Ratings and reviews

Not long enough! VERY relatable for me, but author seems stronger than myself. I've always felt the need for black-and-white structure, and this is free from structure, that along with my own self doubts kept me from giving 5 *'s.

Very good read makes you realise eating healthy doesnt need to be hard if you take positive changes step by step.
