The New York Times best-selling book, available in paperback for the first time. End the yo-yo dieting cycle . . . forever.​

Millions of people have successfully completed the groundbreaking Whole30 program and radically transformed their energy, sleep, cravings, waistline, and health. But after your Whole30, how do you make sure those new, healthy habits actually stick? In this New York Times best-selling book, available in paperback for the first time, Melissa Hartwig defines "food freedom" as being in control of the food you eat, instead of food controlling you. The Whole30 helps you jump-start the process, but as anyone who's dieted knows, holding on to that freedom and creating healthy habits that last is the hard part. The Whole30's Food Freedom Forever offers real solutions for breaking the cycle of yo-yo dieting and the resulting stress, weight gain, uncontrollable cravings, and health complaints.

In her detailed 3-part plan, Melissa shows you how to discover food freedom for yourself, no matter how out of control you feel; walk a self-directed path that keeps you in control for months on end; gracefully recover when you slip back into old habits; and create the kind of food freedom that stays with you for the rest of your life. The Whole30's Food Freedom Forever walks you through the Whole30 program and teaches you how customize your reset for improving and stabilizing energy, getting a handle on stubborn sugar cravings, reducing systemic inflammation, and fine-tuning your vegan diet. You’ll learn how to spot your specific triggers before they’re pulled and new strategies for dealing with temptation, strengthening your new healthy habits, and boosting your willpower. Melissa also shares advice for retaining your food freedom during holidays, vacations, periods of life stress, social pressure, and skepticism from friends and family. By the last page, you’ll have a detailed plan for creating the perfect diet for you, finding your own healthy balance, and maintaining the kind of control that brings you real food freedom every day.

"Let me preface this review that I am a Melissa Hartwig fan. I think she is totally bad ass. I have done quite a few Whole30's since 2012 when it wasn't as widly as popular as it is now. I have all of her books but the new cookbook and I am so disappointed in this book. I actually even pre-ordered it and have it in a Kindle edition and a hardcover because I was so sure Melissa was going to tell me something new and worthwhile. I love her writing style and her messages.

First, the content of this book is not based on emotional eating or eating problems. It is pretty much the Whole30 packaged with a new cover. There is nothing new here but it's marketed about changing the psychology of your eating for those people that are YO-YO eaters or have food issues. Let's face it, if you are doing a lot of Whole30's you probably are.

As indicated in some of the less favorable reviews already mentioned she basically advocates that you YO-YO on and off Whole30, I even read the book twice just to make sure I didn't miss something.

I can only give it 2 stars because there was no new content and I didn't believe in her message at all. Yes, I know a Whole30 isn't a "diet" - it's a "reset" but restricting major food groups over and over in new ways does nothing to help a disordered eater. I think one of the problems is the author will admit that she hasn't suffered from disordered eating herself. It's clear she just doesn't have the voice to really help people in this matter and no amount of her "tough love" approach will change the message here.

Anyway, I didn't like the message and I felt it was just her way of trying to capitalize another book off the Whole30 brand. Who can blame her to try? As mentioned I love Melissa- she has made a business and a national movement out of eating whole real foods, what is not to love? I even follow her on Instagram-But this book was just a miss. There are other books on intuitive/emotional eating that are much better and to be honest I kind of think her method as described could do someone more harm than good. Lastly, I know Melissa mentions Whole 30's might not be appropriate for people with a history of disordered eating but this book is marketed to help someone who might have emotional issues with food."

The Whole30 Food Freedom Forever Letting Go of Bad Habits Guilt and Anxiety Around Food Melissa Hartwig 9780358097426 Books Reviews

• Note I am a long time Whole 30/Melissa Hartwig fan.
  
  For that reason, I expected a lot out of this book. She originally said (and says again in the book) "I wrote this book for you"--people looking for the answer to "I finished the Whole 30--now what?"
  
  A lot of the concepts in FFF hinge on whether eating Food Xyz is "worth it" based on a number of factors (previous experience eliminating/reintroducing the food, the specialness of it, the circumstance surrounding your desire to eat it etc).
  She references the Sugar Dragon (a concept introduced in previous blog posts/books) and briefly touches on "food with no brakes" (another concept from her first book) but some of the advice in this book seems counterintuitive to those concepts, thus making everything kind of muddled. How can I eat a cupcake whenever I want, if I decide it truly worth it, but avoid waking the sugar dragon who loves when I eat food with no brakes, such as the cupcake.
  She references her previous drug addiction and some tools she learned in recovery that can be applied to your relationship with food. Except that you wouldn't tell an alchoholic they can have wine sometimes or an addict they can do a line if it's really worth it etc. An addict has to have a complete severing of the relationship with that they are addicted to--obviously not possible with food but maybe possible (or necessary) with some TYPES of food or drink or the ways in which you consume them.
  
