Awesome cookbook. This cookbook was the beginning for me in putting the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan to work in my life. I have lost weight, sugar levels are returning to normal, and my overall health is improving daily. This is not a diet but a way of life. Eating healthy foods and having food freedom to be able to maintain this lifestyle without all the restrictions of diets. This cookbook is only the beginning. It helps to train you in food combinations for each fuel type your body needs. There are two methods of preparation, the purist for those who want to make everything from scratch, and the drive-by-sue's whose lifestyle may not afford the time to cook everything from scratch. The drive-by-sue's approach allow you to buy your products at Walmart, Kroger, etc. with or without any special ingredients. There are tips and hints on how to prepare these meals if you are on a tight budget. Once you begin to use the recipes you may want to checkout the many Trim Healthy Mama Facebook pages where there is a HUGE THM community to answer questions and offer new recipes at the same time. There are recipes in this book for those with food allergies and lots of recommendations on how to adjust the recipes for those allergies. I would recommend buying the Plan as well, simply because it explains all the scientific information behind this eating plan. THIS IS NOT A DIET! This is an alternative way of eating that will rid your body of toxins and inflammation that come from eating the processed foods (frankenfood) so many of us have eaten because we thought we were eating healthy. Every type of diet is very restrictive of the foods you can eat and before long you are sick of all the restrictions and quit. Weight or bad health returns. This is a way of eating for the long haul. At first some of the recipes seem so different than what most of us are used to. However, many folks on the Facebook pages report that when they choose to eat one of the other foods they usually find it doesn't taste the same or it makes them feel bad. This is because their body is now healthy enough to know when an offending food is eaten. This review is my own experience. I bought the books at full price. I have done Atkins, Keto, Paleo, Caveman Paleo and while I might have been eating okay, I was not losing weight or my sugar levels were not going down. I still use some Keto and Paleo recipes that fall in line with the plan for losing weight. This is the great thing about this program. It is about finding out what your body needs and the freedom to feed it the food that makes it healthy and a trim healthy person. Yes, we have men now following this plan, and teenagers who are tired of being obese and want to feed themselves healthy foods. I for one will never turn back. Cooking is a joy and I love being able to see the pounds fall off. Yes you can eat chocolate cake for breakfast! The recipe is in the cookbook. You can literally have your cake and eat it too as you watch the pounds melt away. You will use ingredients that are healthy and taste yummy at the same time. Many of the single serve cakes can be made in the microwave or baked in the oven. Your choice. That is best thing about this way of eating, the choice is yours to make! It is work to change old habits, but before long it is second nature and your are on your way to a new healthy you.

About the author
Food that I actually look FORWARD TO EATING!
There are two kinds of people in the healthy food eating world; the kind that think 'cauliflower pizza crust' tastes JUST LIKE OR BETTER than regular, fluffy, flour-y, pizza crust, and the people (like me) who think that is completely bonkers and are super sensitive to 'substitutions'. That being said... I bought this book along with the companion plan book after doing extensive research about the diet online. I normally am a highly skeptical person when I read diet reviews online because I feel like people have just deluded themselves into thinking that the food is good when it isn't :) However, I've been on Trim Healthy Mama for about 4 months now, and honestly, the only reason I have stuck to this way of eating (when I have failed miserably at many other diets ((I'M LOOKING AT YOU, PALEO)) ) is because I LOVE THE FOOD. And my husband loves the food. And my toddler who throws everything I give her on the ground, loves the food! Is every recipe in this book super awesome? No, I've made several that I immediately threw in the trash because I thought they were pretty gross. But there are plenty of recipes from loads of other cookbooks that I have made I didn't think were fit to eat, either. So let me tell you about our favorites... Chicken Parmy........ Ohemgee. Make it. Its so flipping good. We have this at least 3 times a month at our house and never have leftovers! Trim Zuppa Toscana.........Tastes pretty darn close to what you get at Olive Garden!! This is one of my person favorites from the book! Cheeseburger Pie.....my husband loves this...I mean, its meat and cheese and you can drown it in mustard and YUM. Banging Ranch Drums....drum sticks....and ranchiness...what more could you ask for?? Tuscany Egg Bake...I was REALLY skeptical about this one but it turned out to be one of my hands down favorite comfort meals! I could eat the whole pan! Thin Mint Chocolate Chip Shake...I make this ALL. THE. TIME. Easily 3x a week. I'm obsessed with mint chocolate chip ice cream and this hits the spot marvelously! Trimtastic Chocolate Cake...its yummy, yummy, rich chocolate cake. And the frosting tastes like fluffy chocolate milk. I could easily eat the whole thing by myself. Glosted Raspberry Muffins....muffins tops with cream cheese icing. I literally made myself sick one day because I ate 7 of these in one hour (yes 7!) We have a ton others! I definitely think this cookbook is a must if you are starting THM...it can really help you in the beginning to make sure you are eating what you are supposed to! I have lost the 15 pounds of baby weight from my second daughter that I have been carrying around and I haven't set foot in the gym once! I love eating this way...I didn't think I would but I was SO WRONG! I highly recommend it 1000000%!! Give it a try! You wont regret it!!

Love this way of eating, though the sisters are a bit quirky, it works for families.
