Excellent book. I had intended to read when it was released in 1991 after reading 2 other books by co-author Robert Haas, but didn't. Came across in a used book store recently and I was pleasantly surprised. Cher's body today, 30 years later, is marvelous and gives strong evidence that her program works very well. The only tenet of her program that I noticed that has been obsoleted by nutrionalists today was the role of healthy fats. Cher and Robert Haas regarded all fat as taboo and today we know there are heart healty fats. Otherwise the book still has solid exercise and nutrition information. I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to read it, albeit 30 years later.

Last year I saw Cher perform live in Vienna. I was bowled over by how fantastic she looked in her 70’s. I read this book to try to learn how she does it. The book was written in her 40’s in conjunction with Robert Haas her dietician. Cher is v dedicated to exercise and devotes 90-120 minutes a day to workouts like strength training and cardio. She never drinks and she sticks to a high protein low cholesterol diet. I didn’t like the recipes in this book because they were aimed at the American market with everything measured in cups and references to butter buds.

This is peak 90s Cher and I love it. It’s part workout guide, part cookbook, part beauty tips... and somehow it all feels really practical. The recipes are solid, the fitness stuff is approachable, and Cher’s little stories make it fun instead of preachy.
It’s not just a celeb cash-in, it actually feels useful. Plus, it’s Cher telling you how to be fabulous and healthy… what more do you need?

Oh, Cher. That's really all that I can say.
