I discovered Kimberly Snyder through her previous books and quickly became a fan! As a certified nutritionist who has explored foods around the world; knows her craft ; and has worked with clients to change their habits and bodies; she has a unique and detailed perspective on food. Though I always thought of myself as fairly educated in health and diet, I found myself learning so much from her books and really thinking more about the foods my family and I eat! Some facts were literally eye opening!
This book is very different - it looks a lot more at the mind-body connection - that impacts how we eat, look and feel about ourselves. A lot of the book seems to focus on people who feel very self critical ; maybe lack self esteem; and these thoughts manifest itself in treating the body with distain not minding what we eat and how we live our lives. if you are generally a positive person and do not seek a need to change your mindset, this might not be the best book for you. However, if you look in the mirror and tell yourself you are not good, / thin / pretty enough ; this book is a powerful tool in changing those mindsets.; and in turn how you can transform your body.
The book looks at various topics, such as addressing childhood issues, old habits and fear; thinking beyond food, the root of fat and limitations of ego. Each topic has a case study from a client and is also accompanied by stunning photography in inspirational settings.
There is a really great section on food cravings; with advice for overcoming specific food cravings - such as keeping a record how you felt after you indulge in those cravings, healthy substitutes; and topics for dealing with each type of craving. And I loved the chapter on chakras - talking about energy flow, balance ; and food types that connect with each Chakra.
However, my favorite part of this book; is a reason I am a fan in the first place and loved the previous publications - the recipes. Though I have a plethora of cookbooks, the only standing recipe I go to again and again ,was from her previous publication -an awesome red pepper dip that lives in my fridge at all times! This book did not disappoint. The raw red pepper cream cheese endive bites are delicious and unlike most variations of cashew cheese that requires soaking and long prep times, thus took minutes to make and was so good, it was gone in minutes!! Another go to for me! The zucchini beauty sauce is also amazing and the Calcutta Kale chips are addicting...though you might have to play around with oven times and heat on this one, unless you have a dehydrator! Next on the list, the triple later raw chocolate mint cream bars!
I loved the fact that this book has a very different take on foods, health and why we do the things we do, while offering positive affirmations throughout! Kimberley has a very cool, inspirational philosophy and continues to deliver recipes that are truly different delicious and super easy to prepare which is always appreciated! I will continue to remain a fan and reference this book; through primarily for the recipes!
