About this audiobook
Celebrity favorite health and wellness consultant Kelly LeVeque shares her secrets for losing weight, attuning ourselves to our bodies’ needs, and freeing ourselves from food drama in this essential wellness guide.
In this inspirational yet practical book, the nutritional consultant and holistic healthcare expert who has helped celebrities improve their health and achieve their goals shows you how to get beyond the food drama of cyclical fad diets and feel and look great by eating well.
Kelly has studied the science behind familiar diets to understand how they trigger the body to lose pounds—and why they aren’t sustainable. Instead, she offers a better choice: her four-step Food Freedom program that helps you find your wellness balance between eating enough and deciding how you feel. Once you find your balance, you will lose weight, lose fat, increase lean muscle mass, and drop at least one size. You’ll also enjoy thicker, shinier hair; clear, glowing skin; a remarkable improvement in your overall appearance; reduced joint pain and other inflammations; increased energy; and better sleep.
Kelly’s Food Freedom program helps you set yourself up for success, eliminating cravings, mood swings, and other symptoms caused by food drama. Start your day with her Be Well Smoothies which pack protein, fat, fiber, and carbs to balance your blood sugar and keep you full and happy. After breakfast, you’ll thrive with her Be Well Bowls, which include the Fab Four food groups—protein, fat, fiber, and greens—that play a role in day-long satiety. Kelly also teaches you how to elongate your blood sugar curve to stay full and happy, and make yourself insulin aware.
Filled with tips and resources on supplements and cleansing, dozens of delicious, healthy recipes and advice on how to adjust your eating when traveling and on vacation, Body Love is your one-stop resource to living clean and happy!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Love the no nonsense approach- beware this audio book doesn't have any of the actual recipes she keeps referring to in the "extended edition"

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Disappointing, repetitive and annoying at some point. First, there is no extension of her recipes, Once you heard aaallll the theory and the bla bla bla and your want to get down to business... boom! Nothing: no recipes whatsoever. Second, it claims to be an easy way of eating... but how sustainable is it to replace meals with smoothies? Third, it claims to be flexible but it is actually restrictive: no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, ideally no snacking, fruit is limited to 1/4- 1/2 cup maximum... Fourth, she reads too many examples of how amazing and fabulous she is... hahahahaha! Will I recommend it? No.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Very science-y. Concept is great and helpful and I will implement things I learned. But a lot of it went over my head and I assume would for the average person. Also slightly repetitive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5where is the enhancement that she references throughout the entire book?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it i would recommend this book
Go out and read it - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Looove it ?
Simplified my life!! I’m an athlete who is/was obsessed with food. Looking forward to getting my “addition” under control - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5It doesnt get to the point, it literally NEVER does. No access to the pdf, too much theory, and way too much self praise. I wasted 3 hrs of my life waiting for the "great approach" -___-
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Highly recommended! It’s changed my entire approach to nutrition. I feel better following this plan than I ever have before!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Citation needed and the borrowbooks version doesn't have the PDFs which subtract from the usefulness of the book.There were parts that sounded good but some of it sounded a bit overblown.
