Review: Lose Weight by Eating by Audrey Johns

May 18, 2016 By Joi Sigers

Lose Weight by Eating by Audrey Johns
Lose Weight by Eating by Audrey Johns
One of my favorite parts of being a food blogger is the opportunity to review new cookbooks. As a cookbook collector, they’re a great passion of mine, so getting my eager hands on the newest and best cookbooks makes me kind of giddy.

Okay… very giddy.

One of the newest cookbooks I’ve had the opportunity to review is Lose Weight by Eating by Audrey Johns. This beautiful cookbook is packed with great recipes for healthy, clean eating. You won’t miss the extra fat and calories because author Audrey Johns has replaced them with tons of flavor and creative combinations.

Book Description:

Lose weight by eating guilt-free, low-calorie, unprocessed versions of all your favorite foods, with this helpful, accessible diet and cookbook—featuring more than 130 clean eating recipes and gorgeous full-color photos—from the popular weight loss blogger who lost 150 pounds in eleven months.

At 275 pounds, Audrey Johns was unhealthy and unhappy—until the day she vowed to give up the “fake food” and taught herself to cook her favorites from scratch. Within eleven months, Audrey mastered the kitchen, began to take better care of herself, and lost more than 150 pounds—over half her body weight.

Now, Audrey shares her story, insights, and clean eating recipes to help you slim down. Lose Weight by Eating includes more than 130 mouthwatering recipes for family favorites, including pasta, scones, fried chicken, nachos, meatloaf, and cookies—all bursting with flavor and fewer than 500 calories per serving. Most recipes use simple and inexpensive smart swaps and are full of hidden vegetables that keep you feeling fuller longer, and all are picky-kid-friendly and husband-approved.

Imagine losing eight to sixteen pounds the first week and fifteen to twenty-five pounds a month eating skinny pizzas with only 125 calories per slice or 150-calorie cheesecake bars! Lose Weight by Eatinglets you enjoy these delights and more, such as “Jelly Doughnut” French Toast, California Club Pizza, Whole Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Onions, Veggie Packed Lasagna, Cheddar Stuffed Turkey Burgers, Chocolate Peanut Butter Dip with Fruit, and Skinny Cheesecake with Raspberry Drizzle. Audrey also provides a handy six-week meal plan and weight loss tips to keep you motivated.

Lose Weight by Eating is all about making the naughty nice. Giving your favorite foods a delicious, healthy makeover, you can eat what you love every day—and still shed those unwanted pounds.

Spaghetti Bolognese from Lose Weight by Eating 
After losing more than 150 pounds (150!), Audrey Johns started LoseWeightByEating.com and has, over time, helped thousands of people lose weight and get healthier.

Audrey hosts a clean-eating video series on eHow.com and writes food, wine, and travel columns for local magazines.

It was just a matter of time before a wonderful cookbook came into play and this beauty was well worth the wait.

In addition to beautiful pictures accompanying each recipe (love that), I’m also crazy about the information and inspiration that comes at the front and end of the book. Meal planners and even sample menus will help anyone get on track. The author has also included plenty of information on making her wonderful recipes very “kid friendly” – this really excites me because childhood obesity and diabetes can be prevented if adults will simply put the child’s health first.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, maintain your weight, get healthier, or simply enjoy good, clean, healthy food, you’re going to really, really love Lose Weight by Eating by Audrey Johns. It’s a wonderful addition to any cookbook collection. I know it’s one I’ll use again and again.
