About this listen

"Some diet industry feathers are about to get ruffled! A gentle and kind book that doesn’t judge, it just feels like a good friend who wants the best for you. Easy to read and follow, a book so many will relate to."

Holly Matthews, best-selling author, self-development coach and founder of The Happy Me Project

What if you made the DECISION to never diet again?

An empowering and compassionate self-help book exploring the challenges we face with food, body image and striving to be the perfect size in today’s society. This guide offers the solution for serial dieters and emotional eaters to finally heal their relationship with food and with themselves.

Jenny McDonald, also known as The Food Freedom Fairy®, draws inspiration not only from her personal journey but also from her extensive eighteen-year career as a weight loss coach. Through candidly sharing her own food-related challenges and the stories of her clients, she provides invaluable strategies and tools to dismantle the relentless cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Jenny reminds listeners that weight loss is not solely about what you consume and delves into the profound ‘why’ behind your eating habits, encouraging you to reconnect with your mind and body.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Changed my mindset about food completely

Where to start? There are probably too many amazing benefits to reading this book to write in a review but I’ll have a go.

This is the first book that has made me really think about the reasons why I binge-eat. It’s helped me to get to the root cause and address that, rather than just the symptoms of weight gain. Jenny guides you through each chapter with kindness and empathy, providing eye-opening insights and anecdotes to give you a better understanding of yourself, and why you’ve always turned to food as a comfort. She encourages you to look at how you were raised, and what subliminal messages you’ve been exposed to that has led to your unhealthy relationship with food. I have cried five times so far and I’m not quite finished…it’s hard-hitting at times but needed.

I’ve read countless diet books, which tell you which foods to eat and the ones to avoid - none of which have worked long term! This book is nothing like that. It’s not a quick-fix because it gets into the deeper issues, with the important focus being self care and self love - when we nourish our bodies, we are respecting ourselves.

I recommend this book to any woman who’s ever struggled with their food choices, and for any mother who wants their children to have a healthy relationship with food. It’s certainly changing the way I speak about myself, my body & food around my daughters because I don’t want them to have the same issues I have.

I would go as far to say that this book has the potential to change your life for the better, and I’m planning to listen to it a second time once I’ve finished, to make sure the message has really gone in! Being trapped in a binge-eating cycle is like a prison and this book is the key to food freedom.

No nonsense advice on breaking free from diets

This book is a no nonsense guide to breaking free from the dieting cycle of doom. Jenny shares her own experience as well as some of her clients to talk about the things that hold us back and how to manage our weight without restrictive diets. It includes exercises to work on mindset and what is holding us back. Excellent book, very easy to listen to and sensible advice from Jenny's many years of experience working in the diet industry.

food freedom is possible

What a unique way to think about the relationship you have with food and yourself. The bit that really stood out for me was how we see ourselves and what our body enables us to do. I.e. my chunky legs enable me to enjoy walks, run, cycle. I need to appreciate what my legs can do for me. Thank you Jenny!
