Love Food and Live Well: An Energetic Read

Love Food and Live Well by Chantel Hobbs, is an energetic, funny, and fun way to learn about weight loss, and living well.

With that said, I really didn't learn anything I didn't already know. There was no smashing breakthrough message in this book. Ms Hobbs does use faith as a basis for her book, and that until she realized she was fat because she didn't love God enough, she struggled with her weight. While I don't think faith is what helps you to lose weight, I suppose if it works for you then that is great.

Ms Hobbs is funny, entertaining, witty, and she makes a topic none of us like to discuss, humorous. I loved the chapter on Barbie, and her ahem proportions. While I did find the idea of her 80/20 method interesting, she did not elaborate even close to enough about how to use it to make it effective for anyone reading it. Maybe some sample menus and ways to use the method would have been better. The recipes were just OK, but I did find the exercise examples with pictures, to be very helpful, especially for beginners.

If you want to lose weight but find it extremely difficult to begin, Love Food and Live Well, can be the book you need to get you motivated to begin.
