I am in love with this new cookbook
The back story: First off, I am not a cook. Second, Alex and I have started a diet. Woowoo for us. He is basing our diet off of the book called "Body for Life". I dont really feel like it is a diet, which is good. No counting calories or carbs or fat. It is just smaller portions of the right food combos.
We were at the bookstore the other day and the author of the book came out with another book, that goes with the diet called "Eating for Life". It has simple, easy, and semi-quick things to make. Everything is in the right portions and food combos.
I am in love with this book. I really dont know how to cook with the exception of a few comfort food dishes that I learned from my grams. I feel so comfortable cooking with this book. I dont have to use a lot of crazy ingredients and I am so happy that it is soooo easy for me, a non-cook. So I just wanted to share with my favorite ladies.

Hi Marina!!!
Woowoo for starting your new diet. I'm so excited for you!! A good friend and I have been going to the gym for a few months now, we go at 5 am, we've both lost weight but not sure how much, but we can tell in our clothes we're both wearing smaller clothes, more than anything I think we're getting healthy, toning our body and preparing to diet.
I've heard so many success story with body for life, as a matter of fact my brother lost a lot of weight with that book, well combined with cycling!
Enjoy cooking and trimming down!!
keep us updated and maybe post some yummy finds!!
Gl!
Good for you and Alex!
I just started a diet too...basically cutting out most carbs except for fruit and veggies. I have dropped 7 lbs since last Tuesday. I just feel so much better when I am comfortable with my weight. Matt calls it cheating because the Atkins works so fast, but I don't care-it works for me. Today I cheated and had a cheeseburger and fries from In-N-Out, but I give myself 2 cheat meals a week so I don't go crazy.
Keep me updated on some of the meals that you like that are pretty easy, I always need stuff to feed Matt and Katie and I am sure I can just pick at the meals created.
