Book Description:
From the well-known health and lifestyle coaches of the widely popular website Lean Healthy Ageless (formerly Ageless Woman Living) comes a practical, science-based diet book that unravels the mystery of why women gain weight as they age and includes a sustainable plan to permanently lose the pounds and inches.
Eat, Live, Thrive Diet shows women how they can not only lose excess body fat permanently but also improve their overall health in critical areas such as brain function, resistance to disease, slowing down external aging, and increasing energy. This highly effective eating plan is presented in a compassionate voice by two experienced health coaches who share personal experiences of battling weight and emotional eating issues. Whereas most diets are short-lived or require substantial upkeep to maintain, Eat, Live, Thrive Diet is a viable eating plan that women can adhere to indefinitely.

In addition to minimizing sugar intake, the plan emphasizes the importance of short-term intermittent fasting--a simple lifestyle change that makes it easier and more effective for many mature women to reach their health and weight loss goals. The book also highlights health risks and drawbacks of many popular fad diets that can be harmful on a long-term basis.
My thoughts:
When I saw this book offered for review I didn't hesitate to request it. I am definitely at the age where it has become easy for me to gain weight. I am also limited to what physical exercise I can do because of medical reasons.
I am not a person who diets and have never tried any of the fad diets because I have always believed that eating sensibly does the trick. Do I eat sensibly all the time? Absolutely not because I'm human and have rarely turned down a cookie or piece of cake. I appreciated this book and the authors recipes for healthy but flavorful food but most importantly I appreciated their encouragement and sharing their knowledge with readers. I loved the message of positivity because that is an important part of any journey we all take in our lives.
I haven't gone all in with some of their advice because most of the medication I take should be taken with food so I haven't fasted but I have done it in the past and didn't find it to be a problem for me. I have cut back on my sugar intake although I have not eliminated it for a significant period of time. I will be doing that as soon as I feel comfortable doing that. The fact that there are three phases made it less overwhelming for me and made perfect sense. So, I need to concentrate on a healthier lifestyle to include more physical activity, choosing healthier foods and remaining positive. So far I am not on track but I have been implementing changes each day and will continue to do.
The authors share so much of themselves and their personal stories that we know the ladies are just like the rest of us which I really liked. One of the other things that I loved about this book is that most of everything is doable, no personal chefs or gym memberships just common sense things that will promotes a healthy lifestyle. I will definitely keep this book handy so I can refer back to it when I need a little encouragement and highly recommend it to others who want to make a gradual change in their lives, too.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to write a review. All opinions are my own.
