Fat Loss Happens on Monday: Habit-Based Diet & Workout Hacks
Most diet and workout books are focused on the wrong things: They focus on WHAT instead of HOW. The leanest people focus on how, on their eating habits, not on fad diets. Diets that rely on willpower and discipline fail. The path to results is made up of eleven small, simple, step-by-step habits. Rotating through phases of metabolic, endurance, and strength workouts yields the best fat-loss results.

2. The leanest people focus on eating habits, not on fad diets.

4. The path to results is eleven small, simple, step-by-step habits.
5. Rotating through phases of metabolic workouts, endurance workouts, and strength workouts yields the best fat-loss
results.
6. Pull-ups are the strength move for fat loss. A smart, progressive plan can take you from absolute zero, to your first,
third, or tenth pull-up.
7. High-intensity workouts are power tools, most effective only twice per year before important events.

This one surprised me. I've never read anything by Dan John before, but the kind people over at GMB have said in the past that they really like him, so I gave it a shot. This book wasn't really relevant to me, but the advice offered here is really sensible and based in the real world. Notable points
- Losing body fat is mostly about what you eat. Has very little to do with what or how much exercise you're doing etc.
- Something you can't sustain isn't worth much at all
- The mental aspects of training, improving your health, etc are actually FAR more important than the specifics of this or that plan.
I think what I liked most about the book was the fact that the authors write from a position of humility, not claiming all the answers.
Recommended to anyone who struggles with food, exercise/movement, weight etc.

The first half of this book should be required reading for anyone struggling to lose weight or improve their body composition (body fat). The second half provides a detailed workout program that can be substituted for any number of good programs. I've enjoyed Dan John's writing for years and was impressed with Mr. Hillis. The chapters are short and easily digested. They give novices and advanced gymrats a framework through which to view all fitness or weightloss programs. They focus on the important part, which is dietary HABITS. I have read a lot of diet and exercise material, and this was refreshing.

This book was kind of interesting in that it took a habit based approach to fat loss and in the hierarchy of habits, the workout was farther down the list than most people would think it to be. I listened to this in audiobook form and the audio quality was about podcast quality, but having Josh Hillis and Dan John narrating their own book made up for that.

A nice summary of the interplay between diet and exercise in staying lean and fit
I bought this book because it was discounted on BookBub and really had no expectations, other than enjoying other books by Dan John.
It turned out to be a nice summary of why leanness is generated in the kitchen and strength and endurance are produced in the gym.
It cut to the chase in explaining how to eat and how to exercise (whether it be with weights, kettlebells or bodyweight) and provided good rules-of-thumb to use in the kitchen and in the gym. I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

great approach
This is great approach to sustain for a lifetime. Change your everyday habbits and you will change your lifestyle. Don't do everything at once. The main goal is to lose fat and it is true that nutrition is more important than workout.
I liked the guidance and workouts.

I loved this approach to making long-term habit changes! While the book really is geared toward diet and exercise modification, one could apply these concepts to other areas of behavior modification. I found the diet and workout hacks super helpful and am in the process of applying them to my current program -

This is truly the only book you'll need if fat loss is your goal.
The basics...written in a clear and concise format, mAking it eAsy and achievable. I like this books honest and upfront approach.

If the average person read this book, and actually followed all of the recommendations to the letter, he or she would lose weight and get stronger and fitter. So in those terms, it is excellent.
Format.
this is not well suited to being an audiobook. The sound quality is amateur. The author, while nicely enthusiastic, needs to slow down and speak more clearly. The audiobook format doesn’t work well for tables, diagrams etc so when listening you don’t get much of the content.
Style.
It is exuberant and all-in enthusiastic. This is good. It shines in the narrators’ voices and makes it fun to listen.
It’s like two books in one, because it alternates between the two narrators Dan John and Josh Hillis. One is old school and the other is new school. The interplay becomes interesting where their ideas intersect.
Dan John is a staple for my start-of-year listening because his knowledgeable and no-nonsense approach to training is so inspiring. His presence lends weight to this book, which would seem very light and fluffy without him.
Content.
Very, very repetitive. Whole passages are repeated so many times that this six hour audiobook was about four hours of actual content. Maybe two, if Dan John we’re not half of it
It is pitched at a very beginner audience, so much of it was stuff that I already know. This of course is not a fault of the book.
I don’t agree with all of the author’s nutritional recommendations, but the basic premise is correct, especially the emphasis on quality of food, protein comes first, diet is more important than exercise when you want to lose fat, and absolute the need for strength training if you want to improve your health and physique.

