Trim Healthy Mama on the Go: Healthy Eating at McDonald’s

Ya’ll, I am a Drive-Thru Sue. No doubt about it. I love to cook, truly I do, but we’re just so darn busy (and eating out is easy) that I’ve resolved to embrace being a Drive-Thru Sue and find THM-compliant options at all my favorite and convenient restaurants to keep the trim train going while my family is too! I am sharing these with you in hopes that they will help you too, whether you’re a Drive-Thru Sue like me, or your a purist who occasionally finds yourself in a pinch and needs a resource like this to eat out… Read More

Sweet & Spicy Fuel Pull Stir Fry

Last week, my husband I completed a Fuel Cycle to help boost our metabolisms, stop feeling so sluggish, and jumpstart our fat-burning potential. And we did really great eating like we were supposed to until it came to the Fuel Pull Days. In case you’re not familiar, a Fuel Cycle goes like this: Days 1 & 2: Deep S meals Days 3 & 4: E meals Days 5 & 6: Fuel Pull Meals Day 7: Deep S meals You can read more about a Fuel Cycle here if you are interested. (post coming soon) The reason the Fuel Pull Days… Read More

Intro to Jim Stoppani’s Shortcut to Shred

One of my goals for 2017 was to start exercising regularly. Not hard, mind you, just regularly. Trim Healthy Mama has made my mind and body feel better than I have in years, but to be honest, I got a little burnt out by cooking too many complex meals (and desserts!) and constantly making sure that my meal was an S, or E, or FP. Trim Healthy Mama really works, but I wanted a break from it while still continuing my health and fitness journey. I actually got started working a out a little before the new year, the day… Read More

Healthy Strawberry Shortcake – THM:S, Ketogenic, Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Low Carb

Strawberries have always had a special place in my heart. As a child, I watched Strawberry Shortcake on TV and played with the doll. I would pick them by the gallon from our garden, then eat as many as I could while they were fresh, freezing the rest to eat during the winter.

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas (Trim Healthy Mama Authentic Pork Carnitas)

I’m always looking for flavorful ways to cook inexpensive cuts of meat in THM-friendly ways, and these Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas fit the bill perfectly. So tender and full of flavor, with tons of citrus and an almost-smoked texture, they are great for feeding large crowds, or for having leftovers of later in the week.

Basic Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Ice Cream (THM:S)

When I’m not gobbling down Vanilla Ice Cream, I usually turn my attention to something even better: Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Ice Cream. There are endless ways to use a basic Chocolate or Vanilla Ice Cream – from adding toppings like Hot Fudge, Caramel Sauce, Peanut Butter, Berries, and more. Or, you could use mix-ins like nuts, brownie pieces, chocolate chips (stevia – sweetened, of course) or even cookie pieces.

Simple Whipped Cream (THM:S)

One of the best parts about being a Trim Healthy Mama is the Food Freedom. Pearl and Serene introduced me to this amazing way of eating through their book, Trim Healthy Mama, and of course the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. It’s basically being able to eat all your favorite foods, and not worry about gaining weight – losing weight, even! – simply by learning what an S meal and an E meal was, and then separating the two of them. It’s as simple as that! New To Trim Healthy Mama? Read Trim Healthy Mama 101 This means that I can… Read More
