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!

Awesome

While I'm not obese, I am slightly overweight. After beginning a vigorous exercise routine, I was having a hard time finding a diet that would help me be healthy from the inside out and shed this annoying layer of belly fat that won't go away. I purchased this book and read almost the entire thing in two days. I began implementing Jackie's suggestions and I'm already feeling better, feeling lighter and my stomach is already a little less pudgy. Jackie's book is not a diet--it's a lifestyle change with a ton of information explaining why you're fat including a lot of info on hormones, detoxing, exercising (including what seems like over 20 exercises you can do at home), supplements, gym etiquette, the food industry and how it's making you sick, an eating-out guide and more. Her plan is easy, practical and very doable. It's real-life nutrition set in a world where crap is shoved in your face everywhere. Yes, it's hard to make a change from eating carrots instead of oreos but it's WORTH it. I have cut sugar and now can barely tolerate any when I actually have it. I used to love soda but now it tastes downright nasty. The two cheat meals she allows you will keep you on track and stop you from binging. If you want to really treat your body well and "eat clean" to give your organs a break and age better, this is for you. It is NOT a get-thin-quick fad diet thing. It's real changes to make you healthy and regain power over your body. You're worth more than chips and triple chocolate cookies. Jackie has yet to disappoint in my opinion and this book will remain a staple in my life forever! THANK YOU Jackie!!
