Cooking for yourself

Based on the successful British series and popular "Cook Yourself Thin" cookbook, culinary experts Harry Eastwood, Allison Fishman and Candice Kumai show guests how to lose their unwanted inches by replacing extreme dieting with clever cooking. Each half-hour "Cook Yourself Thin" episode follows one guest as she learns simple ways to transform her favorite high-calorie meals into delicious, healthier fare. The meals are prepared step-by-step, comparing the calorie count of the original version to that of the "Cook Yourself Thin" recipe. The guest is then sent home with the ingredients, tools and tips necessary to make healthy changes in the kitchen. After six weeks of living the "Cook Yourself Thin" lifestyle, each participant is visited at home by the hosts to check on her progress.
