WANT WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS......BUY THIS BOOK

I have struggled with excessive weight for 19 years and found Jorge and this book through my mother's e-mail to me. I curiously checked it out purchased the book which i carry with me 24/7. I have tried fads, weight watchers, herbs, carb diets, protein diets, starvation ...you name it ...and 19 years later...i am heavier each year.....do the math. I have lost 6lbs in one week on this program!!!!!! My single-parenting job along with part-time teaching and running my art and photography studio keeps me high-stressed with little or no time to myself. This 8 Minutes in the Morning fits my crazy lifestyle perfectly!It doesn't take long....it is fairly easy to complete...and actually has relieved some stress for me as well as helping me become healthy! All I can say is TRY THIS PROGRAM BY JORGE CRUISE.....I think it is in the flax oil...but I promise...you will not be hungry. I FORGET TO EAT....TOTAL NEW CONCEPT FOR ME!THIS IS THE MOST POSITIVE THING I HAVE DONE IN YEARS.....A GIFT TO MYSELF.......JUST DO IT........MERRY CHRISTMAS!Very Sincerely,Laura Haines

A MUST FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF

I'm 50 years old today and am more excited than I've ever been! This book is FANTABULOUS! It is by far the best I've EVER seen because it encompasses the whole picture: what's a protein, what's a carbohydrate (etc), which exercises to do (all of which are very basic), how to get you motivated (and stay that way) and even offers a support group (who are ALWAYS willing to help out).The 8 minutes of exercise daily are very effective and simple to do! Jorge also helps you stay accountable every step of the way! In 6 1/2 weeks I've lost 20 pounds and can't believe my energy level. Soon there will be several folks in my office who will be starting this program as well.This isn't a bunch of hype! You can eat "normal" food. Jorge hellps you change not only internally but externally as well. Everything you need to know is contained in the book (including a weight maintenance program).Even if you've tried EVERYTHING else, you NEED to buy this book and start on his program. You'll not regret it! In a few more months I'll be at my target weight and KNOW that I will be able to stay there because of Jorge Cruise and "8 Minutes In The Morning". Thanks Jorge!

This book is Great! Buy it! It Works

I was a very fit and active teen, but after I hit 30 the weight just started piling on until I found out by my doctor that I was 30 pounds over weight and needed to lose weight. I tried crash diets, but those didn't work. A friend of mine from work suggested that I read this book. She lost 15 pounds and was so excited by it that I decided to give it a try. It just made sense. This book is very easy to read and explains how the body works and what you need to do to lose weight. I went out and bought the oils right away and started with my 8 minute workout the very next morning. That was two months ago and I have already lost about 20 pounds. I can't believe it. Jorge's book really encouraged me to keep going. Once I saw the weight starting to drop off that gave me momentum to continue. I eat so much better now and like feeling strong and healthy. I would strongly recommend you buy this book if you want to lose weight and feel good about yourself.

Easy, Clear, Concise, and Encouraging

I just finished reading this book and well, it's fabulous!!! Jorge's "make it plain" coaching style really helps for someone like me who has little time for nonsense. The exercise program, meal plan, and the Wake Up Talks are very clear, concise, and takes the guesswork out of trying to lose weight safely. I started the plan today and for the first time in my adult life, I didn't have a snack between meals. I mean I actually felt satisfied with smaller servings of food. Jorge encourages you to eat FATS to lose weight. But we are not talking any old fats. We're talking flax oil, olive oil, avocados, almonds, peanut butter (in small servings). These fats, esp. flax oil acts as a natural appetite suppressant and lets you go longer without snacking. I also enjoyed exercise routine, which required only minimal equipment (dumbbells, chair, and mat) and the Wake Up Talk/Journal helped me focus before I got started on the plan. It is very do-able for busy people (I'm a full time Ph.D. student who works also works 30 hours a week) who want to lose weight but not be consumed with counting calories or huffing and puffing in a step class. Worth every penny!!!
