Lifetime Teaches You How to "Cook Yourself Thin"

Friday, May 1, 2009

I heard an ad on the radio today for a new Lifetime show called "Cook Yourself Thin," and it sounds pretty good - it's sort of a similar idea to Hungry Girl, where instead of eating no-carb, or doing a fast, or just having juice or whatever, you just learn how to make healthy versions of your favorite foods.

And the cool twist is that each week features a different contestant, and at the end of the show, you get to see how each contestant did with keeping up with the new healthier lifestyle -

The show premieres Monday, May 4th at 5pm- I am totally gonna watch and then if it looks good, perhaps I'll buy their book.

New Weight-Loss Show: DietTribe

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

So, I definitely judged when I first heard the radio ads for Lifetime's DietTribe - I mean, the title itself is already pretty ridiculous. However, I watched the first episode tonight and thought it was pretty good. It's about five overweight friends all trying to lose 30 pounds in 90 days.



They have a personal trainer, but they are on their own other than that (I think people somehow imagine a personal trainer just makes you fit magically, and I also used to be one of those people who said "Oh, well, if I had a personal trainer/nutritionist, I would be fit too!" - but I mean, you have to sit there and do the hard work - and for me at least, I only go once a week, so the other 6 days, and for all the nutrition aspects, I am on my own). So, I like that it is much more like what people deal with in real life as compared to the Biggest Loser. Anyways, it's a fun thing to watch if you're into reality tv!
