The Thigh Gap Hack: The Shortcut to Slimmer, Feminine Thighs Every Woman Secretly Desires

I was curious to see what was in this book after hearing all the controversy. There's really nothing bad in this book, Camille makes sure she gives advice that's within reason. She makes a good point that if you're lean enough, you'll have less fat between your legs just like men cut to see definition in their abs. But in order to do this, she gives you tips on how to accurately calculate a calorie deficit but not go too far because you'll just lose muscle with your fat, and you'll never actually get lean. She also explains that exercising your legs won't burn fat on your legs, it burns calories/fat proportionally throughout your body, and strength training your legs too hard will build muscle (making them thicker). This is absolutely accurate! Too many girls are misinformed about dieting and exercise, and actually her advice can prevent you from spiraling towards anorexia or over-exercising tendencies.That being said, some girls, like me, just have muscular legs. I had a DXA scan and the guy commented that my leg muscles were impressive. There it was on the results, it was rock hard muscle. But another thing is, I'm slightly knock-kneed, while a lot of girls with thigh gaps are bow legged. I actually have holes in my tights and I get rashes when I'm wearing shorts. I've been training my legs with rubber band squats and doing side leg lifts, and I can see my legs straightening out. I don't need a thigh gap when my feet are touching, but less rubbing and tripping when I'm walking makes my life easier!

It was ok it was not as good as I thought it would be. I thought it would give me better eating and exercise tips for my thighs

Good read, helpful tips.People are becoming too obsessed with the title. I bought the book in order to slim and tone my legs. I'm at a healthy body weight whether I gain 10lbs or lose 10lbs, but for some reason my legs (especially my calves) are not as slim as I would like them to be. I was never after a thigh gap but her information is VERY useful. Pretty dead on. I also read TNT Diet which I've been doing, (low-carb) works great but it's geared toward body builders which I am not. I have stubborn fat in my calves and wanted to see if this held anything else I hadn't tried. Glad I read it. I can continue my TNT Diet along with hacks and exercise tips from this book which also advocates low-carb diet as well as a healthy calorie deficit depending on the weight you want to lose, nothing about starving yourself. Only reason I gave it four stars is because I could not access the information on the website.

I don't even want a thigh gap, nor do I find it appealing on women. I personally think the social media pictures shown of girls with thigh gaps are way too skinny. I myself find voluptuous figures more attractive. HOWEVER, the reason I purchased this book is because I was intrigued about her fast track tips to losing weight. And after reading the entire book, I can honestly say it was informative and contained some "hacks" that I believe will work and will definitely try. I'll admit there were parts in the book where I found Camille to be rather defensive, and she ranted on longer than she needed to about why doing these things works. I understand her reason for doing so is because she's got so much negative stigma against her. I simply glossed over those sections of the book and skipped to actual hacks. From this book, I handpicked some tips that I strongly believe will work for me, and am ignoring the ones I know I will never comply with. Granted, you will find strategies in here that are completely unconventional and if it's not for you, don't do it. But if you think it will work for you, why not? Don't kid yourselves into believing you've never tried some pretty ridiculous strategies to reach your end goal (whether it be finding a job, meeting a man, or losing weight). Everybody needs to try what works for them, and Camille has outlined a lot of tricks that (based on my experience) seem like they will actually work, and I'm motivated to try them! At the very least, I give her the credit for putting this book together and standing by it against all the adversity. It worked for her, she's proud of it, and she's flaunting it - why put her down? If you're worried your daughter or best friend will seriously become anorexic by reading this book, than that person has WAY bigger fish to fry than putting a book down.

This book, published in 2014, was merely ahead of its time. Those of you who gave it a bad rating, should read it again, if you still own it. It talks about healthy diet and exercise. Some of the" hacks " include low carb eating, intermittent fasting, fasted cardio, calorie deficit.. .Nothing extreme at all. She advocates putting in the work. She mentions several different tools and tips that will assist you, but doesn't promise a miracle. Everything that she advocated in this book, is now being touted as healthy and effective by one fitness/ health guru or another( including Dr. Oz). She also has a disclaimer at the front of the book, that it is not for someone with an eating disorder; not because there is harmful content in the book, but because certain individuals take weightloss and exercise to extreme levels. There's a lot of good research here and, yes, some of the techniques are a bit complicated. She does offer different options, but you don't have to do any of the complicated stuff, if that's not your thing. Just follow the low starch, no sugar, plus fats and proteins, and the workouts for your body type( whether you need to focus on losing fat or fat and a little muscle). I just find the negative reviews strange and way off. Sad.

