Best Diet Book

After 30 years of dieting and reading diet books I have seen it all. I purchased this book and have been on the plan one week (after the first 2 weeks). I lost 2 pounds and 1 inch, and my stomach is flatter than it has been in years. I find the diet easy to follow and it fits right into my life style without purchasing tons of products or specialty foods. I basically can eat what my family is eating just eliminating a few things. For me, the treat meals work well. It gives me something to look forward to and gives me motivation to stay clean the other 5 days. The exercise plan clearly is very clear and can be done at home with minimal equipment. I highly recommend this book.

one of the best books on the topic

This is one of the best books on the topic that I've read. She actually allows cheating on weekends (and a cheat is not just a 200 calorie cheat). She talks about eating "clean" five days a week- which is "do-able".The back of the book has several workout routines which are intense. I didn't buy the book for that as I have alot of dvd's but that was definitely a nice bonus.There's alot of information while still being easy reading. I defiitely recommend this book.

This Is Why You're Fat by Jackie Warner

Jackie Warner may be the fitness guru to the stars but this book is a book for anyone that wants to lose weight and get healthy. I liked the layout of the book as she lays out the plan and what you should do and follows with helpful extras. The book contains detailed pictures and instructions for the weight training portion of the plan, menus and recipes, and appendices with charts to help you plan and track your meals and exercise. Jackie writes in an easy to read, motivational, get your butt in gear and do it attitude that I really liked. The food plan is one that I would actually use with food items I would eat. Most of the diet and health books I have read before contain ingredients and food items that I have never heard of or are items that are hard to find in my area. I am overweight and unhealthy and this book has motivated me to make a change. I have set up another blog just for my journey in following Warner's plan. I would love for any of you to join me in using her plan or just stop by to read about my journey. Check it out at: [...]

One of the best fitness / nutrition books I've read

I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to make a change for their health and personal fitness. A lot of what Jackie says about sugar and chemicals and pesticides in our food was a real wake-up call. Her detailed, simple explanations regarding diet and exercise went above and beyond the normal "calories in / calories out" explanation (which is true to a CERTAIN extent, but that's a very simplified way of looking at things and there's a big difference between an 80 calorie cookie and an 80 calorie hard boiled egg). I changed my eating habits to follow her advice in the book and I can already see a difference in the way I feel and look. I never really got into the show "Workout" but I really enjoyed Jackie's writing and her advice WORKS and it's very easy to follow. You are worth it; I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in changing up their diet and fitness routines!
