“Skinny Life” by Crystal Dwyer Hansen BOOK REVIEW *physical, emotional & spiritual fitness*

Skinny Life: The Real Secret to Being Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually Fit by Crystal Dwyer Hansen

The author, Crystal Hansen, is a life coach and wellness/nutrition expert; so I found this book very educational, inspiring and helpful.

At the end of every chapter she has “Affirmations” which she suggests that the reader post or write out so they can be read multiple times. She also has “skinny life bottom line” blocks on the pages throughout, which are important comments mentioned on that page. For example: “Say Out Loud: This needs to change now. I need to start treating my body better today.”

This book is divided up into 3 parts, for a total of 12 chapters.

Part 1: The Truth about Weight Issues

Part 2: A New Way of Looking at Weight and You

Part 3: Life As the New You

She also includes 2 lists at the end of book of suggested foods to eat and foods to avoid.

This book was written from a Christian stand point which I absolutely enjoyed! I believe making God a part of a daily fitness and health routine is very important. I also believe being positive and good mental health is vital for weight loss and to maintain a healthy body.

That is something that I struggle with, so I’m very grateful I had the chance to read this! I will definitely be using this book as a weekly reminder and reference for the future.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media. All opinions are my own.
