I am a bit of a fanatic o.k. obsessive, about dieting I have read alot of books but this one was so dull I actually skipped some of it. Unless you have a lot of time it starts at 30 or 60(if your in shape) to somedays you have to exercise 60-90 minutes to follow the program. Who really has the time? Anyhow there are tons of inspirational stories actually it seemed like half the book. I don't recommend it!

This is one of many books I have bought to get into better shape. What I like most about it is correlation between fitness machine exercises and the set of stretching and strength exercises. That way, you can do them at home or at a fitness center. The book is also written in a very factual manner.
 Accelerated a bit too much! November 3, 2006

I believe what Bob says in his book (regarding health)is true and valuable, but this accelerated program is over the top. For someone like me who works out 4 x a week this program is a bit crazy. I asked myself the BIG question what happens after the program is finished; you can't maintain a lifestyle of working out like that. To me it was one more loss weight quick program.
12 Punishing weeks of kick-butt work! September 14, 2006

This book is very similar to another book the author wrote about fitness and dieting. The format is the basically the same with the first 60 pages covering emotional eating and the psychological aspects of dealing with food. The last 30 pages is a survey of current diets such as Atkins, Weight Watchers and others. The middle of the book includes a lot on specific weight-lifting exercises and aerobics. A concept I really like is the 5 Simple Eating Rules, which can be harder than you think. I also appreciated the very descriptive tables outlining the whole 12 week program of exercises. I gave 4 stars because I could have done without the emotional eating and diet survey sections. All that said, it's well written and motivating.
