The cover of this book suggests it is a diet book. Or a weight loss book. It is so much more than that. It is a first hand account of a mother, who through societal pressure felt she had messed up her first 3 births (and kids). Share Sharny's journey as she tells you how she went from being the slave in her life, feeling trapped as though she were in a coffin called "bad parenting", with each new birth, she felt like she was driving a nail of failure on herself. Too tired to function, not enough milk, etc etc. All she wanted to be was the perfect mother to her children, but through lack of confidence, stopped listening to her intuition and became her worst enemy. With baby number 4, she decided to do things differently, very differently. Through ignoring society, listening to her inner voice and really focussing on herself as a mother, she turned her life around. She changed her eating to be for wellness and best quality breastmilk, and as a result lost 24kg in 8 weeks. But if that's all you get from the book, you only read the cover. Inside is a treasure trove of advice, and the courageous story of a public figure who through honesty to herself, turned her life around in a way that any woman can relate. And benefit.

About the Author

Renegade fitness experts Sharny and Julius shot to stardom very quickly when their first book, Never Diet Again was released to the public in June 2011. The book was an adaptation of their step by step escape the diet trap program they created for their private clients. So successful was the program in changing people's lives that the clients literally begged Sharny and Julius to make it into a book, which would be more accessible to friends and relatives overseas. After the release of Never Diet Again, the couple realised that while very successful, it was just another weight loss solution in a sea of thousands, if not millions of solutions. But people as a whole were still getting "fatter and sicker". After much soul searching and deliberation, they decided that losing weight wasn't the problem. The motivation for losing weight was the problem. Fat and unhealthy was the norm; healthy, athletic people were the minority. The word 'fat' had become offensive. Exercise was too much of a chore. That's when they decided to write the book FITlosophy 1. In their words, it is "a collection of parables for athletes". But after consuming it, readers agree that it is far more than that. It is a profound set of philosophical viewpoints that cut right to the heart of the human condition. Brutally honest, courageous, confronting, and often humorous, the stories told in this book reveal a part of the human psyche readers didn't even know was there. FITlosophy 1 will sit with the reader for a long time after the words have actually been read. In January 2012, they collaborated with renowned artist Ayesha Henderson to create a children's book that had "beautiful bright pictures and an easy to read, but important message that they could share with their kids". Where Have All The Pixies Gone? was released in October 2012. In February 2013, they wrote FAT Kids: Help your child to escape the obesity epidemic and released it for free on their site and on Amazon. It became an Amazon bestseller overnight. At the time of publication, Sharny and Julius are writing the sequel to FITlosophy 1, which promises to be their magnum opus, their "greatest gift to humanity". They are regulars on daytime TV, radio and newspapers in their home country of Australia.

Don't waste your time.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019

I wish I could give 0 stars to this book and program. Basically she followed a bland low carb starvation diet and basic workouts that you could find for free on YouTube.

Unhealthy unsustainable diet plan.

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

So unhealthy! The nourish program puts you at around 600 calories a day. Anyone would lose weight by starvation. It is not sustainable. Even sharny and Julius are up and down gaining and losing over and over. They have no qualifications. The materials that you get are basically a one page pdf of food lists and then their videos of themselves.

Not even a full program

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021

If you want 10 videos of workouts and to be told "eat two eggs for breakfast and only steamed vegetables adding up to 600 calories" for $70 feel free to buy this product. Or maybe send me the money instead . . . I'll send you some good you tube videos that provide better advice.

Their videos are for repairing your vagina, not your stomach.

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020

The videos are not for repairing your stomach, they are for repairing your vagina. Totally not helpful if you had a c-section. I asked for a refund and I was denied.

Dangerous diet.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

This is basically how to have an eating disorder. The food amounts to a starvation diet. The workouts? You can get them for free on YouTube. Please avoid.

Says alot.. without saying anything

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013

The concept is great but this book fell dismally short of what i expected out of a "fit mum" book. This book is more of a memoir that says alot without saying anything at all. I was hoping as I approached the end of the book that she would provide the fitness guidance I was looking for, but alas it was not to be. Aside from a couple of pictures of exercises that u can grab off the internet and advise to basically just eat vegetables, that was the extent of it. Now I am not saying it is all bad, it had some really fun dialog that mums can relate to, and indeed I did book mark a couple of items (not related to fitness) but it just wasn't what I was lookimg for.

Not what it claims to be

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2021

The entirety of their claim to repairing diastis recti is to suck in your abdomen and hold. To squeeze your hips and put and egg in your vagina to improve core strength (in your cervix) . These are things you can find on Pinterest yourself FOR FREE. What's worse is that Pinterest has many ACTUAL exercises that really help no charge. This is a NO MONEY BACK program. Save your money. I do not understand how someone can charge so much money to tell someone to suck in their abs and it's legal.
