From the Author
I wrote this book with you in mind. I'm a busy mom with 1001 things to do in a day and I know how sometimes we can get so overwhelmed that we forget to take care of ourselves. After a serious car accident in 2007, I took a long, hard look at the direction my life was taking and decided to press "do over" and go back to school to study Holistic Nutrition. As a Certified Health Counselor, I worked with so many moms who had the same issues: lack of energy, food didn't satisfy them, constant cravings, always longing for more from food and most of all, wanting to lose weight and feel fabulous. Well, their prayers have been answered, because I've compiled ALL of my best tips, ideas, solutions and funny stories into one little book for you to "devour" or "savor" to your heart's content. With easy-to-follow, do-able weekly assignments, you'll be asking the sales clerk, "Can you get me a smaller size?" in no time. Welcome to the lusciously, delicious world of Real Moms Love to Eat. Yours in health, Beth Aldrich

Love! Love! Love this book! As a busy mom of a toddler and soon-to-be mom of a newborn, I'm constantly searching for ways to eat heathy and still be able to enjoy the foods that I love without the guilt. Real Moms Love to Eat was such an awesome read - the writing style is funny and realistic. The suggestions are easy to add into a busy day and really are about creating a lifestyle rather than a diet that you'll drop in a few weeks. I, too, have a health/nutrition background, so I really love the way that Aldrich is able to easily add such whole food options into daily meals. I definitely recommend this book, even if you're not a mom. It's a great reminder that food is supposed to be enjoyed!

At first I was skeptical whether Beth Adlrich's book Real Moms Love to Eat would apply to me. I don't love to eat, and the byline "How to Conduct a Love Affair with Food, Lose Weight, and Feel Fabulous" includes the kind of phase that makes me turn off my attention; I don't need to lose weight and for most off my life I've needed to gain weight. But when I scanned the table of contents I was impressed; all of the topics were sound principles of healthy eating. Beth sets her conversation about food in the context of having an affair - spicy, exciting, and enticing, but having an affair with your husband. She says "you know he's good for you, so you bring back the joy, the excitement, the flavor of your first exciting encounters. You can trust him. Food isn't a quick fix, a fling--it's a marriage, but it can stay spicy forever." Hmmm.... maybe this would be a good book for me! I have a good relationship with my husband, but not with food.
As I read the book I concluded that Beth's approach is great for people on the lower end of the weight spectrum as well as those at the higher end, because among other topics Beth focuses on your relationship with food and provides exercises to help you get in touch with your inner child and food memories. Beth also talks about the importance of hormonal balance, how to work toward it, and how to make healthier food choices. Those choices don't include "low-fat;" she encourages you to eat real food, not just real foods, but high quality real foods (in moderation).
These are just a few of the topics that Beth addresses. Her friendly best-girl-friend tone is easy to read and reminds you not to take things too seriously (except for the bit about the artificial sweetners). Each chapter is informative and encouraging, and Beth's ten week program helps you implement good eating habits that you might not have down yet (like drinking more water).
This book is a must read for any woman interested in being healthier or looking for more energy and balance in her life. (The information and encouragement in this book would benefit men too, either directly through their own habits or by helping them support the women in their lives.)

I thought it was an easy read and one I would recommend to family and friends interested in managing their weight. I should also note that this is not a diet book, as diets rarely work, but instead a new attitude on how to eat, which will ultimately lead to weight loss. Aldrich being the nutritionist she is, has some healthy and innovaitive ideas on how to manage your weight that can easily be incorpoarated into your day to day routine and still allow you to eat the foods you love to include chocolate!
