Cooking Through Trim Healthy Table

Cooking Through Trim Healthy Table

I first found Trim Healthy Mama by accident back in 2013 shortly after Pearl & Serene published their first THM book. I was looking for freezer recipes and ran across a blog that listed lots of yummy sounding recipes, but after each recipe title it listed THM E or THM S. “What on earth is that?” So, I googled it, found the website, watched a video that explained some of the basics, discovered that there was a book (The 600+ page beast Trim Healthy Mama ), and checked it out from my local library. By the time I was only a couple chapters into the book I had ordered my own copy so I could write in it. It just made so much sense!

I’ve been on-again, off-again with following the plan, and in the process lost almost 40 pounds. I’ve been eating really poorly for the last 6 months and I’ve gained 10 of those pounds back (these photos just show the last 22 pounds lost). A lot of my eating habits have changed because of THM, which I totally believe is the only reason I haven’t gained back A LOT more. It’s time to get back on track and get below 200 lbs. for good!

So, I made a decision…I’m going to cook my way through the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook Trim Healthy Table. I have found it to contain my favorite of all the THM recipes, plus it has great ideas to turn the dishes into complete meals. I haven’t even tried a quarter of them, so there’s a lot to still be discovered. Along the way I’ll share my journey and my review of the recipes. I’d love to have you join me.

If you’re not familiar with Trim Healthy Mama you can check out the basics of their system in this video.  The Trim Healthy Table also has a section at the beginning that introduces the basics of the plan in a concise, easy-to-read manner. The authors, Pearl & Serene, actually have 4 books, and I have all of them. If you want more information than just the basics The Trim Healthy Mama Plan is your book. Trim Healthy Table is my favorite of the cookbooks, but  Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook is full of lots of good recipes, too. Maybe I’ll cook through that one next. If you are really committed and want to know where it all started you’ll find that in the original 642 page book Trim Healthy Mama.
