Summary: The best!
Review: I just love the candor of Laure's writing. She is so open, genuine and tells it like it is. I could completely relate to her story and the stories of the other women in the book. I think that too much emphasis is placed on having a perfect body, instead of having a fit and healthy body. Laure helps women (and men) get to the root of their weight issues and overcome them. She creatively makes it fun to exercise and eat more healthy. She makes people be accountable for their own actions without blasting them and making them feel awful.I would DEFINITELY suggest this book to anyone that struggles with unhappiness about their appearance. Laure will help inspire you into taking charge of your own life and making it what you want it to be.

Summary: Feel Fabulous in the Buff
Review: I love this book. Laure writes with honesty and frank discussion about "body hate," a distressing emotion that we've all encountered at some time during our lives. Laure used to be fat, but she overcame her problems with eating and is now a respected fitness and life-style expert. Her recommendations are simple and easy to follow. Drink lots of water. Treat yourself. Sit up straight. Exercise for 10 minutes a day. In all, there are 10 steps in her program. Nothing is grueling or so difficult that a regular woman (or man!) couldn't handle it. I'm planning on buying this book for my sister and my mom. Give it a try for 8 weeks, and I promise you'll feel better about your body.

Summary: an inspiration for all women
Review: Laure Redmond asks us to examine our predisposition toward hating our bodies and offers us real-world alternatives: a different way to be in our skin, a different way to look at life, a different way to look at ourselves. It's a great gift she offers, made especially powerful by the fact that it is within reach. Redmond's program is down-to-earth and do-able. And her own story is so inspiring, you want to start following her advice as soon as you finish chapter 1; I implemented a couple of the steps she presents right away, and I felt uplifted immediately. I particularly liked the voice of the author. The honesty with which Redmond talks about her own trials makes me wish I could call her up on the phone and spill my guts to her. She's warm and understanding and has been through a lot. Because she's so frank about her own life--and she treats it all as grist for the learning mill--she makes me less afraid to look at myself, warts and all, and try to make changes. This is a great book.

Summary: Feel Good Naked & Feel Great Forever
Review: Laure Redmond knows of what she speaks. There is no bigger enemy than the one we so persistently nuture within. There is no perfect diet, no perfect exercise regime, no perfect other that can give us what we alone can ultimately give ourselves. Her book deals beautifully and honestly with the pervasive issue of female body hatred and body distortion, a shocking and unacceptable epidemic ravaging our daughters, mothers, sisters and lovers. Give this book to anyone struggling with self acceptance, anyone whose internal oppressor has so distorted their natural grace and beauty that they are crippled with unspeakable self loathing and denial. Our national obession with youth, perfection, depravation and depravity must come to an end. Feeling Good Naked is one small, but essential, step in the name of what so many of us are craving... self love and self acceptance, without caveats, without the illusion of perfection and without the thundering voice within that robs us of our best possible selves.
