Publisher's summary

A no-excuses kick-in-the-ass to wellness, from an award-winning trainer and fitness expert.

Join the movement. Ditch the diet.

Who is ready to stop thinking about weight loss? To free their brain from thoughts about ketones, calories, and fasting? Who wants life to be more effortless, energetic, and empowered?

Welcome to a refreshing and gloriously unapologetic conversation about health, fitness, and habits. Award-winning trainer Oonagh Duncan cuts through the wellness clutter to drop some truth bombs: It might not be six-pack abs you’re looking for - it might be happiness, confidence, and acceptance. But if losing your belly is what you want, don’t let anyone - including yourself - stop you from going after it. And she’ll show you how to make it happen.

There’s only one major difference between those rare people who have managed to lose weight and the rest of us: their habits. When you acknowledge that following a diet is not getting you anywhere and you make a few small changes to your everyday routine, you’ll find yourself happier and healthy as f--k.

okayish

I guess this book was okay. If you really want to change your habits I would recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear. It's a much better read.

Dietitians opinion: this book could be dangerous

I have mixed feelings about this book. I am always critical to “fitness experts” writing books with no credentials, just sharing stories of things that have been successful for some people. The first chapter sets you up to believe you won’t be receiving too much critique or specifics, but instead will get overarching themes to success (which I love). Talking about the mental piece is usually under explored in other books. There was minimal mention of seeking out actual professional counseling from a psychologist, psychiatrist, or dietitian. There’s also NO discussion of potential extreme eating behaviors and their consequences (ie eating disorders). Then as the book goes along, it gets WAY to specific, setting people up for ultimate failure. “Don’t eat x grams of sugar,” “meditate for exactly 20 minutes,” these specifics are random and alienating. “Only eat when your hungry” is blatantly inappropriate, given that chronic dieting leads to hormonal imbalances that no longer send normal signals. Unfounded, unwarranted, and wrong.
To wrap it up: please read a variety nutrition books by a nutrition professional (RD, LD). This was like reading a book on cardiovascular surgery by a heart health enthusiast.

Awesome 👍

The author did an amazing job not only explaining how to be the healthiest you that you can be, but also did an exceptional job at making sure that you know that it's okay to fuck up and fall down. Not only did this book inspire me to become healthier but it gave me some good tools to use in order to become happier with myself. I very much recommend it.

Down to Earth, realistic and empowering.

I don't need to be told precisely how to reach my fitness goals - how to eat and exercise - I really needed help with the mental and emotional parts, which is the main focus of this book. It was a huge help all-around. Highly recommended.

Best book I've listened to in years!

I absolutely loved this book (so much so that I'm listening for a 2nd time). She's able to make building healthy habits relatable and isn't afraid to call out the bullshit we often sell ourselves. Changing our mindset around food from a "diet" mentality to a habit mentality is SO cruicual for positive change. Oonagh does a great job of showing how that shift is possible, and not nearly as hard as we make it out to be.

Shameless advertisement for the author fitness program

Look, I am too smart to listen to this. The author tries way too hard to be ‘cool’ by dropping some F bombs here and there and calling you dude. I tried to get useful information from this book for two chapters straight while on my morning walk. By the 15th time the author plugged her ‘online fitness program’ I angrily deleted the book from my phone. Advise to the author: readers are not stupid. Give us some credit. I would be much more inclined to try whatever program you are trying to sell if you just laid out good unbiased advice throughout the book without desperately trying to plug in your program. Mention it once if you want at the end of the book. If you did a good job showing that you know what you are talking about, I guarantee you would have a great conversion rate in getting people signing to whatever it is that you are offering online. But mentioning it 5 times in 2 minute is irritating and counterproductive.

Straight to the point!

Loved her direct, yet encouraging approach! She is very real and has tons of examples that are relatable with doable recommendations.

If you are a middle aged Canadian, vegan, feminist who enjoys swearing like a sailor then this book is for you.

I’m not sure where to start. This book just feels like it’s aimed towards an oddly specific crowd. What was worse than the vegan feminist mindset was the fact that she cussed so much. Don’t get me wrong I expected it from the title and welcomed it. It’s just hard to listen about middle aged women making Quinoa and tofu bowls doing yoga and dropping the F bomb. Based off the summary of the book it seemed interesting but after struggling through the whole book I would say research the author and her beliefs before reading.
