Summary
What can Jane Austen teach us about health? Prepare to have your bonnet blown....
From the food secrets of Pride and Prejudice to the fitness strategies of Sense and Sensibility, there's a modern health code hidden in the world's most popular romances.
Join Bryan Kozlowski as he unlocks this "health and happiness" manifesto straight from Jane Austen's pen, revealing why her prescriptions for achieving total body "bloom" still matter in the 21st century. Whether that's learning how to eat like Lizzie Bennet, exercise like Emma Woodhouse, or think like Elinor Dashwood, explore how Austen's timeless body beliefs are more relevant, refreshing, and scientifically sensible now than ever before. After all, it's still a truth universally acknowledged - Jane Austen's heroines don't get fat.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Interesting
Very interesting review of regency diet for all Austen fans. The arguments touch important health and lifestyle issues and are well referenced by Austen characters. I would probably take the scientific side with the pinch of salt but overall it was an enjoyable read.

More of a lifestyle
This book is more of a lifestyle rather than a diet. I absolutely loved how the author connected todays proven diet and wellbeing facts with passages of Jane’s romances as well as her personal life. He tried to back every claim with scientific facts but I am not totally convinced that some aspects aren’t just bogus. Things like the time of eating are in line with intermittent fasting etc. so, overall it makes send but, the real reason this is a great read was not just the ultra from her novels but the author’s sense of humour.

Good meal of a book!
Very much enjoyed this light, factual and witty boo from an author who clearly loves and know his Austen.

A very interesting book.
I believe this book could be very helpful, but very hard.advice to take unless you are strong minded. I myself am 84 and have been through both great sadness at times but also many blessings. I am a great fan of Jane Austin and believe this advice to be true for me..I hope this book will help others.

Jane Austen’s advocacy for health and happiness
The Jane Austen Diet provides insight into the lives, as well as the eating patterns, of the people of the regency era. Kozlowski examines Austen’s novels by comparing and contrasting their contents, specifically relating to attitudes towards health, food, and appearances. A very interesting and informative read; one that is relevant to how diet is perceived in the modern world.

Not for me...
Maybe I'm not enough of an Austin fan or maybe I'm not enough of a dieting fan but I just couldn't get into this book so abandoned it after a couple of chapters. It may improve but I just couldn't commit hours of my life to find out.
