The Champagne Diet: Eat, Drink, and Celebrate Your Way to a Healthy Mind and Body!

Let's just say I'm toasting to myself tonight and on my way to the track for a walk as I type this. Loving myself was never associated with my scale but as a woman I have beat myself up over weight gain. No more Hun, not after this. Taking accountability for the pounds but won't be upset about them because I'm beautiful in spite of, great read for a woman who needs to know its ok and just needs a push to get her head back in the game.

The Champagne Diet is a great common sense how-to guide on getting your life back on track without having to go into hibernation to do it! It's fun and an easy read but not in the sense that it's fluff...more like you don't have to keep re-reading every sentence to try and get the concept (and often still end up at 'huh?'). Cara Alwill Leyba hasn't lived a perfect life and that's why it works so well. She's relatable!! (She knows the Weight Watcher's points system for god sakes.) But she also leaves you with the sense that if she can do it than so can you. Cheers to you, Cara! And to everyone else, pick up this book and ENJOY!

I Kindle'd this book because I have fallen in love with Cara's Style Your Mind podcast! I love that this book is about an attitude/lifestyle with a little bit of health and scientific health data sprinkled in. I just wish she had given more expanded look at how she eats and takes care of her health, maybe some quick easy recipes she loves that go great with champagne?? Or I don't know, knowing Cara she probably has a cook book in the works. I specifically loved the parts that talk about dressing, acting, and flirting your way to feeling more glamorous and feminine. Since my job can sometimes involve as much sweat and manual labor as desk time, it's easy to get in that sports bra rut. This was SUCH a fun reminder to put in some effort to make yourself FEEL better, and not for anyone else but yourself.

This book is a must read for all women looking to live a fabulous, healthy, active life! Finally a book that focuses on eating healthy foods and exercise of your body and mind, instead of focusing on solely losing weight to fit into your skinny jeans from a few years ago or that bathing suit for the summer! Whether you are thinking about making healthy changes in your life, or are already on your journey, reading this book sparks the inspiration we all seek!

This was the first book I read from Cara and I will definitely be picking up the others!! Love her tone, relatability, and advice. Though I live a decently healthy lifestyle, her points in this book have stuck in mind and I am incorporating more to healthy habits every day. Definitely recommend!!!

I am a huge fan of Cara Alwill Leyba. She's my hero. All of her books are amazing and I love what she posts on all of her social media. Highly recommend following her, reading ALL her stuff... she'll keep you motivated in self love and acceptance and help you deal with negativity. She makes me feel strong, able, and confident!!!

The writer gives some good advice regarding things like, don't go on a diet, it needs to be a lifestyle change. But other than the idea of making the minut glamorous, I felt like I was reading something that stretched to be a book when it could have been a magazine article. Not bad, not amazing.

This is definitely not your typical "diet" book. It's more of a guide to living a healthier more fabulous life. I love Cara and her story. If you're struggling with your body, weight loss, etc and are tired of the normal self help/get healthy/quick "fix" diet books, than I highly recommend this one!

I never should have bought this. I wish there was a way to return e-books back. Be sure you like this kind of self help brain washing.

Not sure what I expected when I picked up this book but I was intrigued by the title. Cara is funny,witty and looks at food and eating in a healthier mindset. This is not an ordinary diet book. You won't find calories and skinny women as inspiration. The biggest takeaway that I took from this book was about enjoying food, like a glass of wine with baked chicken in a silk robe. Food doesn't have to be boring, we just make it that way.

Libro carino, simpatico con qualche spunto interessante.

I absolutely loved this book and works nicely along with all the positive thinking and gratitude inspiring books. I have taken a lot of useful information and empowering life changing habits from this book. You don't have to be able to afford champagne, designer clothes or organic food to appreciate the concept of the book. Fresh food, prosecco and wear what makes you happy, works for me. I can't wait to read my next Cara book.

These views make so much sense and are 100% truth when used! Loved this read and can't wait to read more from her!