I’m thinking a great deal of my dissatisfaction with this was that I got it as an audio book. The quality sounded like the author was sitting at a desk with laptop microphone. I believe the book could have been a lot better with better audio production and some thorough editing.
With that said, I did find a few gems throughout the book and will be implement some of the practices. I completely agree that nutrition is the first and most important portion of fitness. I like the strategy of only implement one habit at a time and working out on a cyclical schedule.
I suggest reading it rather than listening to it.

Having read a lot of fat loss and training books, the first part is kind of boring. If dieting is "new" to you or you are having trouble grasping the essentials of why you are doing this, just go through the first part. There are valuable lessons for many of you. Yes, even about food. And it's fairly simple rules, so... That is awesome. Nothing complicated: it's just about real food and the right mindset.
For me THE best parts are the workouts, the cycling of the workouts, exercise progressions and some great tips and tricks.
I also love the fact that you do NOT need a lot of equipment. A few kettlebells and a pull-up bar. I'm doing it all in my garage. No need for gym memberships (unless you don't like to buy kettlebells).
Is it suitable for real beginners? Yes, but you need to know how to properly swing a kettlebell. I'd advise following a couple beginner kettlebell lessons first and ask your trainer to focus on your form.
I'm still only halfway in the second phase, but I'm already feeling stronger, got more muscular and lost some stubborn fat. If I'd put even more focus on the diet, I would have improved even more (but that's personal stuff).
Currently my most favorite workouts ever. Yes, even after having done stronglifts 4x4 in the past (which I loved a lot, but the equipment took too much space )

I like this book. I like Dan John. I don't know Josh Hillis, but he seems cool.
The whole first section on getting nutrition right is excellent. If you want to "lose fat" / "lose weight" / "get hotter" / "look good naked" or whatever you call it, you can stop reading this review right now and buy this book. Do what it says and it will get you there. More importantly, you will become the kind of person who stays there.
The section on exercise also has some valuable information, but I have an exercise system I follow already that I like. They really push the kettlebells in this book, which is fine, but they are not my cup of tea. If you do not have a program you follow already, try this one. If you do not know very much about strength programming, this will increase your knowledge.
The biggest takeaway for me is to treat meal planning/prep like a workout. In fact, treat it like the most important workout of the week. Even with a crappy exercise regimen, you will see amazing results just by winning at nutrition.

Really great information but poorly written---if you know macros/fitness, etc. you'll be able to get a lot out of it by reading between the lines. They needed an editor because this could have been GREAT.

Some great ideas in here. Excited to put many into use. Mostly concise and clear.

Incredible REAL TALK. Even advanced concepts like Carb Cycling were broken down and made easy to understand. So many great ideas that I'm working into my own diet and exercise plan.

Josh and Dan knocked this book out of the park. A must read for any fitness professional or anyone who is looking to gain control of their nutrition habits.

All the essentials you need in an accessible format
Bottom Line Up Front: If you read only one book on the subject of fitness/nutrition or changing your physique, make it this one.
This is one of the first nutrition or fitness books I’ve read that I’ve immediately recommended to friends. This is also one of the first book reviews I’ve written because I loved this content so much. It provides you with all the tools you need to understand your relationship between food quantity/quality and your physique goals. It also provides readers with a very accessible home gym solution and programming techniques. Every resource, including coaches cues, are here. Importantly, this is one of the few training books that starts from the view point of women but is inclusive to all. Any man or woman can find their target physique with the principles discussed in this book. Read it, then recommend it to a friend.

This book was extremely helpful! I liked the chapters by Josh much more than the chapters by Dan. There were occasionally references that were not very modest sounding. That said, the simplicity and accessibility of his ideas are amazing. He stresses that the food is what makes the difference, not workouts. He has 11 habits that he suggests easing into one at a time.
1 Plan your food
2 Shop for your food
3 Cook, prepare, and portion your food
4 Keep a food journal
5 Eat tons of protein (approx 3/4 gram per pound of target body weight)
6 Track total calories and compare to weight change
7 Eat slow. Each meal should take 15 minutes
8 80% full. Stop eating when you are 80% full
9 Have healthy fats at most meals
10 Eat quality carbs (Brown rice, quinoa, sprouted grains, sweet potatoes, veggies and fruit)
11 Gratitude journal. Give thanks for the gift of your body and be thankful for what it can do.
He says the first 4 are the absolute most important.

