Eat Pretty *OSI*: Nutrition for Beauty, Inside and Out

This book is well written, well researched, and very informative. I love how relatable it is- I felt like Jolene was describing me in her opening chapter about what led to her interest in health and wellness! Also, I'm not interested much in traditional "beauty" books or magazines that focus heavily on makeup and other cosmetic ways to improve appearance. I do enjoy using beauty products, but I think completely relying on them to help your appearance is like putting a "band-aid" on the real issue-- what's going on inside your body! That's one of the things I loved the most about this book- she provides us with well organized, researched-based connections between food and inner and outer beauty, which is really refreshing and SO much more helpful than telling us what makeup will cover up our break outs!!! I recommend this book to ALL women looking to feel good about themselves and take care of their health/improve their appearance, and men should give it a try as well!! I made some of Jolene's recipes for my fiancé and he gobbled them right up :). Overall, this is a great book and once you read it you'll be waiting for Jolene to write her next one! Also - I noticed one review said it wasn't super useful for those who already know a lot about nutrition and wellness, but after having read the book, I disagree! I consider health a "hobby" of mine and I try to stay aware of current research, and there was a lot of information in the book that I'd never considered before. I plan to buy copies for my mom and sisters!

This book breaks down simple and effective ways to improve your health and your physical features, all by changing what you eat. I'm used to reading magazines and blogs telling me how to hide dark circles and wrinkles, how to cover up acne and redness, how to fix dry and damaged hair... they never talk about the causes of these problems. Living life at the pace we do means we have sacrificed a great deal of our health, and it's time to change that. My mother always told me you are what you eat, the good and the bad. This small, beautiful book can change your life. I have more energy, I feel better, my face has cleared up and is actually glowing without using all of the glowing primers I used to. It's not an overnight thing, but each small step has led me to feel good in my skin. I love that the book is separated into each season – I can flip it open in the grocery store and find in season fruits and veggies. I also love that there's a mix of recipes, nutritional charts, and personal stories. Picking up Eat Pretty has been one of the best decisions I've made all year.

This darling book is a pleasure to read as Jolene takes the reader into an education about food and how it can provide all you need to attain and remain beautiful from within. Filled with great advice and equally terrific recipes, it should be kept right along with the cookbooks on your kitchen shelf after you read it...............the first time. It's a go-to book that you will refer to over and over again as you try new recipes with ingredients you may not have tried yet. It also makes a great gift for the women in your life, young and old, because good nutrition benefits women at every stage of life.

I’ve been reading this book off and on for a year or more. The language used comparing things from being pretty and un- pretty can be a bit redundant and obnoxious when there are plenty of more accurate descriptors. That being said, there was a lot of good information in here that I have read elsewhere but it is all combined in this book. I enjoyed the seasonal eating plan and will work on implementing some of these lists in my diet. I will definitely come back to this book for reference when I feel like I’m missing something in my diet.

One of my newest beauty secrets! While I have always been a healthy eater, I never really made the connection between my food and specific skin or health issues until I read this book. Eat Pretty provides a wealth of information in an easy-to-read format with quick tips and great recipes. For the last several years, my skin has been in a vicious hormonal cycle that I have tried to cover with lots of make-up, but with terrible results. Eat Pretty was like a light bulb turning on over my head! I got this book less than a month ago and have incorporated several small changes that Jolene details for glowing skin and less rosacea flare ups. There is literature everywhere about how sugar and certain carbs are terrible for you, but Jolene's book helps make the link between a specific ingredient, like refined sugar, and how it affects your body and skin. Even better, she offers alternative ingredients that fit into your recipes while providing a beauty boost. Within a few weeks of swapping out some beauty busters with beauty boosters, I had lost a few pounds, lost several blemishes, and noticed less redness and irritation on my face. It's amazing that I can eat my way to better skin!

If you don't like self-help books or super positive encouraging books I don't recommend this book at all. It has a lot of good information on different types of fruits and vegetables and the nutrition's that they provide. It brings up a lot of good topics about how nutrition and what you eat affects your body and your skin. BUT in order to "eat pretty" you pretty much have to limit your diet to a very very specific type of food. Basically, no red meats, no junk foods, no coffee, no soda, no sugar, and... a lot more. For some people this may work, it may be encouraging. For me, it ends up being a quick reference for a few recipes and what fruits/vegetables are available during each season. I'm not a fan of Hart's writing style and I definitely wouldn't pay full price for this book. I'm happy to be finished reading it, though it was hard to get through the super positive but degrading tone, but I definitely will use some of the tips and recipes I found inside.

Completely in-love! If you're a brainiac like me & LOVE knowing everything about everything, you will appreciate the depth that Jolene goes into for you to understand your food and why it makes you beautiful. So, you're not as knowledge crazy...? That's fine too because this is the greatest resource guide of beautifying foods & you'll look to it when you're cooking dinner for your family or going to picnic with your friends. Still not convinced?! How about this.... the book itself is just gorgeous & asking to be your best friend. Do you see that cover?! The inside is even cuter! Really. It's absurd how lovely this book is. My newest, more treasured companion. Thank you Jolene Hart, you have made me a loving fan.

Very informative and every beauty girl needs this ! Beauty sure does start from within I love being informed on the benefits of all these natural superfoods not only can you use them for beauty but the health benefits are amazing too! Now I don't feel do clueless anymore! A good read ..good page amount book . Take some notes and get to the farmers market or grocery store

Tout très bien, le livre est arrivé en bon état. Je ne connaissais pas du coup je découvre cette auteur.

Contiene tantissimi suggerimenti per seguire una dieta sana e equilibrata

Es justo lo que esperaba, el libro está muy bien fundamentado, además de que esta súper bonito y tiene algunas recetas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para tod@s aquell@s que quieren cambiar su estilo de vida en cuanto a la alimentación, hará que pienses dos veces si comes chatarra o no. Creo que es un libro que todos deberian tener. También me gusto que el envío fuera super rápido y que llegara protegido y en buen estado.

I bought this book a while ago and loved it so much that I recently ordered another one for a friend! It’s perfect for anyone wanting to start learning about nutrition and healthy living - it’s great for a beginner as the book is packed full of information, yet laid out in a very informal, easy-to-read style (so it doesn’t feel like too much of an information overload!). I love how each section is divided into seasons, as I am a firm believer in eating seasonal foods wherever possible. I have noticed a massive difference in the quality of my skin, hair, nails AND my mental/hormonal health since taking the advice of this book. It’s one I will keep for life as I constantly refer back to it to make sure I’m getting all the nutrients I need throughout the year. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Ich habe Eat Pretty nun schon zum zweiten Mal gelesen, es ist einfach wunderschön geschrieben und sehr informativ zum Thema Nährstoffe für Haar, Haut und Körper. Man fragt sich danach, warum viele Menschen so viel Geld in Kosmetik investieren, sich aber so wenig Gedanken um die richtige Ernährung für die Schönheit von innen bzw. das Wohlbefinden machen. Das Buch hat auch einen Teil, in dem jahreszeitliche Beauty Foods aufgeführt sind, die Wirkstoffe und der Nutzen ist schön erklärt. Auch Themen wie ausreichend Schlaf und wie man diesen erholsam gestaltet sind enthalten, nur der Bereich Fitness ist meiner Meinung nach ein wenig zu kurz gehalten. Tolles Buch mit viel Inspiration, das ich jedem empfehlen kann, der sich für das Thema interessiert.
