Men's health does it again

The book is a real down to earth acount of real men losing weight. Reading the different "tricks" that people use is helpful, giving the reader insight to new tricks that they can use. The work out program with simple equipment that can be used at home is great. Not everyone can or wants to go to the gym. I wish it had more recipes though.

Easy to follow and very motivating

Very easy read. But nothing really new in the world of weight-loss. What I do like about this book, is that it gives dozens of real-life case studies of how ordinary people improved their fitness and lost unwanted weight. It gives a person a good idea that if someone else can do it, then "why not me?" Good motivator for those who are humming and hawing about getting slimmer and healthier. I also liked the wide variety of eating and exercise plans. Something for everyone. Doug Setter Author of Stomach Flattening

inspirational

this book presents many stories of men who were badly out of shape that were able to overcome obstacles to become fit and trim. Any man who wants to get into shape can derive great inspiration from these strong men who did it themselves.

Inspirational and instructive

The real value of this book is not so much the workout and diet program, but the success stories of several men who range in age from their early 20s to 40s and have lost a considerable amount of weight. What is unique about the book is that none of the men featured in it have followed the program in the book. This does work, however, because the message I got from those stories is that we can't just rely on this workout or that diet to lose weight and get in shape. Ultimately, we all have to figure out what makes sense to us and what works for us and fit it into our own lifestyle. There are some common threads that run through each success story and if you focus on those things, you can succeed no matter what approach you end up taking.The diet and workout program presented in the book is based on some sound research and will probably work if you give it a try, but even if you don't follow the specific program in the book, it's still worth buying so you can learn from others who have successfully beaten their weight problems in their own way.
