It works, and it's Healthy

My wife came to me and asked me to help her get in shape. Being a workout fanatic most of my life, helping her with the exercise part was easy. But the eating part was tougher. I eat healthy but don't have any set receipes or methodology; so I bought Denise's book and followed it religously for the first three to four weeks, doing all the shopping, cooking etc. She lost more than 12 lbs, looks wonderful and really has liked the food. We still use the book has a guide but mix in receipes from other sources like Cooking Light magazine etc., but we maintain Denise's daily intake of calories (about 1500) and fat -- about 25 percent -- for my wife. Denise is so upbeat, sensible and fun to read and watch. Besides being beautiful, she is full of common sense about eating and exercise. If you want sensible, good food -- not "diet" food, buy this book and follow it. It works. Thanks, Denise. You're the best.

You better believe!

This book is excellent. Easy to read, easy to follow, easy to enjoy. Even though I'm an extremely picky eater, I was able to lose 17 lbs., and my goal was 15. Denise is right, once you train yourself to do something, it's hard to go back. My stomach used to be able to hold an entire bowl of pasta from my favorite restaurant, but now I can only eat about 1/3 (all I really need antway!). Everyone should have this book.

Common sense approach to losing weight without straving !

This is the book for those of us who are carrying a bit extra weight. I bought the book on my 3 year old's birthday and have already lost 4 lbs. This is an easy plan to live by, not just diet. I love the cracker jacks for snacks and the triscuits with cream cheese. I always thought snacks had to be celery sticks or carrots! The meals are simple to prepare and the dinners are not always family adaptable so I substitute a bit. Like another reviewer, I found the diet initially expensive to start but worth it. I think I will actually achieve my goal after 3 years of trying all kinds of other diets that I only could stick to for a day!

Great book!

Denise Austin has written a very clear, step-by-step book for losing the last 10 pounds. I am on Week #2 of her 28-day plan and have lost 5 pounds already. I feel great and know that I have developed muscle as well. Her instructions are quite clear, and she keeps each day interesting by doing different exercises. (I particularly like the toning exercises! ) I have a very sedentary job and now have incorporated her "Fidgetcizers" into my daily routine. Only downside is that some of the recipes contain uncommon foods. I just spent extra time going through the 4 weeks and creating my own meal plans for each day, eliminating those foods I did not like or had no idea what they were!

fun and motivational

I really like this book because Denise Austin makes it really a lot of fun to lose those last ten pounds with not only different kind of exercises and Yoga/Pilates moves to stretch and tone, but also her recipes are easy to prepare and very tasty and I didn't get bored with the whole program. I do like that she tries to motivate you not only to exercise and workout but also for the day-to-day stuff. I didn't regret to have bought that book and can highly recommend it.
