The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body Description
Cameron Diaz shares her formula for becoming happier, healthier, and stronger in this positive, essential guide that is grounded in science and inspired by personal experience.
Throughout her career, Cameron Diaz has been a role model for millions of women. By her own candid admission, though, this fit, glamorous, but down-to-earth star was not always health-conscious. Learning about the inseparable link between nutrition and the body was just one of the life-changing lessons that has fed Cameron’s hunger to educate herself about the best ways to feed, move, and care for her body. In The Body Book, she shares what she has learned and continues to discover about nutrition, exercise, and the mind/body connection.
Grounded in science and informed by real life, The Body Book offers a comprehensive overview of the human body and mind, from the cellular level up. From demystifying and debunking the hype around food groups to explaining the value of vitamins and minerals, readers will discover why it’s so important to embrace the instinct of hunger and to satisfy it with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Cameron also explains the essential role of movement, the importance of muscle and bone strength and why we need to sweat a little every day.
The Body Bookdoes not set goals to reach in seven days or thirty days or a year. It offers a holistic, long-term approach to making consistent choices and reaching the ultimate goal: a long, strong, happy, healthy life.

“The Body Book” written by famous actress Cameron Diaz is one of the many books on various diets that were published at the end of previous year, when all of us are counting many calories we have put into our body past holiday days and bring New Year's resolutions that precisely this year we’ll finally solve the problem of overweight.
Of several books on the subject read I already wrote reviews, and to this one I was mostly attracted due to its author, curious what about this subject has to say an actress whose body for many years manages to resist aging, while she still maintains a youthful appearance.
I'll be honest I was expecting a classic "picture book" kind of book such are typically released by well-known actors or singers, but to my surprise there are very small number of photos inside, and instead the author and her team offered a range of useful information on its three hundred pages.
Cameron intended her book solely for women, that is evident from the start when with a large font she addresses to women while explaining the reasons why she wrote her book – wanting to share with readers exciting experiences that brought great joy and fulfillment, like when you eat something delicious you turn to the person next to you and give a bite to try.
That is the way author feels about her book, being able to provide information about our bodies and nutrition that she used in her everyday living, the things that make her feel excited and joyous due to the ability to teach readers how to feed yourself both nutritiously and deliciously.
I wish I could express myself better because this book is way more amazing than I can explain. I'll try anyway.
This books talks about nutrition but it is not only about nutrition. It explains how our body works, and how it uses the fuel we give it, and what we can do to give it the best fuel in the most effective way to be healthy, strong, and happy.
But that's not all. The book talks about other ways to take care of our bodies too. Exercise, sleeping habits, even our minds.
For years I have been defeating myself. I would have an idea, get excited about it, then the next day I would tell myself that I was dreaming and I could never do that so why bother. And there you have it, Cameron talks about that too!! I read that and I thought, yes that is me. And then I read some more and I thought, that WAS me, but no more!
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about what the book talks about because you can see it in the table of contents or other reviews. But I want to say that besides all the information this book gives you (and it is so well organized too), it also motivates you and makes you believe in yourself. I don't know how it does it, but it does.
You read it and it feels like Cameron is right there telling you that you can do it, that we all can do it. And then, you believe it.
I really believe Cameron wrote this book to help us and not just to make money. It wouldn't be that good otherwise.
So THANK YOU CAMERON, you have helped me more than you can imagine! I owe you!
If you are still not sure about getting the book, trust me, you will love it. And I'm just not a super huge fan of Cameron (OK, I am now, but I wasn't before I got the book).
