Not just another diet and exercise book

The Promise: Fat Loss & Fitness System by certified fitness consultants Derek and Don Alessiis is not just another diet and exercise book. These two brothers collaboratively draw upon more than a decade of practical experience with professional atheletes and busy professionals to present a scathing expose as to why simple "dieting" is a poor way to lose weight - simply reducing one's calorie intake merely causes the body to slow down its metabolism, in an ancient, inborn defense against starvation. The Promise instead proffers a twofold path to better health: proper nutrition, ensuring that one's food intake is balanced and contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals, and moderate exercise to build lean muscle tissue. A tested and meaningful guide to improving one's health and overall well-being, The Promise is very highly recommended reading for anyone concerned with their physical health and well-being.

Get up & start today!

I have really enjoyed reading The Promise. After 23 years of treating a major back injury with the use of alternative modalities, a month ago I have started walking and am up to 3 miles 3-4 times a week. I added small weights in at home for the arms and am doing a beginner Pilates tape on the days I don't walk. I am looking forward to incorporating more of your tips into my routine. I like the format that you have used because it is easy to follow and you don't make me feel like a "dummy" because I didn't already understand the things you were describing.

Finally, a book that isn't claiming weight loss "overnight"

In today's world where we seem to need everything overnight it was refreshing to read the truth which is that somethings cannot be acheived that quickly. The authors of The Promise are up front and let you know that personal health and fitness is a life long commitment. They warn against the marketing of all these 'magic pills' and 'quick fixes' and explain why they don't work. Being someone who has tried them all, it was uplifting to realize that it was not me, but rather these products that were the real problem. Their use of real life encounters also helped in realizing that others have had the same problems that I have had and that with hard work and dedication to good health I can achieve my fitness goals. I also enjoyed them exposing the 'fat free' marketers and explaining what that term really means. This is truly a great book!
