Real Moms Love to Eat

 It is true...who doesn't like to eat? I know all of us moms out there are guilty of hiding that mug of hot cocoa behind the cook book while making dinner or stashing that candy bar in your sock drawer and sneaking a piece here and there without your kids noticing.  I am here to tell you that you need not be ashamed of the fact that you LOVE to eat. We all do. I've found a book that is for us Beth Aldrich’s book, Real Moms Love to Eat and Food Affairiates.
I believe that by making all things from scratch will save you calories and tons of preservatives, therefore, making your sweet tooth not as guilty to satisfy. Instead of running to the store for a box of Oreos, try making them yourself.
By eating six times a day you will keep your metabolism boosted and constantly working. That is good. We need our metabolism working at its best and this will help accomplish that. I've recently read that by starting your day with a large glass of lemon water will get your metabolism off to a great start and also by saving your glass of water for the END of your meal will also help in aiding digestion. Instead of diluting your digestive acids throughout the meal, save that drink for the end.
Whole food are another great way to taste on the lips without seeing it on the hip. Whole food are great for the whole family and it is a wonderful way to start your kids onto a healthy way of living. Don't get me wrong, I am a lover of all things DESSERT and I will treat myself now and then but I do have a few rules to abide by in doing so; 1. It has to be made from scratch. 2. If possible, substitute sugar for Agave Nectar or honey. 3. Try to use at least half whole wheat flour.
Real moms really do love to eat, so don't be ashamed. Pull out your aprons and start cooking. This book has great ideas and recipes for success in the kitchen and discusses "how to Conduct a Love Affair with Food, Lose Weight and Feel Fabulous (Penguin Books, NAL, January, 2022). This is a how-to book about learning to love and savor the foods that YOU like to eat, not foods on some crazy diet plan."
