It's amazing that once you open your mind to what the world has to offer, it will attract exactly what you need. In this instance, Gabi Rupp's book "The 52 Chef Habits Planner" is exactly what I need. The positives to date are: an easy to access 52 week plan, no boot camp style miracles, weeks 1 goal of setting the yearly goal in an easily understandable process with many helpful hints quotes and best of all, the lovely Gabi there to help me along the way.

The plan is very inspirational, and doesn't expect change overnight. I am set to lose weight, eat better, cleanse and learn to have a better eating plan I hope to implement for life. Oh and the goals are set so even the busiest person can become part of this. Thanks Gabi and for inspiring many to change positively and non judgmentally, your a motivational angel.

I highly recommend 'The 52 Chef Habits Planner' for those who have tried everything to reach their weight loss goal. This is a weekly planner of 52 healthy changes you can make in a year. If you are looking for unrealistic 'get quick thin' steps, then this is not the book for you. For those who are serious about committing to a healthy lifestyle for lasting results and happiness then get this book. Actually, this is more than a book on eating clean, but a guide to change your mindset and to help you form better habits to improve your quality of life.​

Much of the information in this book is not new, but it is arranged in a do-able baby-step by baby-step way which is essential for changes to be made. I really liked the links to the website which were in the text because it made it easy to get more information and kept the text simplified. I loved that she began with goal-setting because there must be specific goals, not nebulous ones like "get healthy." I may not incorporate all the habits, and some I am already doing, but I will definitely use this on my quest for the best life possible.​

I love this book! It has so much helpful information packed into each step. I like that each section has actual actions to take, and there's plenty of advice about all the different ways to get healthier. Nowadays, we need all the help we can get, and this inspirational book makes it easier. I love how everything is organized and set up, and spelled out clearly for those of us who need help in this area. It's amazing the wide scope of this book. I highly recommend this one!

Gabi Rupp’s “52 Chef Habits” is absolutely a must-have for anyone who is looking to positively improve their life. She has created a weekly habit planner that each week provides a way to change the reader’s lifestyle in terms of eating, fitness, or overall happiness. On one side of the page there are simple, easy steps to helping incorporate change, ideas for how to reward oneself after completion of the change, and ideas for triggers (which remind the reader to follow through with the change). On the next page will be space for the week where you can write down your own rewards and triggers, a quote that applies to the change, space for a meal plan, as well as the date for which you instilled your change. There is one new change for each of the 52 weeks.

None of the changes are drastic, nor do they cost copious amounts of money. They can be used by anyone and everyone who is seeking guidance in becoming healthier and happier. Some of the changes include practicing meditation, developing a positive attitude, cutting out shopping, drinking green tea, motivating your kids for clean eating, getting more sleep, stopping emotional eating, and simplifying meal planning. Although everyone knows what they should be doing to be healthy, it can be difficult putting the ideas into motion.

With this book, I was able to get the motivation and accountability I needed to be incorporating these changes into my life. As a result, I have been eating healthier, exercising more, and most importantly, feel like I have successfully made myself healthier. If you want to take care of your body and mind, buy this book, use it, and make yourself proud!
