book as well. Now that I have had my work out and spread the word on cooking thin I am off to Cinco de Mayo happy hour – yeah I know…
