Hello and Welcome to Simple Nourished Living!

My name is Martha McKinnon.

My mission is to balance my love of food and desire to live happy, healthy and slim and help you do the same. 

I'm fascinated by food, health and weight and how it all interrelates. I love learning and have certificates from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

I'm also a lifetime WW who continues to experiment with various ways of eating, most recently intermittent fasting as explained in Eat Stop Eat. I've come to understand that deprivation doesn't work and try to embrace the pleasure principles emphasized in French Women Don't Get Fat.

I've written several best-selling eBooks & eCookbooks.

While most of the recipes I share here can be considered light and healthy and WW Friendly, some are definitely NOT, because this is also where I chose to "file" all the recipes I have tried and liked. As an avid baker and kitchen experimenter, this includes a considerable number of cookies and other sweet treats. For me at the end of the day it is all about finding a balance.

My slow cookers are my number #1 kitchen secret for eating well while staying slim.

If you're currently working on eating better, losing weight or cooking more, I've posted many helpful (I hope) resources through the years, including articles, success stories, and tons of WW friendly recipes along with the occasional indulgence here.

Please enjoy my website until it’s no longer helpful.

Thank you for visiting!

Warmly,
Martha
