A refreshing and compassionate read
I picked up Fed Up expecting familiar weight loss advice, but Sophia Elan delivers something much deeper. What stood out most was the section where she explains that weight gain is often a signal, not a personal failure. Her breakdown of how stress, sleep disruption, and hormones can quietly block progress made me pause and rethink years of self blame. I especially appreciated how she challenges the “eat less, move more” mindset without shaming the reader. The tone is calm, validating, and empowering, making it feel like guidance rather than instruction.

This is not a diet book, it is a clarity book. I finished it feeling understood, informed, and hopeful. If you have been doing everything “right” and still feel stuck, Fed Up offers answers that finally make sense.

Sophia Elan has done an excellent job with Fed Up. This book feels less like a lecture and more like a supportive conversation with someone who truly understands the frustration behind weight loss struggles. I appreciated how clearly and compassionately she explains that the issue is not laziness or lack of willpower, but a complex mix of biology, mindset, and lifestyle.

The part I loved most was the section where she dismantles the tired “eat less, move more” narrative and replaces it with a more humane, realistic approach to health. That paragraph alone felt freeing and validating. Fed Up is empowering, practical, and deeply respectful of the reader’s experience. A truly well done and thoughtful guide.

Fed Up: Why Can’t I Lose Weight? is a refreshing and deeply compassionate take on weight loss that finally tells the truth many books avoid. Sophia Elan doesn’t shame, lecture, or oversimplify, she educates, empowers, and truly understands the reader. What makes this book stand out is how clearly it connects mindset, lifestyle, and biology, helping you see weight struggles not as a failure, but as a puzzle that can be solved with the right insight. It’s practical, validating, and surprisingly uplifting for such a short read.

A well done, thoughtful guide that replaces frustration with clarity. If you’re tired of diets that don’t work and advice that doesn’t stick, this book is absolutely worth your time.

[Dion Marquise · Rating 5 out of 5]

There’s a moment in Fed Up where Sophia Elan gently breaks down why two people can eat the same meal and have completely different results. That single passage stopped me cold. It felt like someone finally put words to years of quiet frustration I didn’t know how to explain.

What makes this book special isn’t just the science , it’s the compassion. Elan doesn’t treat weight like a moral failure. She treats it like a story, shaped by biology, stress, habits, and self belief. That shift alone is powerful. This isn’t another “try harder” book. It’s a breathe deeper, understand more kind of guide , and that makes all the difference.

Fed Up goes beyond the outdated eat less, move more narrative to thoughtfully explain why weight loss is often far more complex. Sophia Elan clearly connects biology, mindset, and lifestyle, offering an empathetic perspective that removes blame and stigma from weight struggles.

Concise, empowering, and refreshingly humane, this book reframes weight management in a realistic and sustainable way.

Fed Up doesn’t shout instructions, it sits beside you and asks better questions. What stayed with me most was how Sophia Elan gently dismantles the shame so many of us carry around weight, replacing it with clarity and self respect. This isn’t a diet book; it’s a reframing of the entire conversation, especially around biology, burnout, and the quiet habits we overlook. I finished it feeling informed, validated, and unexpectedly lighter, even before any physical change. A refreshing, humane guide for anyone tired of blaming themselves for a system that never fit.

“Fed Up” is the book every frustrated dieter didn’t know they were waiting for.

In just a few pages, she shifts the conversation from willpower to whole person wellness, and it’s empowering. This isn’t about forcing your body to change; it’s about finally listening to it. Honest, refreshing, and deeply validating, Fed Up feels like a supportive hand on your shoulder saying, you’re not broken, you’re just missing the right lens.

[Phillip Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book felt like a deep exhale. Instead of talking at me about discipline and calories, Sophia Elan gently walked with me through the real reasons weight loss can feel so impossible. I found myself nodding a lot , especially at the parts that reframed “failure” as missing information, not personal weakness. It’s rare to read a wellness book that feels both grounding and quietly radical at the same time.

Why I loved it: it replaced shame with clarity, and for the first time, weight loss felt understandable rather than overwhelming.

[Ava Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

What stayed with me most was the scene where you describe standing in the kitchen late at night, catching yourself before “mindless snacking,” and gently asking, “What am I really needing right now?” That simple pause felt so human , and it changed the way I think about my own habits.

“Fed Up” doesn’t shame or oversimplify; it shows how mindset, stress, sleep, and self compassion all weave into real health. I finished the book feeling encouraged, understood, and actually equipped to make kinder, lasting changes.

[Becca Woodward · Rating 5 out of 5]

One moment that truly stayed with me was when Sophia breaks down why “doing everything right” can still lead to weight gain, especially the section where she explains how stress hormones quietly sabotage progress. That chapter completely reframed how I see my own struggles and removed so much unnecessary self blame. Fed Up isn’t just informative; it feels like a compassionate conversation that finally makes the pieces click. A refreshing, empowering read that goes far beyond typical weight loss advice.

[Jessica Brendlyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

What really stayed with me in Fed Up was the moment Sophia asks readers to examine hidden stress and hormonal signals instead of blaming discipline. That section completely reframed why “doing everything right” can still feel like failure. The book is compassionate without being vague, and practical without being preachy. I finished it feeling understood, and more hopeful, rather than pressured.
