“Love Food and Live Well: Lose Weight, Get Fit, and Taste Life at Its Very Best” by Chantel Hobbs
Description:
Go ahead. Get passionate about the food you eat.
You don’t have to hide it. You can love food and lose weight at the same time! The secret, which you’ll learn about in Love Food and Live Well, is to know when to have carrot cake and when it’s time for just a carrot.
For most dieters, food is the daunting factor that trips up our best intentions to lose weight and get fit. Let Chantel Hobbs teach you that food is not the enemy! It’s our attitudes toward it that defeat us. Losing weight does not require being deprived of the foods you love and being forced to eat boring, tasteless meals, and left feeling hungry most of the time. Turn food into your ally by following Chantel’s 80/20 rule: A full 20 percent of the time, splurge on the foods you love and incorporate them into celebrations and social occasions. The remaining 80 percent of the time, choose food on the basis of delivering maximum fuel for your body and ultimate health. Simply by having freedom in what you eat, you can train yourself in self discipline and achieve sustainable weight loss, being free from food anxiety.
Using personal inventories, original recipes, food plans, and new, detailed exercises for strength training and aerobic fitness, Chantel will inspire you to live well in every area of life. What are you waiting for? Start the pursuit of a life lived well and healthy: body, mind, and spirit.

My Review
Think of the one person in your life who listens, guides and supports you…maybe a friend, or a spouse. That is what this book was like for me. As one editor shared, “Chantel Hobbs helps readers re-create their lives from the inside out. As you turn the pages of this book, you can’t help but feel that Chantel is right there with you to guide and inspire every step in your quest to eat better, move more, and enjoy a more fulfilled and more healthful life.”
The book is not like most diet books, in fact its not really a diet book at all…its about being a happier and healthier you! She gives you tips, recipes, work out plans, exercises that almost anyone could follow! You can turn food into an ally by following Chantel’s 80/20 rule. 20% of the time spludge on the foods you love. The remaining 80% choose food on the basis of delivering maximum fuel for your body and health. In this way, she teaches us self-discipline. I really that this is going to be my new motto when it comes to eating 😀
After reading her book, I really think that I have the motivation I need to start being more healthy. To get out there and start making a better life for myself. I know that I deserve it, and so do you!
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to live a healthier and better life. If you would like to purchase this book, you can do so at Amazon.com.