Great read
This is a truly pragmatic approach to fat loss. It is nothing revolutionary-just really well organized and really well written advice. There are strategies listed that should help most of us who have tried to lose weight and have failed, or at least failed to keep it off.
The only thing that I did not like was the author’s (Josh, I believe) use of the word “hot”. He would talk about fat loss equating getting hotter. While I understand why that would be an appealing word to choose to sell a book/program, I do not think that it lines up with how maturely the rest of this book was written.
That’s a pretty small issue, and is the only thing I could say negatively about this book. It is truly a wonderfully informative book and a must read, in my opinion, for anyone who is serious about effective fat loss.

great book on simplifying the process
Really happy to see a full “diet” book that tackles the most important aspects of any goal: planning for the goal, preparing for the goal, and executing the goal. Josh and Dan’s emphasis on planning and prepping your meals as the two most important workouts of your week is a great takeaway, and is actually doable. Sustainable, safe, and sane, this book is a great place to start to educate yourself about eating strategically and losing weight.

This was a book full of great ideas, but since I listened to it as an audiobook, it would have really benefitted from a section of .pdfs to download which, for some reason, didn't seem to exist! This meant that the usefulness of the book was seriously impacted. Shame, as the daily tips by Josh Hillis, were really good ideas. Chapters by Dan John were exceptional, and showed both sensitivity and insight into that Big Why.

Ok I am not into training folks for weight loss because weight loss is the food, right? And I’m not that into diet books because they’re almost all total bullshit. This one is great. The nutrition makes sense, the workouts make sense, the tone isn’t gross. Huge Dan John fan. Enjoyed Josh Hillis on the internet. When I found out this book existed, I bought it despite all my aversion to this topic. A+. Literally the only fat loss book I would recommend.
January 18, 2021
A very good read. What separates this book from others in this category is the fact that it focuses on habits and a long-term approach rather than "giving you the body you want in 4 weeks", etc.
A must read for anyone struggling with their weight as well as anyone who wants to have good long-term eating and exercising habits.

Good book
I really enjoyed this book. Especially all of the diet tips and setting good habits part. It went into a little too much detail on some of the exercises but for beginners are probably very important. Buy this book, follow what it says come on and read the rewards. Good luck!

Best Fat Loss / Exercise book I have ever read! Loved the clear writing, practical exercises and No BS style and have already started implementing the strategies recommended.
This is a book I will be going back to in the future for exercises etc. Fantastic achievement by the authors - 100% recommend it for anyone who wants to lose fat!

This is an entertaining read just hillis is a little over-the-top with the enthusiasm. But the content from Dan John certainly carries the book. It has a lot of good advice a lot of advice is based on the simple execution day in and day out and that's really where significant changes come from.

Meh.
I wish I had looked at at the publication date before I purchased this. Some of the information is outdated.
There’s a few good ideas in here, but to be honest, it was hard to get past one of the authors going on and on about “hotness”.

A lot of good information... For me it seemed to have more repetition in the message then I cared for. If you're new to dieting, or training (or both) you would get a lot of benefit from reading it!

Enjoyed reading, already seeing results from implementing guidance. Will keep on shelf for future reference.

"People are always unsuccessful when they wing it."
So begins a great book on creating little habits and 'wins' that are sustainable. Habits 'are your ticket to freedom" and 'Fat loss is determined by what you eat" and Hillis shows you exactly how to succeed by planning, preparing, and creating those little habits.
Valerie Waters on Fat Loss Happens on Monday: It's caring and it's hopeful.
Dan John on Josh HIllis: gracious...kindness. It's reasonable, yes, but it's also kind. The workouts are doable. The goals are reasonable. The path is clear. And all of this is done with kindness.
Treating ourselves with kindness! Treating ourselves with grace and kindness while being hopeful! What kind of pivot is this in the fat loss/helathy/workout world!
We have almost become inured to being beaten like dogs, told we are doing it all wrong, and in so many ways being shamed while already wallowing in our own shame. This book is not like anything I have ever read or encountered before.
The books of these chapters switch between Dan John and Josh Hillis. They are the perfect balance to one another. Dan John is a bit curmudgeonly in that way your high school track coach was and you loved him diabolically. Josh Hillis is the kinder, gentler version of that coach- the one who kicks your ass in completely different ways.
I hope these two partner again on projects.
Quotes I loved:
...everyone has the same struggles, because food and diet and exercise and bodies and self esteem- it's all messy stuff. (HIllis)
There's nothing- and I can't repeat this enough- nothing concomitantly more public and more private than our relationships with our bodies. (Dan John)
If you don't like the way your body looks, the problem is always food. Sometimes it's the quantity of food. Sometimes it's the quality of food.
But it's always the food. (Hillis)
Stop with the excuses. Act like an adult and stop eating like a television commercial. (Dan John)
