The Bikini Body 28-Day Healthy Eating & Lifestyle Guide: 200 Recipes, Weekly Menus, 4-Week Workout Plan

Absolutely fantastic book! this is the cheapest healthy eating book I've ever purchased and the best. Not long ago I managed to drop over a stone carb cycling so now I'm looking into maintaining my weight with healthy eating. I already follow Kayla on Instagram and have been impressed with her attitude to diet and results Ok, firstly I agree with the comments made about food being wasted so I decided to buy 2 days worth of food from 2 different meal plans and alternate through the week. This way all the food gets used up and I can prep ahead I love the fact the book is structured and straightforward If you don't like one of the meals in the plan you can change it for another Pull out, easy to follow exercise poster Lots of information regarding foods and eating out Meal plan is spread across 5 meals, 2 of those being snacks My only gripe is the prep for the last meal of the day. There just seems so many ingredients to measure, grate, chop etc so I think I will have prep in advance. The rest of the meals are really easy and quick. Also make sure if you're making any sauces to try first, I made a caeser dressing and poured it all over, when I went to try it my head was blown off by the taste of Dijon mustard so I ideally should had tried and tweaked first. Also some of the dinner meals are for 2 people, I usually make it for 2 and save it or my partner will eat it. I've just had breakfast which was a wrap topped with ricotta, banana and honey. It was very scrummy however I felt 100g of ricotta was a tad sickly, I would probably do half of that in the future

I've followed Kayla and BBG on instagram for awhile but have never been a subscriber to her app or followed her program closely. I work out all the time, so that part is easy, but I wanted a little guidance in the nutrition department, so I picked up this book. It's fantastic! I'm about half way through her 28 day plan and the recipes are great - lots of variety and flavorful dishes. I also like her approach to diet and exercise and her positive attitude! With that being said, my only complaints are, as another reviewer said: there can be a lot of waste in her recipes. If you are following it closely, you will end up throwing away food. I figured that out early and started subbing in things I had already opened (white beans for garbanzos, figs for blueberries, etc.) and I have kids and a husband that will usually eat whatever they can find, but I do think that would be frustrating if you were throwing away good ingredients. One other small complaint is that - for me - there is almost too MUCH variety...I don't want to be thinking about food 5 times a day (three meals, two snacks), so I almost wish the snacks were always the same (or at least the same categories - a smoothie, or a grain serving and hummus, etc....something easy like that), or there were less day schedules (just 2-3 instead of the 4 different varieties). But these are such minor things - not even worth taking a star off my review, just things to think about and things I will be adjusting as I continue to follow her plan. She is fantastic and this book is great!

First off, I did not expect a paperback at this price to be so huge! This book is enormous! Quality-wise it's beautifully presented and very smart looking. The pictures are great, especially the visual representation of each day's menu. It makes all the food look incredible!! Lots of info on trendy topics such as body confidence, counting macros and superfoods. No references to back up any scientific claims, however, so it's pretty much a book of very well presented opinions. The reason this book is so huge is that it gives you the diet plan in three different formats- a grid, daily two page spread, and sections on breakfast, lunch and dinner. It could've been condensed to half the size but it wouldnt look nearly as impressive. The plan itself is essentially a plant based diet that aims to get you eating the amount of each food group that Kayla feels you should be eating. This is structured with an ABCD categorising system where by you can swap any meal you don't like for one from the same lettered category (i.e. an A breakfast for a different A breakfast, but not an A for a D) confused yet? The recipes seem very easy and straightforward, nothing too complex. Meal planning tips go as far as "buy Tupperware and chop your veg in advance", so if you are looking for something other than common sense then you may have to try elsewhere. The exercise poster is quite cool and there's a full glossary of each exercise to explain how it's safely performed. I like Kayla and her plan is deceptively simple, its just the sheer volume of the thing that makes it look quite daunting! This book is for you if you like Charlotte Crosby and The Body Coach but are looking to take it to the next level. All in all, a solid four stars.

