Trim Healthy Mama~book review and amazing results!

I have never worried about my weight. I guess because I never had too. I have always been petite with curves in the thigh and booty area. Even after gaining weight from having my boys I was able to shed without extreme dieting, the weight naturally fell off over time. I eat pretty healthy over all and have most my life. I never deprive myself of the occasional treat here and there either.

Last year I had so much nausea (from my health issues) I lost weight and I felt uncomfortable. My clothes hung on my body. I didn't have my womanly curves anymore. I was just under 100 lbs, my normal weight is around 115-120 lbs. I am only 5'2 so 115-120 is my normal healthy weight. As my nausea started to go away I felt starved. I ate and ate and ate some more. I made many poor food choices. I started to crave sugar like I never have in the past. As a result I gained much more weight than I had lost. My jeans grew tighter and soon they wouldn't even button. So yet again I felt very uncomfortable and unhappy.

I am NOT into radical diets to loose weight! I know many women that are on a different diet every few months. Most often they are restrictive and unrealistic. I see these women loosing weight initially, but soon after they start "cheating" and gain the weight right back. Then they are on to the next one, and the cycle continues. I see their diets interfere with their lives and their metabolisms slow with every diet. In the end their health suffers.

This is not what I wanted for myself. Nor do I have the will power (or time) for such restrictive diets. 

About a month ago I was reading a christian womens magazine and I saw an add for a book called Trim Healthy Mama. This description grabbed my attention.

"No more fads!"

A common sense guide to satisfy your cravings and energize your life.

I felt a pull to purchase it.

I received the book about a week later. Once I opened it, I devoured it! Over 500 pages about nutrition, health, super foods, hormones, recipes, fitness and much more. I was so impressed with the wealth of information this book has to offer. This book sheds light on a Biblical way of eating. YES, God tells us in the Bible how to eat right and be healthy! Coinciding with a Scriptural perspective on diet and nutrition there are many scientific facts and studies to back everything up.
These ladies are amazing!

This is a eating plan! Not a crash diet! It is about eating for health and energy, and that in turn will bring you to your God given natural and healthy weight. I think no one should starve to be skinny!


I immediately applied the nutritional principles to my diet. I don't feel deprived, in fact I feel completely satisfied with all the amazing food I get to eat. No counting calories, no weighing, no expensive food, no cooking separate meals for myself. I even enjoy desserts and LOTS of them! I eat chocolate and slather a ton of butter on my food (yummmm) AND I still dropped the extra weight!

I feel more energy and my jeans fit again!!!!

I have my healthy curves back.

 Before.
I cringed when I saw this photo.
My jeans (although hidden under my top) wouldn't button.

After!!


I think everyone can benefit from reading this book. You don't even need to be a mama.
Even men can learn a wealth of information and achieve a healthy weight, although they might want to skip the hormone chapter. ; )


I highly, highly recommend this book!


The book is available here for purchase: Trim Healthy Mama


Maybe I can talk the lovely ladies into giving one away here!? Hint, hint!
