Book Testimonials
As for Me and My Body takes the guesswork out of fitness and nutrition. Its step-by-step instruction compels you to be honest with yourself and identify self-sabotaging behavior. More importantly, it helps you get clear on the why behind those behaviors, allowing you to become clear on the why behind your desire to improve. The daily challenges are self-reflective, informative, and feel more like encouraging words from a friend who genuinely wants you to succeed. It feels like Candice is there with you, coaching you every step of the way. If you commit, you will transform.
~ Collier L.
As for Me and My Body is a wonderful and easy read that brings into focus the elements involved in the journey to attain healthy living, and optimal fitness along with corresponding and relevant spiritual applications. Each of the 21 days challenges you to evaluate your body, mind, and spirit through professional insight, scriptural portions, and personal stories that are encouraging and easy for anyone to understand. The external and internal projects and actions are set forth in manageable portions. The insights are presented without the fluff and complexity that other fitness experts seem to find necessary. It is a unique and refreshing perspective that will challenge you spiritually and results in a written plan of achievable goals that can transform your life!

“Stop counting calories.” “Nothing rehydrates your body like water.”
These are just 2 of the almost relieving straight forward health tips in this book. Candice gives realistic food advice, great example exercises for every muscle group, and her own inspiring stories. I love that she shares her own spiritual path and family history alongside the recommendations she gives in each chapter.
I’ve already leant the book to a friend of mine who was in Finance and turned to Nutrition and Health as an entrepreneur (like Candice): I think she’ll be inspired by it!

“As for Me and My Body” is a phenomenal read that takes both a realistic as well as a holistic approach to not only weight loss but just living a more healthy lifestyle moving forward. I appreciate that early on Candice makes it very clear that “‘As for Me and My Body’ is not: Another quick weight loss gimmick or low-quality falsely advertised product in the multi billion-dollar diet and fitness industry.” I think that is such a powerful, and necessary, disclaimer because I know that in the past, I have been guilty of getting caught up in the latest diet trend or getting mesmerized by TV and internet advertisements where weight loss/fitness results are grossly misrepresented. As Candice acknowledged would be the case, weight loss has been a very slow and steady process for me. One, because I’ll be the first to admit that I enjoy a nice, hearty meal. And two, because I travel extensively for work and so in many cases there are limited healthy food options and it can be a challenge to workout. I appreciate the grace and understanding that she offers in regards to this. I have come to understand that everyday is not going to be perfect and there are definitely going to be days where I “fall off the wagon,” but the key is to get up the next day and keep pushing forward. With all of that being said, I would highly recommend “As for Me and My Body” to everyone. Whether your goal is to lose weight or whether you simply want to work towards living an overall healthier lifestyle, I know that there is something in this book that would be beneficial to whatever category of life and wellness that you find yourself in.

This book is thought provoking and inspirational! Finding a new way to care for my mind, body and soul without “get thin quick” schemes that only serve to frustrate and become costly over time is tremendous. Giving myself grace is also beneficial as I tend to be harder on myself than others could ever be. Definitely worth the read!

When I started this book, I was looking for a program to help get me on track physically. This 21-day program brought more than that, though. Candice McField relays her personal experiences as a way to make readers think about our own journeys and how we want the 21 days to shape our future. Even though I’m not a religious person, I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a path forward that addresses weight loss while putting your spiritual self first.

I know Candice professionally and personally. I knew I liked her from the first time she called me to discuss worksite wellness. I later became a registered dietitian, my 4th career, and we continue to stay in touch. We both love helping people, and Candice has a great plan outlined in her book. Making small, smart changes…and then building from there is key to lifelong success when it comes to health.

Authentic, transparent, and forthcoming in her guidance for living our healthiest lives with patience and grace! This is the first book I’ve read that bridges my spiritually with how I care for my body. Reading this book was a great reminder that this is about a lifestyle change…no fad diets here. I appreciate the tips and tools provided by Candice to help balance my eating habits with my fitness goals. Very inspiring as this has motivated me to take my self-care (and self-love) to another level.

I first want to again congratulate Candice on a book well done👍🏽
I love the combination of the mental (mind), physical (body), and the spiritual (soul) that all leads to an overall experience! Understanding that the focus is not just the weight loss but your mindset which is guided by the spiritual for a healthier lifestyle.
It was emphasized that weight loss is not a quick fix but a process that you have to take control of that process.
Learning to incorporate the spiritual aspect has been beneficial in my routine.
So I thank you Candice for showing me a different approach to being a healthier and happier me😇
