The (Good) Food Solution: A Shame-Free Nutritional Journey to Food Freedom, Spiritual Nourishment, and Whole-Body Health

Informative and Transformational read! The author did a great job explaining how God designed our bodies to thrive when we are fueling them properly. This is not a surface level read, but presses deeper into a topic that is hardly ever discussed in Christian genre. I’m so glad the author shared her wisdom and the Truth of scripture that we can be so easily overlooked and undervalued.

You should definitely read!!

The Good Food Solution is a good resource to read and reread again if you struggle to connect with how you view food and consume it and how that affects you emotionally on a deeper spiritual level. The author tells her personal story of her struggles and how as time goes by her view of dieting is transformed for the better amidst her circumstances. This book centers on how food can directly affect your well being and then determine our success or endless toxic cycle with it and how that can bring an unhealthy balance with long term consequences. There is a lot of tips and tricks and personal experience written in this book. A journey of freedom of sorts. Sometimes the format was a bit choppy and back and forth, but overall, solid information and great applications to apply. in real life. I appreciate how she always brings back the solutions that are centered around a biblical sense. When you understand food is more than just food, but a means to honor God and our bodies and to do so with intention you can find a balance for your life and food journey that is liberating in many ways.

I liked some parts of the book. Every chapter ended with a “Digging Deeper” section that were a set of reflection questions. I like that the author tied God into the content.Most of the first half of the book was the author’s personal experience with an eating disorder, with some nutritional advice/education scattered throughout. It was interesting at times, but not a whole lot I hadn’t heard before.The end of the book talks about her Whole-Body Health Protocol, which is a 75 day “detox” of your gut in order to heal your body. It was mostly the same type of advice you’ve likely already heard - lots of whole food consumption. However, she also advised that people should take additional herbs and supplements during this detox timeframe… many of which I had never even heard of. I personally did not find her approach to be realistic for myself. Too many rules and guidelines, one of which was to not eat or drink anything cold because it is too hard for the body to digest cold things. Also, the chapters were SUPER LONG.Thanks to NetGalley and Tyndale House Publishers | Tyndale Refresh for providing me with this ARC! #netgalley #TheGoodFoodSolution
