Book Reviews of The Truth About Beauty: Transform Your Looks And Your Life From The Inside Out
Book Review: Give this an honest effort...
Summary: 5 Stars
I first met Kat James at a Body Mind Spirit Expo in Raleigh NC. She was the headline speaker there, and I was just trying to waste some time. Her story surprised me... She had a clue what it meant to have out of control cravings... How could she? She was beautiful, real, compassionate, and probably a size 2. I connected with her story.. I had lived it. I purchased her book, took it home, and read it cover to cover immediately. Her words rang true with me. Although there are many low carb recipes, Kat makes it VERY clear that this is NOT about counting carbs... The main focus of any of her recipes are about eating well while avoiding blood sugar spikes. If you like rice, try the hemp seed substitute. She even has recipes for ice cream. For anyone who doesn't think this is groundbreaking, then I challenge them to find anything that is more comprehensive. Rosedale does an excellent job explaining blood sugar and the need for low glycemic diets... but I had read his book, and didn't really get the health aspect that I got from reading and living the words in Kat's book. She walks you through the steps to get sugar spikes out of your life... and to get on track with getting healthy.
Here's what I took away from Kat's book. This is NOT about weight. This is about getting healthy.. It's the first time I've ever gotten that from any book... and I've read a ton of them. And, for the first time in my life, I realized that my previous inability to stop the cravings was simply a chemical reaction to what I had previously subjected my body to... No one can compare my cravings to those who haven't beaten up their adrenal glands or mistreated their body as I had. Sure, for those of you who haven't done this.. you may not need a book such as this. If your adrenals are in perfect order, don't work or live around toxins, have little inflamation, and sleep well... Then hey... you may do very well without this. I completely disagree with the previous review that implies that this book blames you.. In fact, it's one of the few that don't. Seriously.. I finally let myself off the "blame hook"... and put my focus not on blame.. but on taking care of myself... from the inside out.. just as the book requests...
There are many things in the negative reviews that I completely disagree with.. but I'm not going to get into a he said/she said battle... Choose to believe what you wish.. Find me.. and talk to me.. if you want a real life story.. But most of all, I urge everyone to read it for yourself. If you took nothing more out of it.. then to get off of liquid sugar.. then it's worth the price of the book.. And, the glory of it is that she offers so much more than this. By the way, if you are a soda-holic.. She gives you so many other choices... If you are addicted to coffee... buy her book and read why you might care. Are you serious about getting healthy, aging well, taking care of yourself? If so... make up your own mind about this book.
I also have both revisions of the book.. and I highly recommend the second. Here's why... not everyone can just get off sugar without some substitute. Kat gives you choices.. You don't have to choose them, but they are there for those who want them. The resource guide in the back of this book, alone, are worth the cost of this updated edition. And finally, the stories in the book are real. I went to one of Kat's retreats.. and I met one of the women she highlighted in her book. She's real. The stories are real. And I've seen people transform their lives because they choose to really live her principles. I've also seen Kat without her make-up.. and I have to say, her beauty is on the inside and the outside.. and it has NOTHING to do with makeup.
For those who say that the supplements are too expensive....start with the things that are the most helpful to you. She never asks you to take them all.. She simply gives the information, and assumes that you'll make the choices that are right for you. I for one am honored to have met her.. thankful to her for giving me the information to make informed changes in my life. I am finally on the right path... I might slip from time to time.. but I wouldn't even be on track without her book.
FYI, Kat also has a very informative radio program, a newsletter, and offers a retreat where she helps each person individually. She's a wealth of information, and I sincerely hope that anyone interested in getting off of the diet wheel will give this an honest effort. Kat helped me with things that I thought were just part of my life... such as carpel tunnel syndrome, numb feet, rosacea, occasional dizziness, waking up at night. I thought these things were just part of getting older. But, after just weeks on her plan, these things were part of my past.. and no longer just part of life. I owe my health to Kat James, and I am quite grateful.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Foshee
Raleigh, NC