I don't normally write reviews but this book deserves one. I am traveling to London and am so addicted to this book it is coming with me, and when you get it you will see it is a massive book. Never have I read (and i have read a few) a health book that is so interesting, informative, beautifully presented and BIG. Seriously value for money is an understatement! I haven't got to the actual plan yet and the start of the book covers everything you could ever need to inform you in good health. It covers confidence, self perception, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, allergies and much much more. It is not a diet plan it is a total life changer. What a truly wonderful book, if you want to start a new life of healthy eating and possibly lose a few pounds too you will not regret this book. It is sensational. Well done Kayla finally a healthy eating plan for normal people.

But I was disappointed. I've followed Kayla for a couple of years and have her BBG which I think are fab! Whilst the book does introduce a healthy lifestyle philosophy it doesn't go far enough. She talks about how protein, carbs and fat are macros but doesn't go on to explain how to count or measure them which I thought was poor. The tone of the language is also very cheesy and childish, like the readers are idiots. Some of the recipies call for low fat dairy which seems to be at odds with what many others in the fitness industry advise. If you've got her BBG then you don't need this book in my opinion. I've shelved it for now.

Very pleased... good quality book with lovely colourful pictures of the recipes, detailed instructions and how to adapt recipes to suit you so you can get the most out of the book. It's got a full 28 day meal planner including breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner for every day. You certainly won't be going hungry! There are also short workouts in a pull out poster (you can leave it in the book if you like) with demonstration pictures and info to help you get the most from your work out. The recipes are varied so lots of different things so you shouldn't get bored. There's even a section detailing how kayla does her meal prep to get the most from your food, reduce wastage and save you time. Well thought out, I look forward to trying out the recipes asap

I was really surprised at the size of this book, it's packed full of useful information, mainly recipes. The recipes are really well presented and the photography is fantastic which makes everything look delicious. I can't wait to try these as I've got in a rut with my eating habits lately. I bought this mainly for the recipes/meal planning as I already do the guides so this wasn't something that attracted me to it. If you are a BBG beginner it might be useful but I'd still stick to the original guides. I'm a massive fan of the BBG anyway so this is just the icing on the cake for me.

Really great book which doesn’t talk about dieting but healthy balanced meals and nutrition. My 14 year old daughter wanted it and I was very concerned about her thinking of dieting etc, but this book has taught her all about food, why we need the nutrients, a balanced diet, and both my daughters cook one meal s week for the whole family from the book (I do the rest!!) the instructions are really easy to follow. It’s also really made our meals more interesting, we’ve used ingredients we’ve never used before!

Ma perché i libri italiani non sono così ben illustrati come quelli del mondo anglosassone? Colorato, facile e piacevole da leggere. Le foto non fano pensare ad un regime punitivo e la stessa Kayla ha un approccio rilassato su alimentazione e esercizio (vengono spesse citate le linee guida australiane). Consegna velocissima, libro in condizioni perfette.

Great book great shape

Auch für deutsche sehr gut zu verstehen! Die Übungen sind sehr anspruchsvoll und nicht unbedingt was für Anfänger. Die Rezepte sind sehr einfach zu machen und ebenfalls gut zu verstehen. Leider kauft man oft ein Lebensmittel, was an einem Tag nicht aufgebraucht wird, allerdings in den nächsten Tagen auch nicht mehr benötigt wird. Das ist immer schade. Durch die 3 Hauptmahlzeiten und die beiden Zwischenmahlzeiten ist man auch nie hungrig!

Muy completo e interesante! Muy contenta con la compra. Tiene muchisimas recetas saludables y una ritina de ejercicio sencilla y muy bien explicada.

This book is super cool : full of info and delicious recipes, I have done almost all of them and I love it!! Simple, healthy and tasty, I highly recommend (her app sweat is even better). I am waiting for her second book, thank you Kayla !!
