I was incredibly excited to pick up the Eat Live Thrive Diet. I was put into induced menopause when I was 32 and have struggled in the years since to balance my hormones, lose the weight I gained after my surgery, and feel like a normal woman again. There have been other books that I have read that were filled with a lot of fluff, and I was hoping that the Eat Live Thrive Diet was different, but sadly it feels like a lot of the same information rehashed. What I did find refreshing is having faith mixed in with the journey to a healthier me. While many reviews I've read thus far find that off-putting I actually enjoyed that aspect, and believe that is what redeemed this book for me.

I was not able to just sit down and read it cover-to-cover, but instead flipped around, reading portions that pertained to me. I wish I could say that there was some huge "ah-ha" moment, but sadly there wasn't. It felt more like reminders of things I've already learned and really do need to put into practice, which isn't bad, it's just not what I was expecting.

With this program there is a membership that can be purchased at an additional cost through the Eat Live Thrive Diet website, which can be helpful for some to submerge themselves in this program and have that accountability, but I felt like, for me, it was a lot thrown at you.

As far as the program itself, I do agree with intermittent fasting, and have actually started to incorporate this some in my own diet regimen and have lot a little weight, but the more I dived into this book the more confusing the program as a whole became to me, and that was discouraging.

I honestly don't know if I would purchase this book myself, but I do think it is a decent resource that I could see checking out of a library.

There are so many reasons for me to love this book. The Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is
*Age Appropriate--There is extra help for women over forty-five.
*Easy to use--It is divided into five parts: Preparation; The Plan; True Food; A Thriving Life; and Recipes That Satisfy.
*Recipes--I am especially happy to have the recipes and I already have most of the ingredients.
*Motivation--The authors certainly know how to encourage and motivate! Reading this book is almost like having two personal coaches in my home and I appreciate all of the tips that they share.
*Additional Resources--There are two websites and a Facebook page that will offer more support as I continue my journey.

I appreciate that, along with the unlimited advice and information, there is also a chapter that deals with the natural aging process. Chapter 14, Beauty and the Beast, reminds us that our bodies will naturally change as we grow older but we can still try to be the best that we can be. We are reminded that "First, we do our part to take care of our bodies---our only vehicles for this present life. Second, we renew our minds with truth so that we can find peace and contentment." (p. 178) Or, as King Solomon very wisely proclaimed "Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life." Proverbs 16:31

I believe that most of us want to improve our physical and mental health and if we can lose weight and look and feel better....certainly added perks! Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is geared toward women facing the age-old problem of metabolism slowing down in midlife but its content certainly isn't limited to just this age group. Women of all ages will discover how to eat, live and thrive.

I only have good things to say about this book and I heartily recommend it.
I received an ARC copy of this book from the Waterbrook & Multnomah Launch Team but this is my honest review.

#PRHpartner This book is the most practical diet book I have ever read. As a health coach I have studied at least 99 diets and read many diet books. This book is different. EatLiveThriveDiet allowed me to discover my body’s needs, as well as my reactions to certain foods. My mother also experimented, as we did the book together. We have different body types yet this book worked for both of us. This book covers the power of the mind and how it affects my body. By recognizing the wrong thoughts and realigning with healthy thoughts, I will improve my health. As a health coach, I can help a client lose weight fast. But can they keep it off. From now on, everyone who approaches me about weight loss, I will recommend EatLiveThriveDiet. I too, plan on reading this book regularly to fine tune my life style.… (lisätietoja)

As some one who was recently diagnosed with food allergies, I knew my diet would have to change. It did. But not in a way I wanted. I was suddenly giving up hope because it was so hard to find food I could eat, food I would enjoy. But, then, not long ago, I received this book. It’s a self help book called Eat Live Thrive Diet.

Since I’m pushing 40, I know my lifestyle isn’t the greatest, but this book. This book is amazing for helping me. There are things in this book to help with boosting your metabolism late in life, for dieting without the big E word mixed in. There are amazing elements to this book that will make you feel refreshed, awake, healthier. I loved, too, that this book had some recipes in it that I could actually use because it uses things like coconut oil or milk, versus the dairy milk that I’m allergic to.

As an added bonus, this 4 star worthy book has a website to go with it, where you register your email and boom. You’ve got other elements beyond the book that these two talented ladies created. Definitely a life gamechanger in my opinion! If you want a fantastically put together self help book, grab this one. You will not be disappointed! I look forward to seeing what these ladies hand us in the future!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Waterbrook Press and was under no obligation to post a review, positive or negative.*
