Do you associate dieting with eating bland, boring and mostly tasteless food? No wonder no one can stick to a diet! We’re on a quest to find healthy, delicious recipes that are still weight-loss friendly.
Today we take a look at the Jennifer Nicole Lee Fun Fit Foodie Cookbook, a recipe book that promises delicious food that will help you lose fat while still bringing the flavor.
What is the book about?
Jennifer Nicole Lee is an international fitness model and author of a range of books and DVD fitness programs. Constantly appearing on health, fitness and modeling related magazine covers, she knows what it takes to lose weight and look great.
Before she became a successful fitness model, Jennifer had her own long battle with weight issues and yo-yo dieting. If you are trapped in a similar position yourself, the Fun Fit Foodie Cookbook aims to get you out of that destructive cycle by providing you with a variety of healthy and delicious fat-busting recipes that you can make a part of your lifestyle.
The book consists of 18 chapters. The first 50 pages or so serves largely as an introduction, telling you about the cookbook and the philosophies behind it, as well as how to prepare yourself before getting down to the real business of the recipes in chapter 6.
You will find recipes for all meals of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner, and entrees. There are also recipes for specialty and side dishes, including salads, soups and stews, starters, healthy snacks and desserts.
If you love eating out or picking up fast food every now and then (don’t we all!), you’ll enjoy chapter 16, which is a short guide to fast food and eating out that will help you make more informed and healthy choices.
Sample Menu
For a little extra guidance, the book contains a sample menu that offers you at least 3 different options for every meal, including snacks. It’s a great way to plan your eating during the day without feeling guilty.
Another handy tool in the book is the grocery list. This makes it easy to start right away, as you can just grab it and go shopping. The list contains all the foods you’ll need to follow the recipes in the Fun Fit Foodie Cookbook. This is a great time and trouble saver.
The recipes included in the book are not difficult to put together, but aren’t boring either. Some of them include Indian-Style Beef Kabobs, Protein-Packed Sweet Potato Hash and Apple & Walnut Endive Salad with Fresh Cranberry Dressing. Just the names already sound much more appetizing than what you’d expect to find in a weight loss cookbook.
Meal plan
Another great tool in the book is the bonus section. Here Jennifer provides you with a 7 day meal plan, including a breakdown of the amount of calories, fat, protein and carbs for every day. People love to find any reason to procrastinate or not start with a diet. This plan gives you absolutely no cause for excuses.
You know exactly what to cook every day and what snacks you can eat. It’s so simple to get started and easy to plan your meals ahead, especially if you have a busy lifestyle.
What do customers say?

“I love, Love, LOVE this book. It is full of great recipes of delicious food, which are healthy! Yeah! I love cookbooks which have photos of the food and these photos are great. Jennifer Nicole Lee is also a great motivator within the book. She makes creating a meal plan easy.” Ciao Bella (Amazon.com)
“I thought the recipes in this book was fabulous! I made the turkey and stuffing for party and got nothing but compliments how juicy my turkey was and the stuffing was out of this world! I bascially tried almost all of her recipes (including her other books) and I have not yet found one that I didnt like.” Tricky1 (Amazon.com)
What we didn’t like
Some of the recipes include processed foods, which may not be to everyone’s tastes. This is a minor gripe though. Also, as is customary with JNL products, there are a lot of photos of her in the book and some promotion for her other products.
Where to buy the book
The book seems to be in short supply but in high demand (as of Spring 2013). We recommend you The Jennifer Nicole Lee Sexy Body Diet Review
