I received a PDF.file copy of this book in connection with an internet giveaway and the following is my honest opinion.

Having been retired for 5 years and having my OH retiring at the end of last year [and putting aside my dear’s current physical condition], I wanted for us to start eating heartier something we’ve not really done in the past.

The beauty of Ms. Rupp’s book is that while she’s written it as a 52-week plan, it’s not set in stone and you can either do it in any order which interests you or do several at a time in order to reap all the benefits the book has to offer faster.

Following the book as she has intended for her readers to do is akin to taking baby steps to attain reach your goal. Each week is comprised of 3 steps [primarily to begin with] and has a web link which goes into greater detail. It’s amazing how the small changes you’re asked to make will benefit you in the end. And at the end of each week’s item there’s an appropriate thought provoking quote.

I would love to see this book, which is currently only available as a paperback, converted to a KINDLE Edition so the greatest number of individuals could benefit from it. For wanting all those who read this book to begin having a healthier lifestyle, I’m giving this book 5 STARS. ( )

This is an excellent planner to develop and stay with a routine for healthy eating. It uses a 52-week guide for nutrition based on current science and common sense. Unique is the resource capacity to go to the author’s website to download additional guidance or information as you establish your habits. And the author reinforces with suggestions for meditation, gratitude and rewards and colorful charts to plot one’s success or failure. I particularly enjoyed the “Rules for a flat stomach” since mine is not and the use of Chia seeds and Quinoa (my daughters use these all the time). Less helpful was the exercise on a trampoline as not age appropriate for me and also the Mason jar salad routine since we pick our vegetables and fruit fresh every day. The author is compassionate, uses sound psychology, is not a food faddie and has a keen insight for healthy living. A good investment for good habits…
