I found the information in this book helpful, although not ground breaking. It focuses on hormonal imbalances and stress which is helpful for so many women.

I tried to like the authors and enjoy learning from them, but if I am honest, I didn't. Their writing style made it difficult to get through the book.

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

Okay. This book is slow reading because it is too much. With the title of hangry babe, you might think that it is light-hearted but you would be wrong. It feels similar to a first novel where the author puts in everything but the kitchen sink. I would have liked it more if this focused on a few of their ideas such as ACES and 54321, then maybe a follow-up book with the supplement information.

Hangry is an empowering read letting woman get back their mojo by using a personalized diet and exercise plan.

No one wants to be an Hangry B*tch. This book will describe why woman feel tired all the time, have sleep issues, and feel overwhelmed. Spoiler partial answer: we are overwhelmed because we try to do too much for others instead of ourselves.

Hangry gives a comprehensive explanation of how and why hormones, poor eating and either over or under exercising is causing our problems. It gives a solution of five pillars and five habits. The five pillars are:
1. Find and commit to what works for you
2. Opt out of overwhelm
3. Full-engagement living
4. Be your best friend
5. Be who you are
The five habits are:
• 5 walks per week plus 5 minutes of breathing per day
• 4 meals per day
• 3 strength training sessions per week
• 2 liters or more of water per day
• 1 commitment to rest, recovery and real-self care
Each week of the four-week plan works on at least one of the pillars and builds one or more of the habits. The diet incorporates a combination of paleo and Mediterranean diets (lean proteins, avocado-type oils, limited fruits & starchy veggies as carbs, and a required one pound of non-starchy veggies per day). The exercise plan encourages strength training leading up to heavier weights than usually used by women and walking while practicing breathing, meditation and mindfulness.

This is one of the better diet books I’ve read lately. I like that it doesn’t talk down to its reader. It also combines science and advice I’ve seen in a bunch of other books, which will save the reader from reading all of them and trying to merge them together by herself. Of course, I love quizzes so the quiz to determine potential hormone issues is perfect. Plus it picked out one hormone issue that my doctor had already found to be true through blood tests. Overall, if you are looking to commit to a diet/exercise plan now that it is bikini season, this is a good place to start. 4 stars!

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Hangry is an in depth explanation of hormones and how they work so that women can really understand that fixing symptoms is more complicated than just changing one thing.

Explanations in Hangry include why women get stressed, so tired, hangry and just plain miserable. I would recommend Hangry to someone who has the time and energy to really invest in learning about a woman's body...and how to work toward healing and recovery. Authors Fragoso and Kalanick make every effort to go beyond saying watch the processed foods and sugars, to provide guidelines on eating in ways that allow for hormonal balance. I highly recommend this book to start reading on how factors like our diet, exercise, stress, environment impact us and what we can do to lose weight, balance our symptoms and live a life we enjoy. It is a great overview of our bodies and provides a realistic eating and exercise plan along with other helpful tools to get our bodies back in harmony.

Great book on managing hormones! Tons of information on diet exercise, stress, etc. For anyone struggling with brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, digestive issues, or burnout, this book is invaluable! Lots of great resources in the back.
