Knowledge is Power!

This book was really interesting. Although I glazed over a little with the beginning facts, it was all so interesting and I know Kelly broke it down as simple as possible. I really enjoyed the 2nd half of the book where she gave lots of guidance. I know I'll be making some major changes in my life, but it sounds like I should- like everyone should!
Kelly is upbeat and bubbly as she reads the book. Although I bought the book on audible, I will be buying the actual hard copy because I want to hold it and reread sections. You do get a PDF when buying the audible book.
Thanks, Kelly! You are amazing!

Not what I expected

Thought it would be this wonderful and informative book however I didn’t start learning anything until chapter 11 out of 14 chapters! Most of her book is random texts from her clients. She seems like a smart girl but I was hoping for more information and less random information that had nothing to do with health and more to do with boasting about herself.

Skip the sales pitch

What did you like best about Body Love? What did you like least?

Having a hard time getting through this book (audio version) - it feels like I am listening to an infomercial for a helpful product - this is what you will learn! "Are you ready to shake and bake?" "Get off that blood sugar roller coaster and you balance your hunger hormones - fewer big crashing waves and more mellow rivers." Why multiple chapters of telling me what I will learn instead of just giving me the information? Probably because there would be no book to listen to. It is mostly sales pitch, client experience (even reading text conversations - always interesting, not!) and repeated information. Client, "OMG!" Me, "Hey girl hey!" - seriously? She started to give some detailed information and then said, "Lesson almost over!" Most of the information seems to be in the additional 150pg addition. I'm listening to this for the lessons, not the repeated sales pitch. While the information is good, skip the audio book so that you can just flip to the actual helpful information.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I heard the author in a podcast and was impressed enough to buy her book - so different. She went from serious and professional to infomercial salesperson.

Did Body Love inspire you to do anything?

I kept waiting...

The book had some good information in it, but I feel like it could have been an article, rather than an entire book. I kept waiting for more information, but it was really just a lot of testimonials and scientific jargon that I did not understand or care about. I wanted a simplified explanation of what was happening in my body and real life examples of how to change. I just don't think this is a good audiobook. It is probably better in print where you can look at the recipes and skip around the book.

Not for your average person.

Unless you are really into the science of nutrition this is not the book for you. Unlike what she promises, this is a difficult diet to follow all the way. Like the idea of smoothies for breakfast and she's got some good recipes if you like eating lots of meat. But to follow all the way is very difficult if you are an average person trying to be healthy. Bummed me out.

It's like listening to a therapist or a friend!

This book is a game changer. Kelly speaks to you like a capable, intelligent person. She doesn't dumb things down. She really wants you to understand the science behind cravings and lack of control so you know how to recognize your body's messages. She's super motivating and realistic. It's like listening to a friend or a therapist who can keep you get motivated but also help you dig deep and understand the why behind your messed up food habits. I'm feeing so great and have stopped snacking because I'm always so satisfied with my meals. I'm looking forward to updating this review with results.

Yass girl! So good!

I was blown away by this book! I am decently knowledgeable about nutrition and the science behind how we process different things, I can see if you were starting with zero knowledge how you could get lost. However, I feel if you pay attention Kelly breaks the science down in a pretty basic, simple way. This book is not a diet book based on a theory or how to lose weight, it is factual and gives you the tools to live a truly healthful life. I feel some of the bad reviews on this book are coming from people that live an unhealthy life and can’t comprehend the changes she is suggesting (from the few reviews I’ve read anyway). If you are looking for a quick way to lose weight the easy way (and gain it all back ASAP) this book isn’t for you. If you want to be the healthiest version of yourself and want guidance on making the real life changes to do so this is the book. For me when it comes to maintaining my nutrition goals knowledge is power... and motivation for me! Another thing that was interesting to read in other reviews is that a bulk of the book is about text from high profile clients and her boasting. I didn’t get that at all she mentioned a few that went along with a purposeful story. People are too touchy. Also if I was coaching Jessica Alba through her diet/nutrition I’d be mentioning it as well! I will be reading this book a few times to really retain all the info. So good!

Science

This book could have been written in an article. It was way too long. Kelly talked about science & texts from her clients. I couldn’t finished the book. It was too annoying.

Keto. THUMBS DOWN.

Just say no to Keto. This IS a diet book. Super bummed. She tried to say she didn’t put restrictions yet it’s full of them!! Keto is BAD NEWS.
