Synopsis

Today's culture has distorted the way women view our bodies. We are hypercritical, obsessed with weight loss, and distracted by the countless advertisements we see to eat, exercise, and dress differently. But God does not call you to be thinner or to follow a perfectly clean diet plan. Rather, God longs for you to embrace your body, eat with freedom, and live with a deep sense of confidence that you are loved exactly as you are. In Fulfilled, nutrition expert Alexandra MacKillop explores physical, mental, and spiritual health through a non-diet lens, encouraging you to respect your body, honor your hunger, and embrace the unique size and shape that God created for you.

Fulfilled provides tangible steps toward changing your beliefs about food and your body. After examining the ways dieting harms a person's physical and spiritual health, the book lays out a more intuitive framework for eating that emphasizes mindfulness, satisfaction, and surrender. As you grow in your understanding of God's love for you and your natural shape, you'll be released from the shame of not conforming to a certain physical type. With Alexandra as your guide, you'll learn how to enjoy food without sabotaging your fitness goals, honor the unique body God created for you, and live out a life of love and freedom—all under the umbrella of grace.

Y'all I started reading this simply because my friend wrote it and I think it's so cool I have a doctor friend who is a published nonfiction author. I didnt think I'd get much out of it.

Goodreads review by Bethany on June 12, 2024

I’ve been following intuitive eating for almost two years now, so this information was not new exactly. But it was thorough, concise, and through a biblical lens which has always lacked in other books I’ve read. This concept has such power to help women who are in (mostly unrecognized) bondage to th......more

This book was such a blessing. I google searched while in a somewhat desperate state to feel better. I thought I wanted to be smaller but became more miserable than ever when I did. The anxiety that came on from the diet lifestyle was awful. This helped me so much already. I know this isn’t going to......more
