Is this remarkable, breakthrough program? No, not really. What it IS, however, is a practical, no-nonsense book that seeks to educate readers about basic nutrition, as well as the psychological barriers to losing weight. Robyn Landis cuts through the fog created by the diet industry and confronts the obsession dieters have with the numbers on the scale, arguing instead for a more healthy, balanced relationship with food. I highly recommend this book!
This excellent book helps you to understand why you get fat—the bad habits and illogical drives that cause you to eat more than you need. Getting back into a healthy balance requires knowledge, not just starving yourself. If you have the knowledge, then you don’t have to starve yourself—but can actually enjoy eating, knowing it’s for your good and not for your ultimate ill health. Buy this book and read it, word by word. It can open up your eyes!
I purchased this book on a whim, and have never regretted it. Robyn Landis explains clearly and rationally why diets don’t work, how the body uses food, and why it stores fat. She outlines a balanced, common-sense approach that involves eating small meals at regular intervals (every 3-4 hours). I appreciated the author’s emphasis on becoming lean (as opposed to “losing weight”), and her emphasis on personal responsibility when it comes to health. Readers are encouraged to trust their own instincts and body signals when it comes to hunger and food.
It is possible to adapt meals to accommodate vegetarian preferences. Within days, this way of eating was second nature to me and I was very happy with the increased energy I experienced.
I highly recommend this book! If you are looking for a simple, healthy, and sustainable way of becoming leaner and healthier, “BodyFueling” may be for you.
This book really opened my eyes to some of the scientific facts about nutrition. Two months later, I’m 12 ‘fat’ pounds thinner, feeling great, happily eating all day long, and never feeling hungry. One of the main pluses is I’m over the ‘terminal’ depression I’d been sinking into over the last few years constantly thinking that if I was going to be thin, I was going to spend every day the rest of my life starving myself! What a relief!
