Hungry Girl Diet Review

So many diets these days only focus on what you cannot eat. No carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no oils. While they might give you some tips on eating the foods you can eat, you still are left feeling empty and craving those comfort foods you know and love.

I mean who really wants to eat like a rabbit the rest of their lives and miss out on onions rings and chocolate cake?

Well with the Hungry Girl Diet, you can have your cake and eat it too. This diet focuses on making healthy substitutions for the foods you know and love, without sacrificing the taste.

Who is behind the Hungry Girl Diet?

Hungry Girl was started by a woman named Leslie Lillien. She doesn’t claim to be a doctor, nutritionist, or chef. She is just a woman who was sick of denying herself of the foods she loves in order to lose weight.

Hungry Girl started out as a weekly email of recipes that she would send out to help people that were trying to lose some pounds but didn’t know what to cook. It has evolved from there and is now a book, blog, and her recipes have been featured on the Food Network and Rachel Ray.

The fact that she seems like just a regular gal trying out new things in the kitchen is appealing to a lot of people, obviously. But if you are looking for exquisite cuisine or advice from a professional in the medical field, this is not the book for you.

What is the Hungry Girl Diet plan?

Well, there really isn’t one. This is not the place if you want a perfectly laid out plan that you can follow step by step. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks that you could put together to make your own diet plan.

Basically, it is just like your average recipe book: meals that you can incorporate into your existing diet.

Does the Hungry Girl Diet actually work?

The Hungry Girl diet is becoming more and more a source for recipes that you can try out to have healthier options for your favorite foods. Although, it is hard to say if will actually give you the results that you are looking for.

There are hundreds of consumer success stories floating around on the Internet, but you have to catch on to the philosophy of the Hungry Girl Diet for it to make a difference long term. Sure the recipes are great, but if you don’t cut out the crap and replace it with the good on a regular basis for the rest of your life, you won’t have the results you want.

Conclusion

This is a great book if you are looking for some healthy recipes to try out when you are craving your old comfort foods.

These recipes are good if you are trying to change your cooking staples, but if you are looking for a specific plan that will hold your hand through your weight loss, you should try something else.
