Give Me Strength

How I Turned My Back on Restriction, Nurtured the Body I Love, and How You Can Too

Summary

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.
