Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

For anyone who has thought that being thinner would make them happier, this book is for you.
In 2017, Alice Liveing, known as Clean Eating Alice, was the UK’s leading personal trainer, she had over half a million followers on Instagram, counted celebrities amongst her clients, appeared on the cover of Women’s Health, and even achieved her third Sunday Times bestseller. She had everything she had ever dreamed of, and more, because as she was recognised as the embodiment of health, but that was the furthest thing from the truth.
Now, having faced a sustained period of disordered eating and exercise addiction that had controlled her life for so long, Alice tells the intimate story of what led to her darkest moments of restriction, the ultimatum that forced her to change, and how she overcame those demons to find true health, happiness and find peace with her body.
Part-memoir, part-manifesto, Alice reveals how we can all move in a way that prioritises how we feel over how we look using her four pillars of fitness: Why, What, When and How. Give Me Strength is a vital, powerful and life-affirming book for any woman who has ever struggled to love their body.

I really enjoyed the audiobook version of this but I probably would have struggled with a hard copy. It was an honest account of personal experiences and clean eating culture, and I imagine it took an immense amount of bravery to write this book. I found some parts of the second half more beneficial......more

Goodreads review by Natasha on August 19, 2024

I’m really pleased I picked up this book: I am currently going through a similar intuitive eating and exercising journey to Alice and it was the right message for me at the right time. I hadn’t heard of her instagram account but I’m really pleased I can add it to my feed for some like-minded, positi......more

Goodreads review by Natasha on July 16, 2024

Wow, just wow. I will preface this review with the fact I have followed Alice since the start of 2021 and didn't know Alice in her Clean Eating Alice phase. I also have met Alice in 2022 at an event and she is one of those people who is exactly the same offline as she is online. Now that little bias......more

Goodreads review by Ali on September 17, 2024

I've followed Alice on Instagram since 2015/2016. I enjoyed her content then and I enjoy her content now. I find her an incredibly encouraging voice through all of the diet culture mumbo jumbo that we all have the right to take up space, regardless of our size. Our value is inherent and the size of......more

'So brave, and such a positive message for girls and women' Cat Deeley, on This Morning

Her voice is important and influential within the fitness space. I loved reading Alice’s book Grace Victory

Such an honest and inspiring book Leanne Hainsby

Alice candidly reflects on her journey and imparts a valuable lesson: there is no universal solution. Rather, we must take an individualised approach, recognizing that what works for one may not work for another Rhiannon Lambert
