A Trime Healthy Mama meal plan with no special ingredients designed to be budget friendly and easy.

I finally caved.  I finally succumbed to the Trim Healthy Mama craze. Honestly this way of eating is not much different than what I have always eaten, it just changes the combinations, separating fats and carbs.  When newbies to the plan (including myself) start THM, they feel they have to buy all kinds of special ingredients to eat "on plan".  You do not! In fact, I recommend that you don't buy special ingredients at first and just get used to either eating S or E meals.  I decided to make a Trim Healthy Mama meal plan with no special ingredients to demonstrate how.  All of these ingredients can be found in a regular grocery store.  In fact, I shopped for almost everything at Aldi and spent under $100.

If you are interested in Trim Healthy Mama, I highly recommend both their newest plan book and cookbook.  You can find them at any major bookstore or at the library.
