“I started training for my first fitness competition at the age of 35 when I got tired of always feeling so tired. I was a vegetarian who ate only 1-2 meals per day, so needless to say, eating 6 meals a day and incorporating lean meats into my diet was a bit overwhelming. How do you eat 6 meals a day and stay interested in your food, without spending several hours a day in the kitchen? This cookbook saved me from another abandoned health and fitness goal with her creatively simple meals. Kim’s recipes are quick and easy with just enough ingredients to make them interesting and not too many that I close the book and put it on the shelf with the other 20 recipe books that still look unused! Her interesting combinations of lean proteins, fruits, complex carbs and spices, are not only healthy, but also unbelievably delicious… and not to mention, match my fitness competitor meal plan perfectly! I am in love with the Shrimp Lettuce Wraps and Chicken Waldorf Pita (even though I hate chicken!), but I look forward to breakfast so much I can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning! Kim makes drab oatmeal into a tasty treat, and I often whip up her Peanut Butter & Banana Protein French Toast or any of the pancake recipes for a healthy dessert-like indulgence.”
