Body Love audiobook

4 Love your Body StarsIf i could sum up this book it would be this: If you take care of your body, your body will take care of you.The audiobook was fantastic! I love healthy, clean eating books...not diet books. This book is all about how to be in control of your body. Knowing what foods make you gain weight, knowing what foods triggers blood sugars spikes and just having the overall awareness that your body is tough and amazing. Weight gain is simply just a signal that our bodies cannot handle the excess glucose in our system. So what happens is it goes straight to our fat cells. Even though we know this in theory it's sometimes hard to actually do it in practice. This book will help you with that. And you won't feel like you have to be on yet another horrible, debilitating diet to be at your optimal shape. I highly recommend this for those who are sick of dieting, for those who have dieted and nothing changes and for those who simply love discovering new information about their bodies.

Nothing short of life changing! Great information, backed up by scientific research, all clearly explained to the non-experts. Her program and advice makes sense and is completely doable.

My copy was given to me by a friend. I saw it on her book pile and asked if I could read it... It's not exactly what I thought it was; but it is highly informative. Kelly LeVeque has read a lot of research and knows a lot about the topics discussed. *Note - This is first and foremost a weight-loss book. I was hoping for more exercise-related advice.

I won a copy of this book during a Goodreads giveaway. I am under no obligation to leave a review or rating and do so voluntarily. So that others may also enjoy this book, I am paying it forward by donating it to my local library.

Kelly’s approach may not be for everyone but I feel like I have learned a ton!! I love that her information is backed by since and tons of research, making me feel empowered to love my body and make good choices :) thank you Kelly.

The title "Body Love" is honestly a little misleading. This isn't so much a self-help book as it is filled with science and biology, broken down for everyone to easily digest. Excellent read if you're struggling to understand why what/how you're eating isn't feeling right or helping you with your goals. This is especially key for women: understanding blood sugar balance. Her "Fab Four" method - protein, fat, fiber, and greens - is what I base my nutrition choices and that of my health coaching clients on.

This book was a game changer for me. It really motivated me to make changes in what I ate. It was recommended to me by a nutritionist that was leading a Restart program I was part of. I wouldn't have succeeded in that Restart without Kelly's smoothies - and understanding how the components of her smoothies really help my body! I was better able to recognize the effects of sugar on my body, mood, and energy levels! I listened to her reading the book on Audible. I also purchased the hardcover copy to keep for reference. So glad that I did!

Great information! I love the smoothie recipes, and have already tried several. I relate to her idea of "loose structure", where you have a basic formula to follow, but don't beat yourself up for slip ups or cheats.

I heard about Kelly LeVeque while watching Hoda and Jenna on The Today Show and was really intrigued! The way she talked about food in her segment really resonated with me. When I first picked up this book, I couldn't get into it as much as I liked. The first 25% or so of the book is heavily focused on the science of how your body absorbs food and how Kelly's "Fab Four" Method works. I'm not someone who has a science background but I have looked into some of the topics she talks about in this section, so I was kind of familiar with it. That being said, Kelly goes really deep into the science in a way that almost went over my head. Since the book started off this way, it was hard to stay invested. The rest of the book does provide insight that is in more easily understandable. I love that there were example of meals and recipes that aligned with the Fab Four Method. Kelly's approach is one that I agree a lot with. It focuses on making sure you are eating balanced meals that hit all the macronutrients. I liked that she talked about Blood Sugar Levels. It's something I struggle with - sudden dips throughout the day.I'll definitely be using some of the Fab Four Method in my life!

Body Love changed the way I view health & nutrition. Kelly really explains the science behind how different foods affect our bodies. Her background in science/research makes her a credible source. This is not a diet book. It is not a one-size fits all program. It is a life style guide that can be catered to fit anybody. Kelly writes in a way that makes you feel like girlfriends chatting over coffee. I could not relate to everything about her lifestyle or the lifestyles of celebs she coaches but I could still use her framework to see what works for me. The book includes tons of yummy smoothie recipes and regular recipes based on her Fab Four formula. You don’t have to drink smoothies if that’s not your thing, they are just one tool to use. I feel like this book empowered me to make better nutrition choices for myself. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their overall health & nutrition. I’m looking forward to her new book “Body Love Everyday”.

I liked the book and the fact that there is lots of research and science involved. As with many lifestyle related books about diet they are not a one size fits all. Kelly offers some very sound advice of which I will try. Having studied nutrition for years I like the facts and how they relate to me. There is a good mix of recipes to support and aid in trying her method. I would recommend reading her book.

It wasn’t the easiest read because of the scientific evidence she packed into it, but worth reading all the way through for all the great tips and fun facts about the amazing foods out there for us! Loving the Fab Four shakes to start the day - currently trying to get my carb craved 3 year old to like as well. 😜

Lots of good ideas with recipes and smoothies for a healthy life. My husband likes the smoothies. I want to try several of the recipes.

If you're eating like most Americans, you're going to think of this is a diet. But Kelly makes the science simple. Avoid the foods that are slowing you down and potentially causing you more trouble than you realize. And, technically you can what you want, but you need to know how that's going to affect you.
