Good Enough Health is a practical guide for families who want healthier eating without the pressure, panic, or perfection. If you are tired of confusing advice, tired of negotiating every snack, or tired of feeling as if you are one "bad" week away from failing, this book gives you a simpler way: a flexible framework you can repeat, even when life is busy and children are picky. Lila Montrevi breaks down family nutrition basics into decisions that actually fit family life: how to build a balanced plate for kids without turning meals into a lecture, how to use protein and fibre to keep everyone steadier between meals, and how to set snack ideas for kids that prevent grazing all afternoon. You will learn realistic picky eater strategies that reduce battles while still moving eating skills forward, plus a meal planning routine that starts with your real calendar rather than your best intentions. Hydration gets the same no-fuss treatment, with simple defaults for healthy family hydration that do not require constant reminding. Most importantly, Good Enough Health shows you how to handle sweets and special foods with boundaries and calm. You will learn how to offer treats without guilt, avoid using food as reward or shame, and recover smoothly from parties, holidays, and hard days. This is a no diet culture approach designed for parents and carers who want less stress, more consistency, and quick weeknight dinners that feel doable - not perfect.

- Lila Montrevi writes about food the way most families live it: between school runs, late meetings, tired evenings, and the stubborn hope that dinner can be both nourishing and kind. Her work is rooted in the belief that health is not a personality trait, and that the most sustainable changes are the ones you can repeat when you are busy, distracted, or under-slept. She is especially interested in the emotional weather around food - how quickly rules become pressure, how easily treats become currency, and how much relief arrives when a household chooses clarity over control. Lila grew up around the everyday practicalities of feeding people: making something out of what is on hand, stretching a shop across the week, and learning that comfort and nourishment often share the same plate. She draws on the long tradition of family tables as a place where culture is carried forward - not through perfection, but through repetition, shared tastes, and small rituals that make life feel held together. In her writing, she returns again and again to simple questions: What can this family maintain? What lowers friction? What helps children trust their bodies while adults keep sensible boundaries? Her aim is to help readers build a calm, workable food culture that supports health without turning meals into a daily test.
