Customer Reviews

great addition

I bought this book to go along with my Curves membership. Very helpful.

Helpful Information

This book has good information on a plan for change when away from home. The book seems easy to follow and am looking forward to the benefits outlined.

Oh, So That's What You Meant!

This book is an easy read with a description of Gary's diet that was to the point, informative, and made perfect sense. It was just like I was speaking directly with him and he even answered my questions as I thought of them. I like all of his books, but this one was of the most practical help to me in understanding and being able to follow his diet. I have made some of my own changes to my regular diet by drinking 'soyffee' a drink made from soya beans which I found on the net at www.S oy c of f e e.c om. Its a caffeine free substitute for regular coffee and very tasty.

Missing the point

The trainer who didn't approve of Curves workout (3x a week on their hydraulic machines) may be missing the point. My friends and I who joined Curves were women who were very out of shape and did not do any form of exercise. Many women who use Curves were in this same boat before joining. We felt intimidated by traditional workout clubs, but at Curves we feel like we belong ... we're comfortable. We joined Curves and we do their program at least 3 days per week. I have never been told that I am supposed to do MORE than that, by the way. Not only does it work ... but whether this trainer feels it's adequate or not, it's WAY better than what we were doing before ... which is nothing. Also, the trainer mentioned something about needing 30-60 minutes of exercise a day even if you are NOT trying to lose weight. Simply by changing my diet to Low GI foods, I began losing weight immediately ... about 5-6 pounds per month, and that is without any exercise at all. However, when I started working out as well, it went up to 7-9 pounds per month. So it sure helps, but I still lose weight even without exercise. I've lost 60 pounds so far, and it just keeps going. I love Curves and I love eating Low GI foods!

follow up to the first book

Great follow up to the original CURVES book that distills the Curves approach to getting and staying fit and healthy. Easy to reference and ready to fill in and use daily. I do wish they had printed this in a binder style format so it lays flat-easier to write in or copy a page. People really need to read this and understand what is being presented here-it is profound. Imagine raising your metabolism and caloric intake!! Way cool! No more yo-yo-ing!
