“I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.”
–Mae West
As college women, many of us become more aware of the importance of eating healthy (I know I did!). The transition from high school to college brings about a very different lifestyle, and sometimes it is hard to adjust. For many of us, college is the first time we are on our own to figure things out—and that includes cooking and eating. This can really be a challenge! However, after reading Shelly A. Marie’s book Eat Well and Be Fabulous, I have learned some wonderful tips to eating right and staying healthy (on a college budget!).
Eat Well and Be Fabulous follows four women through their hectic days as college students. I bet you can relate to one (or more) of them! After describing their challenges in eating right, Shelly Marie, a registered dietitian, gives recipes, shopping lists and food choices to make eating right as easy as 3×3! (Grab your own copy of the book here to see what I mean!)
One of my favorite parts of the book is the Fast Food and Restaurant selections. Often times I feel like I cannot eat out if I want to eat healthy, but that’s not the case. Shelly Marie gives healthy options from some of my favorite places—Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Quiznos and Olive Garden—to name a few. She proves that we do not need to count calories or avoid all carbs to look and feel fabulous. By carefully choosing the healthiest options available YOU can Eat Well and Be Fabulous!

I love my copy! I’ve already had the peanut butter smoothie and the wrap with red pepper hummus and chicken! SO GOOD. I’ve never eaten hummus before, but Shelly’s book made me want to try new things
LOVE her book (and the fast food recommendations mmm)!
