Dr. Kundrat approaches health and wellness with a holistic approach that is a breath of fresh air within this space. "Eat Move Groove" personifies your health as an advocate of joyful, sustainable living. Given the plethora of her experience, she explains the approach as a practical scienctist that anyone can understand and implement. I enjoyed the base, easy-to-remember framework that can be adjusted based on your goals/needs!

Overall, with all the noise and fads of the wellness industry, I would recommend this book as a great foundational framework for your health journey.

And having been a student of Dr. Kundrat, it was amazing to read her approach to wellness that I had the honor of being taught while pursuing my undergraduate degree.

Eat, Move, Groove is a refreshing and practical guide to building healthy habits that actually stick. Written with warmth and expertise, the book seamlessly blends nutrition science, movement strategies, and mindset shifts into a practical framework that anyone can follow.

What makes this book stand out is its focus on balance and sustainability rather than perfection.

Each section flows naturally—from eating well and staying active to cultivating a positive mindset and routine that supports long-term wellness. The tone is motivating yet down-to-earth, featuring numerous real-world examples and practical tips.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your health goals or find more joy in your daily habits, Eat, Move, Groove offers the perfect mix of education, encouragement, and empowerment.

A must-read for anyone ready to create healthy habits that last!

Eat Move Groove is the best book I ever read about nutrition!
Eat Move Groove by Susie Kundrat offers a refreshingly practical and joyful approach to building sustainable wellness habits. The book’s central framework—the 2211 Plan—breaks healthy living into three accessible pillars: eating balanced meals with fruits and vegetables, protein, whole grains, and healthy fats; incorporating 22 minutes of cardio and 11 minutes of strength training; and finding 22 small, meaningful ways to “groove,” or bring joy and balance into daily life. Through clear guidance and flexible strategies, Susie transforms nutrition and movement into something simple, doable, and genuinely enjoyable. Eat Move Groove is an encouraging and actionable resource for anyone seeking a realistic path toward better health and well-being.

As a Nigerian nutrition professional, I found Eat Move Groove by Susie Kundrat truly transformative. The book presents wellness as something realistic and enjoyable, not restrictive or complicated. What made it stand out to me is how easily the principles can be adapted to different cultures and diets. The 2211 plan is simple but powerful, encouraging balanced meals and daily movement that work with foods like rice, beans, plantain, and vegetables we enjoy in Nigeria.

The author’s tone is encouraging and down to earth. She explains nutrition science in a clear way that motivates you to make small but consistent changes. I especially appreciate how she connects physical health to emotional well-being and community support.

Eat Move Groove is an AMAZING book that is based on a plan for eating, moving, and grooving every day. It is not a diet or a strict schedule; this plan is adaptable for every person to enjoy. The 2211 plan is about incorporating all types of food and exercise into our daily routines, while not feeling restricted or bound to "healthy foods" or burdensome exercise. This book is so special because it emphasizes positivity in how we eat, move, and groove. Susie does an excellent job fostering a safe space for finding joy in all aspects of life.

This book is incredible! As a young, active person, it can be challenging to keep a healthy, loving relationship with food, but EAT MOVE GROOVE makes it so easy. All you have to remember is a couple of numbers and give yourself grace. Reading this book has really given me a new perspective on food and how it impacts my body. I really love how the approach can so easily be applied to any aspect of your life. I definitely recommend this book!

This is the simplest nutrition and exercise plan books I've ever read. By "simple," I mean the guidelines are easy to follow and the plans are designed to help anyone who wants to eat healthier and incorporate exercise into their daily routines to be successful for the long-term. The book also includes some easy-to-prepare recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This book honestly changed my perspective. Before reading, "getting healthy" felt exhausting before I even began, because it felt like I had to change everything about myself. HOWEVER, this book provided a simple framework that now runs circles in my mind and influences the choices I make, allowing me to eat healthier, move easier, and groove happier!

[Courtney Maxfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book also includes tips, tricks, easy ways to move, and recipes. Highly recommend checking out this book and seeing how you can utilize the 2211 plan!
