For anyone who is "too busy"

Even though this is targeted towards enterpreneurs, this also applies to anyone who has a busy life and doesn't feel they are able to put the time aside to take care of themselves, and wind up letting themselves go. Ways to battle the bulge by following a 6 week menu plan by giving you the option of the fast food drive thru or a homemade lunch, exercises that keep your blood pumping throughout the day, motivations, myths, and also info that can apply to people who take road trips and need something to eat. The info is laid out so you don't feel like you're going through an encyclopedia to get the info you need, or feel overwhelmed. The book is one of the best I've read on the subject of fitness and nutrition in one place.

The Entrepreneur Diet

From the outside, running your own business seems like a dream come true: Be your own boss, make your own schedule, and choose your own destiny. It really is great but it is a lot of heard work too. Most of us believe that in order to stay afloat you need to be a workaholic, which most of us are. Unfortunately though, long stressful hours, quick meals grabbed on the go, and little or no real exercise eventually catches up to all of us. One day we realize that we are getting tired faster, our patience level is way too short, and our waists have grown faster than our profits. The Entrepreneur Diet seeks to help the business person with their unique needs. First, and most importantly, we need to realize that taking time to exercise, eat right, and relieve stress is an investment. If we are healthy, happy, and relaxed we will get more done, far more efficiently. Second, this text gives us ideas on how to exercise in ways that actually suit a hectic schedule. Despite that this book is aimed specifically towards entrepreneurs, I would recommend it to anyone whose life is chaotic. We all could use a reminder that taking time to take care of ourselves actually makes us more efficient and happy individuals. Plus, some of the desk exercises are quite handy and easy to do anytime.

Learn From The Pro's

In "The Entrepeneur's Diet" Tom Weede interviewed a bunch of phenomenally successful men and women and found out how they were able to fit exercise and proper nutrition into their busy schedules. These are people who need a ton of energy and to always be on their game. You would be surprised how much diet and exercise plays a part. Besides the really interesting first-person advice, Weede (who has a bunch of fitness credentials) also provides solid workout and nutrition programs. I really enjoyed this book. It had the info and inspiration all in one package.

Highly recommended

Are you so busy running your business that you don't have time to take care of yourself? Have you let your health suffer, and now feel it affects your ability to handle your business obligations? If so, this book is for you. The Entrepreneur Diet offers encouragement and support in language a business owner can understand. Starting an exercise and diet program can be compared to starting a business, and can be approached in the same manner. If you've been successfully running your business, you can translate that success into taking better care of yourself, which will lead you to a better bottom line, both for your company and yourself. The author, a former senior editor of Men's Fitness magazine and a certified health/fitness instructor, offers a total body health plan. It provides a six week menu with fast-food and quick fix options for those who don't have time to do their own cooking. Relevant nutritional information is provided for all meals. Many exercise choices are presented, including a desk workout, stretching, running or other cardiovascular exercise, and a muscle building routine. This book also discusses the benefits of stress management, yoga and meditation, all designed to make life easier for the busy entrepreneur. And it provides solutions for finding a good gym when traveling, avoiding jet-lag, and planning to stick with your food choices when you know you'll be eating a lot of meals in restaurants. Even if you're not an entrepreneur, but just a busy person always on the go, you'll find this book offers a sensible program you can live with.
