Once, I went on a three month trip through the Rockies with a group of 12, and there were two women named Stephanie. (My name is spelled ‘Stefani,’ but pronounced ‘Stephanie,’ to be clear. Maybe I should have told you that years ago. *Sigh.) In order to distinguish, she became “Stephie G” and I became “Fani.” As in, if you pronounced my name like Gwen Stefani and left off the ‘Ste.’
So anyway, long story short: I am Fani.
And when I talk in third person, I am Fani.
Fani is all over the internet these days, and how amazingly fun is that?
This is what is going on:
–Sexy by Nature is again hovering around the #1 spot in the category “whole foods” on Amazon!
This doesn’t mean much, though. The book shot up in the rankings because I just this week got some reviews on some important websites (more about which in a minute). It’s performance has actually been quite low. My heart’s not broken, not quite, I do believe in us!, but I am definitely working hard to keep our numbers growing!
We cannot spread the good love and food word if we don’t have word of mouth.
So this is where you come in.
Did you buy the book? Could you write a review? Every single review is one more vote for us in the Amazon world, and, literally, every single one counts. If you could put something up on Amazon, Good Reads, Barnes and Noble, I and the rest of this movement will be indebted to you forever.
Literally. Forever.
Do you have a Facebook page? Twitter account? Pinterest? Instagram? Want to share the book with your followers? (Here’s the amazon page!) Do so and tag the PaleoforWomen page and I’ll go ahead and share your stuff back in turn!

-Last week, the popular hippy yoga largely vegetarian website Mind Body Green published an article I wrote called “6 Reasons the Paleo Diet is Great for Women.” Originally, I called it “6 Reasons the Paleo Diet is the Best Diet for Women,” but I guess they wanted to tone it down. The article’s about soy and grains and and nutrient density and eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re full.
There are a ton of really dumb comments. Sorry. That’s rude. But there’s a lot of blood type talk going on. Vegetarianism I consider to be less crazy, and a lot of hate coming from that angle, too. If you want to go defend me and our lifestyle, please, be my guest. If not, please, spare yourself the agony and don’t read the comments.
-Twitter and instagram really, really like my new “Love is the New Skinny” campaign (see here), which I am going to continue, and which I think might be the title for my next book.
Pin and tag if you like, whoopah!
(This is me, btws.)
–Sexy by Nature has been reviewed and loved by some really, really kick ass people.
Long, fun reviews:
1) Stacy Toth and blogger Courtney at Paleo Parents.
2) Heather Spergel at HeatherSpergel.com (brought tears to my eyes)
3) Nina at Paleo Owl. (A truly great review, saying this incredible bit about Sexy by Nature having “it all:”
For me personally, Sexy by Nature is like a sassy sister to The Paleo Coach. This Sherlock finally got an adequate Waston. I know that my “obsession” with EPLifeFit, Jason and his book might seem a little repulsive to you by now, but hey, so is running and chronic cardio, and pictures of fitness models with “motivational quotes” to me.
The reason that I have a Top 3 paleo books (The Paleo Coach, It Starts With Food and Primal Connections) and not just one, is that every book has “something” and no book has it all. Sexy By Nature DOES HAVE IT ALL. Sexy By Nature takes all the most important knowledge that the author gained over time, mixed it with some solid science and research, sprinkled it with sweet bits of her personality and added a provocative title on top.)
4) Liz Wolfe’s video review at Real Food Liz.
5) Kaila Prins at In My Skinny Genes
6) Jason Seib @ Everyday Paleo (another one that brought tears to my eyes. It means the world to me to have so much of Jason’s respect.)
Short and to the point reviews:
7) Danielle Walker at Against All Grain
8) Pete’s Paleo
9) Richard Nikoley at Free the Animal
And some really beautiful reviews over on the Amazon page by incredible people like Jimmy Moore, George Bryant, Russ Crandall, Sarah Fragoso, Todd Dosenberry, and Ashley Tudor.
–But, as you have seen, this is just 9 blogger reviews! And 34 Amazon reviews.
We can do so much better.
So I am! Here we go, ladies, to the mattresses, huzzah, huzzah!

I will most definitely write a review post for your book once I get my hands on it xoxo
Hi Fani! 🙂 I am super happy you loved my review!!! (I feel so special now…) You rule the internet girl. 🙂 I actually plan on reading Sexy by Nature ONE MORE TIME. I wanted to read something else, but my head is still kinda in a “sexy mode” and I don’t think I can let go of that yet… I gotta give it one more round 😀
Hi Stefani…Stephanie here 🙂
First I want to say I LOVE everything you write. Thank you for giving us paleo women resources specifically pertaining to our bodies & health!
Second…your book is being shipped as we speak & I am expecting it tomorrow. I cannot wait. As soon as I am finished I will write a review!
Keep up all the amazing work!!
Yay for doing it big! I’m buying the book soon to enjoy after my move to a higher elevation this week 🙂
I read the post at MBG and spent like 15 minutes writing a post in response to the guy who said that soy-is-healthy-for-Asian-women-therefore-it-is-healthy-period…oh wait, that was all of the men!
I stated because Asian women most likely have different adaptations/lifestyle factors (I’m not sure what it is), this may explain why they are able to tolerate soy. And the soy itself isn’t necessarily what protects these women.
Also, I linked to a study about vaccenic acid (sat fat component) injections reducing the size of premalignant mammary lesions in female rats. Oh damn, I’m repeating it here…
I’m sure I sounded like a new philosophy student who just started studying argument and logical fallacies (so, overzealous/annoying).
Anyway, I hit reply and it hasn’t gone through. Of course, every website can moderate comments to show only those that confirm what their readership believes.
That may be the reason why there are so many of those comments without any strong counterbalancing points of view.
Thank you for fighting the good fight! Someone’s gotta 🙂
