I am beyond thrilled to have this week's guest, Brooke Griffin. She is the author of Skinny Suppers: 125 Lightened-Up, Healthier Meals for Your Family and the creator of skinnymom.com where millions of women from around the world “get the skinny” on healthy living. Skinny Mom is known for Brooke’s wildly popular lightened-up recipes that include a full nutrition panel and Weight Watchers points.
After starting a family of her own and struggling to lose the baby weight, Brooke set out to help women like herself cook full-flavored, lightened-up meals that don't take hours in the kitchen. Many of Brooke’s recipes weigh in at 350 calories or less and are high protein, low carb meals that don’t sabotage your healthy eating efforts and don’t taste like your typical diet food.
Chances are you have pinned Brooke’s recipes, tried one of her at home workouts on skinnymom.com or have seen her featured on Oxygen, Women’s Health, Women’s Fitness, GQ, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and other media outlets.
Get to know the real Brooke from her childhood memories of being in the kitchen with her Granny, to her faith-based family relationships, college and NFL cheerleading career and then fast forwarding to where she is now.
Two years prior to having her first son, Brooke had won Miss Fitness Universe and had been in the best shape of her life. After gaining 70 lbs. of baby weight, she knew this setback of hers could only fuel her passion for health and nutrition and would eventually help millions of other women just like her.
Giving God all the glory, Brooke talks about how she had fallen out of faith but quickly learned that in order to find divinity in life, in love, in business and in general, she couldn't do it alone.
