Hi! I am thinking about signing up for weight watchers to drop a few pounds and I wondered are there any kosher cook books for Weight Watchers? I would be so grateful if someone could help me! I have looked all day!
Best answer to the first person to help me find what I need! 
- It needs to be kosher because I am Jewish, not really a diet choice. Every recipe I find mixes meat and cheese and I don’t really have time to figure out what to do there

I don’t know of any. I also think that if you go through life being rigidly kosher, it would tend to be very difficult. I don’t think it’s necessary, personally, even though I did it for a while at one point.
Also, why would it be necessary to have a kosher cookbook? Simply substitute kosher chicken, for example, where it says to use regular chicken. If you only buy kosher ingredients, the dishes would turn out the same way except for being kosher.

Okay, I forgot about the "pareve" issue of meat and cheese.
In all honestly, it’s really not going to matter. I’ve been there and done that. But if you’re that into it, perhaps you, yourself could actually write a kosher/pareve cookbook.
But if I were going to write one, I would put in one of the first pages what a wise man once said: "It’s not what goes into the mouth of a person that defiles him, but rather what comes out of the mouth."
It appears that after you join Weight Watchers, they will provide you with an online tool to search for kosher recipes.
