Xmas Food According to Your Goddess Birth Sign

Traditionally, Christmas was my "annual season of the shameless pig-out." This was fun for a while, but as the banquet lunches were gorged, year after year, I noticed that my enjoyment of the food was diminishing and my waistline expanding.

I subsequently investigated my food choices further and in doing so, discovered a correlation between the Goddess Birth Signs and the best food choices for our bodies and our health.

... Now, in knowing the goddess birth signs for each of the members of my family, I'm able to plan a Christmas Day menu that caters for all their different tastes - whether it's a meal "fit for a king" or merely "slim pickings," everyone leaves the table feeling happy, healthy(!) and totally satisfied.

Review: The Goddess DIET

The first review for The Goddess DIET was posted at the Blissings forum this week, by Rebecca Ratliff. Thank you Rebecca!

So I just got this book on Friday, I'm a little over half-way through reading it (this isn't one of those fluffy diet books, you have to actually pay attention to the stuff you're reading), and I must say, I'm loving it! This is really great stuff, Anita. I can't help but already feel empowered by all the things you've written and are suggesting. I own several diet/wellness/health books, and this is definitely one of my favorites. It really addresses the issues that so many don't. If you're not happy with yourself, then you're not going to be happy no matter what weight or dress size you're at. And then, once you achieve that goal, since you're still not happy, you're likely to just put all the weight, along with more self-loathing, back on.

I'd definitely encourage everybody to get this book, whether you need to lose weight or not, just because it has such sound advice regarding your mental state. Thank you, Anita!

The Goddess DIET, See a Goddess in the Mirror in 21 Days

Oh my book, my beautiful book, The Goddess DIET (See a Goddess in the Mirror in 21 Days) has been despatched to the printer. 

Four years in gestation, estimated date of birth: mid-May, in time for the launch at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Melbourne on 5-8 June this year. She will be made available earlier to those who have registered for pre-release news at TheGoddessDiet.com

Here's the official blurb:

Foodies rejoice! No more dangerous dieting; no more trash talking; no more self-loathing…

When Anita Revel lost her libido, her self-respect and her aspiration to get another season out of her bikini, she embarked on a life-changing process to find her goddess within. In creating The Goddess DIET, she found dozens of Daily Intentional Empowerment Tools to realign her physical, emotional and spiritual behaviours for holistic well-being.

The Goddess DIET works because it connects the three crucial relationships between body, mind and spirit for a healthy self-esteem. Lose your inner critic, gain more energy and fall in self-love.
