Publisher's summary

End the yo-yo dieting cycle...forever. Welcome to the Food Freedom plan.

Millions of people have successfully completed the groundbreaking Whole30 program and radically transformed their energy, sleep, cravings, waistlines, and health. Now, Food Freedom Forever offers real solutions for anyone stuck in the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting and the resulting stress, weight gain, uncontrollable cravings, and health complaints.

In her newest book, best-selling author Melissa Hartwig defines true "food freedom" as being in control of the food you eat instead of food controlling you. Resets like the Whole30 can jump-start the process, but as anyone who has dieted knows, holding on to that freedom and creating healthy habits that last is the hard part. In her detailed three-part plan, Melissa will help you discover food freedom no matter how out of control you feel, walk a self-directed path that keeps you in control for months on end, gracefully recover when you slip back into old habits, and create the kind of food freedom that stays with you for the rest of your life.

Food Freedom Forever shows you how to design your reset, making your short-term protocol maximally effective. You'll learn how to spot your specific triggers before they're pulled and strategies for dealing with temptation, strengthening your new healthy habits, and boosting your willpower. Melissa also shares advice for retaining your food freedom during holidays, vacations, periods of life stress, social pressure, and criticism from friends and family. By the end of this audiobook, you'll have a detailed plan for creating the perfect diet for you, finding your own healthy balance, and maintaining the kind of control that brings you real food freedom every day.

Love this book!

I've listened to this book twice and will probably do so again in the future. Melissa is easy to listen to and speaks about our relationship with food in a way I've never heard before. Definitely recommend!

Great Book!

Great book to start your day. I listened to it in the car every morning.

Very worth it!

I went back and forth on getting this title as I have already done a whole 30 and have that book, so I wasn't sure this was needed. I'm so glad I decided to check it out. I seriously feel like this book was written for me! It really approaches, and tackles all the things that happen and will happen when and after your whole 30. I'm into my second go around and I feel this book really helped me to feel more confident, and have a better view than my attempts at all or nothing. Well done!

Completely changed my view of food!

This book as incredible, relatable and definitely helped me change how I feel about food forever. Thank you Melissa!

Good refresher or next step to W30

This book is a great way to look at Whole30 as a way of life.

This book was awesome!

Listening to Melissa talk food freedom in her own voice was POWERFUL, INSPIRING and LIFE CHANGING. Not only a great read but a must listen!

Loved hearing the emotion of the journey

I already own the hard copy of this book and wanted to give the audio version a try. I am so glad that I did. I got more out of the audio version than I ever expected and now can't wait to reread the hardback.

My whole 30 experience

The whole 30 program has lead me on a new and much healthier plan for eating than I've ever tried before. I didn't think I could do it but to my surprise, I did! To be honest, I still struggle with the amount of food I eat. I did lose weight on the plan, however, I only had about 10 lbs. to lose and lost 5-6, depending on the day I weigh myself. In order to lose the last 4-5 lbs. I think I'd have to cut back more which will be hard but not impossible.
I loved Melissa's dry sense of humor, comparing the difficultly of quitting cream in your coffee to quitting drugs. Quitting drugs is hard, quitting cream is not! She's right, however, I still didn't like it but it was only for 30 days. That was the first thing I added back and was what I missed most!
I enjoy the healthy eating so much that I'm not that anxious to add back a lot of other food. I really want to continue on to see if I can reach my ultimate goal. Thanks Melissa for such a great program! I love it and I never say that about diets but this was much more than a diet...it's a new way to eat!

Great Book

Ignore ALL bad reviews! This is very informative and interesting. Everyone can apply these habits whether they're doing whole 30 or not.

Great!

This book is exactly what I needed right now. I will be re-listening to sections of it!
