Give Me Strength: How I Turned My Back on Restriction, Nurtured the Body I Love, and How You Can Too by Alice Liveing

A vital, powerful and life-affirming memoir stroke manifesto for any woman who has ever struggled to love their body.

'For anyone who has thought that being thinner would make them happier, this book is for you'

In 2017, Alice Liveing, known as Clean Eating Alice, was the UK’s leading personal trainer.

She had over half a million Instagram followers, counted celebrities amongst her clients, appeared on the cover of Women’s Health and was recognised as the embodiment of health.

But this was the furthest thing from the truth as, in reality, Alice’s life was being controlled by sustained periods of disordered eating and an addiction to exercise.

In Give Me Strength, Alice shares her story in full for the first time; what led to her darkest moments of restriction; the ultimatum that forced her to change; and how she overcame those demons to find true health, happiness and find peace with her body.

Revealing the four questions she asks herself before working out, Why, What, When and How, Alice shows how us how we can all move in a way that prioritises how we feel over how we look - and ditch the idea that being thinner will make us happier, for good.
