Cooking Light Eat Great, Lose Weight! By DrainBead on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I have subscribed to Cooking Light magazine for over five years. When I was in law school, I decided I wanted to lose weight. I always loved to cook and to try new and interesting foods, and someone recommended Cooking Light to me. I am so glad they did! Not only did I find an interesting magazine with great recipes, but I ended up losing over 80 pounds by combining Cooking Light with the Weight Watchers diet (I'm sure I'll have another review for that). I couldn't have done Weight Watchers without Cooking Light, though. I love variety, and Cooking Light made sure that every month, I had new and interesting recipes to try.
The recipes in Cooking Light are for every type of cooking skill level, ensuring that beginners and gourmet chefs alike will be able to make the recipes and not be bored by them. They have several non-cooking features as well, including monthly sections on beauty, exercise, travel, and wine pairings. Each month they also have a section with only vegetarian recipes, and a section of quick and easy recipes for weeknight dinners. They always focus on ingredients that would be fresh and in-season, as well.
The picture in my review is a Honey Peach and Raspberry Cobbler that I got from a Cooking Light recipe and made from ingredients fresh from my local farmer's market. It's amazing that something that looks (and tastes!) so good could be healthy too. It's just one example of the many great things I've made from Cooking Light!

Another great magazine for sure. This is one that my mother has, and last Thanksgiving I recal a recipe being used that came from that mag. I also think it is a good price subscription wise, because it is one of her Clearing-house subscriptions. Those are the best deals. :)
Souds like a great addition to the kitchen!
I am always looking for good food to make that's healthy, I'll have to check this out!! Thanks!
Cooking Light is wonderful! I love trying the recipes in this magazine. Your cobbler looks yummy!
I used to read a friend's copy until she moved. I copied a lot of really good recipes out of this publication.
Informative magazine and Oh the food is so good.
