Resumen del Editor

Like so many people, Mara Schiavocampo had struggled with weight for most of her life. She tried every diet on the planet, suffered a debilitating eating disorder, joined a bizarre food cult, took dangerous pills, worked out for insane amounts of time - and still tipped the scales at nearly 230 pounds. But more than reaching a healthy weight, Mara wanted peace and freedom from the constant mental torment brought on by food. A healthy and effortless way of life - for the rest of her life.

And that's what she found. While juggling a marriage, new baby, and a budding television career as a correspondent on NBC, Mara "accidentally" stumbled onto a formula that worked for her. She lost 90 pounds in two years and is now stronger and fitter - and, most importantly, happier - than ever.

In Thinspired, Mara shares her weight-loss secrets and the formula for her success plan. Instead of focusing strictly on do's and don'ts, she talks about eliminating the foods that have control over you - whether that's wine, flour products, dairy, or sugar. By following in Mara's footsteps, you'll lose the pounds and gain back your energy, control, health, and happiness.

Inspiring

I really liked this book. it was an inspirational story of weight loss, struggles, and coping mechanisms.

Entertaining and Realistic

This book is a good help for those struggling with overeating. As a therapist-intern working with such clients, it left much to be desired... A little slow and not enough depth of coverage.

Research Savvy

I enjoyed the research findings behind each chapter. The book was quite different than I anticipated. Although, I would've enjoyed the author's voice as it is her story. At times the narrator sound robotic.

Informative.

Mara spoke about what worked for her. The message that resonated with me is that you can NOT work out and eat whatever you want and expect weight loss results.

great tight book.

very good information in right sized chunks. very inspirational and one of the few tell it like it is weight loss books for real people

Very Inspiring....

I am going to listen over and over again. I loved the author's story because I definitely can relate; however, I wish the author performed it.
Overall great book.

Authentic

Loved the organization of the book. Very practical and authentic. It made the goal to lose weight more practical.

I loved it, was so insightful and thoughtful,

I was really feeling bad and so shameful of myself before I landed on this book. the really helped me to understand is that what I'm going through secretly....is pretty normal and there are solutions and alternatives.

Great Listen!

I enjoyed this book! Very inspiring. Some of her stories really hit home. Ready to listen again!

Success Story

I purchased the book and the e-book back in 2015 when it first came out. It helped me along my fitness journey and I lost a total of 64 pounds. I’ve been able to keep most of it off until today. (I’ve put 15 pounds on during COVID).

I re-visit this book when I need a pick me up.

I highly recommend the both the book and the ebook.
