My Best Friend Lost 6 lbs in 5 days
My best friend was super frustrated with her new diet
She was given a list of foods and was sent on her way. She hated everything she was supposed to eat and had no intention of sticking with it…
I invited her to come visit me
I had my hands full with my young twins, but I bribed her with a best friend weekend full of bonding and babies. I knew if I could just show her that healthy food could taste AMAZING, she could be successful…
She lost 6 lbs in 5 days
We had an wonderful weekend full of baby snuggles, best friend laughs, and delicious meals. And she lost weight. She left the weekend not only lighter, but with a whole new relationship with food
I Put the “Secrets” Into a Cookbook
“What is your secret? How did she lose the weight?”
Every time I tell the story of our best friend weekend, everyone wants to know how we did it… It was not magic, just REAL FOOD! HEALTHY FOOD! Food bursting with FLAVOR!
I’m Julie
I’m a Pharmacist, Chef, and Mother of twins. I believe that healthy food should taste AMAZING! If you don’t ENJOY eating healthy, you won’t do it (and your kids really won’t do it!)
I put all the recipes into a cookbook
It wasn’t magic. She didn’t take diet pills or starve herself. She lost weight by simply eating delicious food. I put all of the recipes we cooked that weekend into a cookbook. The BFF Weekend Cookbook
