Life changing!

Thank you for these words of inspiration! I have gone up and down many times with my weight as an adult. The Lord has always been in my life. I will now put my health and the Lord together. I know that the Lord will stay by my side as I work on losing my weight and living a healthy life.

Loved Christianity connection to weight loss

It is very difficult to find books about weight loss that also tie in your faith in God. I really liked how well this book was written, and I have listened to it twice. Her narration is a little choppy, but I enjoy being able to listen to the actual voice of the person who wrote the book , so for that I was able to tolerate some of the choppiness. I have already recommended it to several of my friends who are trying to lose weight lots of common sense.

Best Book to Break out of bad habits and see food for what it should be

Amber articulates so much of our struggle to fight against the addiction of food and the reasons why it has become so hard. She captures different struggles, perspectives and situations and equips the reader with helpful tools and tips on how to proceed well. My tool kit so full and I truly see my healthiest self coming alive after reading it.

Must read!

I’m so glad I bought this book. It’s not a 14 day diet plan book either. I never thought about food being fuel like the way she explained it. Thank you

Amazing true to life guidance!

Amber speaks this book with truth and love. Her real life examples are funny, lessons to be learned, and great life application!

All over the place.

I felt like this book was all over the place and didn’t really provide any groundbreaking information. I kept trying to give it a chance, but was not helpful!

Good Content but hard to listen to

The content was very helpful , but the narration was hard to listen to. I sped up the narration, and that helped a lot.

Can’t Get Past the Narration

I’m over halfway through this book, but I’m just not certain I can finish it. Ms. Lia’s narration is just plain difficult to listen to. Her cadence rarely varies. It is very sing-song, except sometimes it sounds like she is yelling. She over continually over enunciates. I’m sure this is an effort to speak clearly, but it just gives the whole thing a stilted effect. A different narrator would likely improve the experience quite a bit.

This is the second Lia book I have tried to read. The first was the original Triggers book, written for parents. As far as the content itself, I found that both books started out well, with thoughtful insights and encouraging application. However, about two-thirds to halfway through, both books fell flat. What had been helpful just ended up sounding like filler, or a rehashing of previous chapters. It definitely feels as though the later chapters are padding in order to get to a certain word count, rather than honest insights that need to be shared.

As far as weight loss encouragement, I did not find this book to be particularly revelatory or uplifting. There are better ones out there.

Between the decline in meaningful writing and the stilted narration, I unfortunately won’t be searching out more of Lia’s books - audio or otherwise.
