For obese people

This book is only for very overweight or obese people . If you want to lose a couple of kilos, this is not for you unless you are prepared to give up sugar and flour . I am not . I Still would like to congratulate Suzan in her efforts which are incredible but this is not for me.

Remarkable

Would you consider the audio edition of Bright Line Eating to be better than the print version?

Absolutely, I consider the audio edition of Bright Line Eating to be better than the print version because I can listen to the author's voice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author, Susan Peirce Thompson, for her honesty and passion in reaching her dream to write a book that will help millions of people with their loss weight and addiction to food.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narrator is the author Susan Peirce Thompson and she is wonderful. She brings her own experience, warmth and enthusiasm in her performance.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I waited for this book my whole life! I followed the method described in the book and in 9 months I dropped 5.8 stones going from size 20 and a BMI of 36.6 to size 10 and a BMI of 24. I will be forever grateful to Susan Peirce Thompson for her vision of writing a book about food addiction and about how to live Happy Thin and Free. She helped to get my life back. The audio format is great as I can listen to it anytime, anywhere and it's going to be part of my EAP. What is EAP? You have to listen to or read the book to find the answer. It's fascinating and in the same time so simple.

Any additional comments?

The book represents a holistic approach to food addiction, based on the author's life experience, study and research. It contains amazing scientific information and neuroscience research presented in such an easy to understand manner by Susan Peirce Thompson and includes interesting study cases. The book describes a method that does not rely on willpower but on automaticity and integrity with food. The food plan is a simple, ingenious and reliable solution to gain and maintain the ideal weight. "Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin & Free" may very well constitute "The Book" for anyone who wants to achieve a healthy eating style and break free from food obsession, simply following 4 Bright Lines, eating whole foods and learning about the inextricable link between our brain, body and soul.

Not Good for Audio

This plan seems good in principle but impossible to follow using an audio book. After introductory chapters there are many lists which cannot be followed on audio. I returned the audio and bought the physical book - from Amazon of course!

Life Changer!

Putting into words what this book has done for me isn't easy, it's been profound. Since purchasing on Audible I have lost 84lb and now within a few pound of my own personal goal weight. I have been morbidly obese for 2 decades and overweight or obese for the entire of my adult life (I am 47) so the fact I am slipping into a UK size 12 now is nothing short of a miracle. But don't let the potential weight loss be the thing you focus on if you decide to go with this book. Finally I am free of constantly thinking about food, I am calmer and more able to deal with my emotions and I am as grateful for these things as I am for my lighter body.

Susan Peirce Thompson takes an approach that really worked for me. Listening to her read her own book, hearing the science behind why dieting fails and why Bright Line Eating works, was inspirational, as were the personal stories of success found with BLE which are interspersed throughout the book. I had to listen 3 or 4 times before the panic subsided (the changes required to my lifestyle were huge) and I still listen now and again to firm up my mindset, but I haven't looked back since then. Highly recommend!

Some Good Info

Good book but don't like how every testimonial sounds like an advert and relegates plant based doctors.

Life changing book!

It has explained why I have done what I have done with food all my life!
Listening to Susan herself narrate Bright lines was incredibly powerful.
I am so thankful for learning about the “willpower gap”.
I now understand why I am a 10 on the scale with certain food & definitely not others and know I have been provided with the tools to change the way I have used food around my emotions .
Food has taken up so much time in my head.
I am very excited...
let’s climb Everest
onwards & upwards!!
Thank you Susan

So Makes Sense

Loved that although to me I kept thinking restriction in my head. listening to the book kept making feel this is so achievable. The case studies so resonated with me. I have picked up a lot of books in my time even while listening to this I was flicking through a booK on how to go sugar free. What I found was that the book did not go far enough as I could do some sugar and sweeteners. I am looking forward to doing something so different than any thing I have ever done before. Thank you for keeping my hope alive

If you’ve been trying to lose weight...

I’ve had Bright Line Eating on my radar for quite some time now, but the boot camp was too expensive for me to be able to afford. This book gives you everything you need to know, for very little money and it’s a huge help.

I am losing weight fast, but more than that, I do actually experience the freedom and joy that Susan Pierce-Thompson talks about, and that is what sets his apart from all the other weight loss stuff I’ve tried. She is meticulous in the way she sets people up for success, and that makes this a worthwhile listen.

I saw another reviewer criticise the autobiographical content, but I think that what is written is in service of understanding the context and therefore the foundation for the rest of the book. I found it helpful.

life changing book...amazing

Listening to this book felt as if someone can finally understand what I never managed to articulate. It helped me understand my issues with food and finally laid out a manageable plan for success. Thank you Susan and to everyone that made this book possible.