So for a book costing over £10 i would expect for it to have page numbers... I have never seen a printed book written for those with a reading age over 4 not to have page numbers. Also, there are multiple spelling errors and typos... This of which leads me to conclude that this book should not be bought if you can read and count, as the author is obviously incapable of doing so. The formatting is infuriating and looks like it has been copy and pasted from microsoft word.As for the content of the book, there is a whole lot of bulk and chitter chatter with half backed up academic articles. I do actually agree with the principles that she offers, however i wish the author spent more time and effort on finding more journals to make her ideas more credible.I wouldnt recommend this book to a friend - well not at the current price. For what it is, this book shouldnt retail for more than £5 and that's being generous.

Personally I had to stop training and cut protein to lose a lot of muscle. All my life I wanted to be skinnier so I overtrained and did high-protein-low-carb. Ended up just being bulky with still some fat in my midsection.Now I basically only eat carbs (dream life I know) and just walk a bit or nothing at all. I'm 26 so it's ok, considered i probably trained in the previous years an amount ok for the rest of my life 😂Tracy Anderson Method occasionally, to get slimmer muscles but keep the tone. I live by this now and I'VE NEVER EVER BEEN HAPPIER

This book contains scientific, evidence based information on the process of weight loss and on the effects of various exercises on your body. It is very informative and will empower you to get the body shape you desire.It teaches you how to correctly track calories and how to properly use that information to easily achieve your weight loss goals. It teaches you what different methods of exercising really do to your body and what you should avoid or choose to attain your goal. She advises gentle weight loss (1-2 lbs per week, max) and moderate, but consistent exercise (nothing too intense, but make it a regular part of your life.)This is no different than what other fitness "gurus" advise, in fact it is a lot easier and less intense than what others recommend. She advises eating real healthy food, proper meals, and dropping the junk. You could even not change your caloric intake, but simply alter your eating habits and still lose weight. The only thing is that she is open about working towards a slender, non-muscly figure, which is currently a taboo.I appreciate the author shedding pc constraints and providing the information that many women want. Her book does not promote anorexia or harmful body images. In fact it does just the opposite. This information empowers those of us who prefer a certain body type to attain what we want, not what others tell us we should. There are way too many fitness trainers spreading lies (saying we can't get bulky) and body-shaming or emotionally manipulating women into looking a certain way (you aren't a real woman if you are smaller, we are "anti-woman" if we don't want to look strong, we should love the bulky look that we supposedly can't get).The reality is that the "fit", "healthy", "strong" looks are often the result of damaging your body in the gym and following severe diet restrictions. There is a reason why slim looks are frowned on but it is currently acceptable and even encouraged for women to restrict and control their diet, spend enormous time in the gym, do intense exhausting workouts, damage their bodies, and suffer physically to attain an overtly muscular look (which many of them are uncomfortable with). Those who have an issue with women controlling their diet in order to be slender should question why it is permissible for other women to do the same thing in order to bulk up.Why is it not okay for women to monitor their eating habits and customize their workouts to have a slender look, but totally okay for women to do intense workouts which leave them so sore they are unable to function, restrict their eating habits to the point where they can't enjoy restaurant outings with friends, or sacrifice time with loved ones in order to work out as long as this results in a bulky figure (which most of them don't even like)?There is so much bias towards a superficially "fit" and "strong" look when the reality is that women can be just as fit, healthy, and strong while still attaining our preferred look.Imo, real empowerment comes from knowing and acknowledging what you truly want, equipping yourself with the tools/knowledge to achieve it, and going after regardless of what others think. Going along with the latest fads and conforming to other people's ideals while being secretly unhappy, is not.I'm glad I purchased this and I will give an updated review after testing her methods for some time (at least three months).

great read! Got some great advice ;)

I hate myself for buying this!
