I was interested to hear the author's thoughts on food loss as she has lost over 200 lbs and been able to keep it off. So that alone gave her credibility.
The beginning of the book was VERY slow for me. She did a lot of "setting up" why it is hard to lose weight, the difficulties our culture puts on us etc etc. Literally at least the first 1/3 of the book was this. In my head, I was saying "I know this. I am experiencing this. That is why I am reading your book."

However, her book is easy to read and I did appreciate her concepts quite a bit. As my hubby and I have been trying to lose some weight this gave me some different ideas and I truly came to appreciate how she thinks about food.
Of course her concepts of seeing us a God's creation also makes her different than many other diet/nutrition/lifestyle authors.
Overall, I enjoyed the book - once I got into the meat of it.

I was given this book by Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for reviewing it. I was not paid for this review.
