I don’t know if you can technically call it a book review if I’m still reading the book.
I’ve been reading Kim Bensen’s book Finally Thin. It seems like I’m always struggling with staying on a healthy eating plan, and gaining and losing those same pounds over and over again. Finally Thin sounded like an interesting read to me, and I haven’t been disappointed.
The book itself isn’t a diet plan, but it does outline her ten step system you can use with any diet plan. It’s a very inspirational book, and provides motivation to help you through those tough days when you fall off the healthy eating wagon and can’t get back on (which is my problem most of the time).
I really like that the book isn’t plugging a certain way of eating or “diet” it’s simply inspiration and ideas to help you stick to your healthy eating plan. The book also includes over 70 recipes you can use for meal planning.
With all the negativity surrounding dieting, it’s just inspirational to read about someone who’s lost over 200 pounds and kept it off for several years!

I just got the book from my local library and am anxious to start reading it. I have battled my weight for the last 20 yrs. up and down. Not looking for a get healthy quick fix, as it took yrs. to put it on and it is not coming off overnight I know. I do feel alot has to do with attitude and learning to accept that you have to eat to lose, its what we eat that is key. So a little inspiration never hurts and I think this is the book to do just that.
Thanks to all for sharing their views of the book.
Thank you Kim Bensen for inspiring us to never lose sight of our dreams.
