Lucy Beale

Lucy Beale takes a gentle approach to eating, wellness, and weight loss. She encourages her readers to eat well while savoring wonderful tastes and, yes, even comfort foods. She shows her readers how to tune into the body's needs for nourishment, comfort, and pleasure.

Over 20 years ago, Lucy was 50 pounds overweight and after years of diets, counting calories, and disappointments, learned to listen to her body, lost the weight and has stayed at a size 4/6 since then.

Lucy is a wellness coach who speaks professionally on Body, Mind & Wellness. Her blog is at http://lucybeale-weight-loss.blogspot.com/.

Lucy graduated Phi Beta Kappa in chemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder and is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. As a teenager, Lucy was a State of Colorado winner in the Pillsbury Bake-Off, which sparked her love of writing recipes and interest in cooking.

Lucy enjoys watercolor painting, Pilates exercise, and hiking the Utah mountains and canyonlands with her husband, Patrick.