  I feel there was a big opportunity missed here in this regard-- sometimes, when you have used food as comfort or reward or social lubricant or celebration etc, it's always worth it. You eat it/drink it even though it has consequences because it makes you feel better in the moment. I wouldn't necessarily label this disordered eating (which Melissa has said before none of her programs are for/address)--there's not a person on the planet who hasn't, at one time or another, eaten or drank too much, turned to chocolate or a cupcake when they've felt stressed or down or become attached to a food routine (a snack and tv in the evening, coffee every morning before anything else etc). So then instead of having a solution for managing these situations, the advice is do it, when it goes too far/get too bad go back to the beginning and reset.
  
  Another Hartwig-ism is "riding your own bike"--what you do after the you take off the training wheels of relearning about food on the W30. I felt like instead of advice for what to do when I'm getting tired riding my bike, or it starts to feel like I'm all uphill or on rough roads, the advice was ok go back to flat roads and training wheels. So it's just re-riding the same well worn path over and over and over again.
  
  I've levelled up. I'm not where I was when I came to whole 30. Respectfully, I was looking for guidance for this new level.
  
  If you've read the previous book and are a regular follower of w30/Melissa on social media, you have heard a lot of these concepts and ideas before.
  
  In fact, if you're coming to the book from W30 and/or the previous books, the first third-first half will be old news. I get it from a publishing perspective, that they want the book to be able to stand on its own independently and not require previous knowledge, but it's kind of a downer when a significant chunk of your new book is stuff you've read/learned before.
  
  What I was looking for in this book was this I've done the Whole 30, I lived the lifestyle for years, I am extremely well versed in which foods make me more or less healthy. Overall, my diet is on the "dirty end of paleo" which is to say very clean in terms of the majority of daily diets (ie the "bad food" I am eating is not highly processed artificially coloured food-like substances, it's eating the good foods too much or too often) The problem is, I don't know how to quit the ones that make me less healthy. I always think of the Robert Downey Jr quote “It’s like I’ve got a shotgun in my mouth, with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gun metal." My brain knows the right behaviour and why, and that I feel better when I eat whole30ish, but I can't stop turning back to sugar, or cream, or overeating. I've had to tell myself, I know those foods make you feel good, but not eating them feels good too, just in a different way.
  
  Maybe that wasn't Melissa's intent with this book, or it's beyond the scope of her experience or understanding. But with the title of the book being "Food Freedom Forever" and not "Eat a Cupcake if it's Worth It" I guess I was hoping for more.
  
  The book may still have value for people who are new to her ideas or are looking for tools to further their food experience beyond W30. When I read It Starts With Food it changed my life. FFF sadly did not.
  
  And Melissa, when you read this, I still love and follow you, the book just wasn't what I had hoped.
• Let me preface this review that I am a Melissa Hartwig fan. I think she is totally bad ass. I have done quite a few Whole30's since 2012 when it wasn't as widly as popular as it is now.

• I pre-ordered this book months before its release. I love Whole 30. I follow the Instagram, Facebook, any account I possibly can. The recipes are AWESOME and Melissa knows her stuff, is well researched, and has a great narrative voice. My issue with his book is that it basically advocates, or at be very least, accepts yo-yo dieting as a way of life. I get it it's not called a "diet" it's called a "reset" because the main goal isn't losing weight. And you technically aren't restricting CALORIES, but you are restricting a great deal of TYPES of food during the reset. There's a ton of research showing that overly restrictive plans don't last and as much as I love the Whole 30, every time I go on it, my brain does, well...all the rebelling a brain does when you tell it you can't eat something. So basically the idea is restriction, reintroduction, relax a little until you eventually fall off the wagon, rinse and repeat. The same cycle chronic dieters have been trying to break.
  I will also say this Melissa does state that Whole 30 isn't for people with a history of disordered eating. I would go so far to say that this book isn't for chronic dieters looking to break the cycle either. Once the shiny newness wears off, like it does with any diet...or reset, you're back in the same spot with your willpower spent.
  
  There's a great book called Intuitive Eating that helped me break the diet cycle AND the remarkable thing is, I'm basically eating mostly Whole 30 recipes now a days, but not after a long process of learning to turn off the food police. I'd definitely recommend that one if this just isn't what you were looking for.
