This is Chantel's third book that addresses and deals with food related issues. I actually read her first book "Never Say Diet" several years ago and I loved it. It was real eye opening and very encouraging. Her first book told about her experience of losing two hundred pounds and keeping it off. Chantel now is a fitness expert and she travels around sharing the good news about how to become a more healthy person through eating right and exercising.
One of the things that I liked about Chantel's first book was that she talked about being a woman of faith (a Christian). In her new book, "Love Food & Live Well" she goes more into detail about her relationship with Jesus and how He changed her life. As a Christian I can totally relate to how Jesus is really the key to lifelong freedom from food addiction, and Chantel lets her readers know the same thing.
Now I realize that not everyone who picks up this book will be a Christian and I believe that even if you are not a person of faith you can glean wonderful practical information about how to live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and exercise. Chantel has included a whole section in the book with picture demonstrations of how to complete several different exercises. Also included in the book is a detailed account of the 80:20 ratio when it comes to eating. I truly believe if you follow the 80:20 plan that you can live a healthy lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight.
I highly recommend this book as it is loaded with practical helpful information on nutrition and exercise. As a Christian I love it because Chantel reminded me that if I ever am going to be truly free from food addiction it will be because I surrender control to God, and then allow Him to set me free.
Thank you Waterbrook Multanomah for this opportunity to review this book. I loved it!
