Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a fabulous fitness book that takes into account that most of us are real people with real lives and not stick-thin celebrities with round-the-clock personal trainers. Heather Moreno gives us permission to create food-and-fitness plans that really work. You don't have to be perfect to be healthy and beautiful. Heather shows you just how to do it in a practical, down-to-earth style that motivates you and comforts you at the same time. This one's a winner!" --Chellie Campbell, Author of "The Wealthy Spirit" and "From Zero to Zillionaire"

"An amazing fitness book that is non-shaming, empowering and a total fitness compliment. This is the book Dietitians have been waiting for to provide to their clients." --Diana Lipson Burge, Registered Dietician and Co-Author of "Un-Dieting"

"Heather's book gave me freedom from my food jail. I have always lived my life in a very 'black or white' manner leaving little or no room for flexibility. Once I completed reading her book, I realized that I am allowed to enjoy food and that I don't have to eat it all in one sitting or, on the contrary, starve and deprive myself. As a result I lost 8 lbs in 2 months and have kept it off for 4 months now. Thank you Heather." --Athena Schofield, R.N.
