very interesting...

I loved this book. I don't understand why it has a low-ish rating on Goodreads. I got in the best shape of my life with this book. It's a mix of cardio and weights, nothing new or spectacular but it's super easy to follow and whip in shape for a vacation.

While Bob does some great things with why we over eat and getting you in an exercise routine - you either have to have access to dumbells, benches and free weights at home or join a gym. Not very practical for everyone and he relies completely on the exercise with VERY minimal change to your eating habits. It needs to be a more well rounded program in my opinion.

جيد ومشجع يلعب على العامل النفسي غالباً خاصةً بما يحتويه من قصص وحكايا عن أشخاص بدينين أنقصوا أوزانهم، التمارين الرياضية والجداول المقررة جيدة لكنها تفتقر إلى التنويع.
قواعد الأكل الخمسة غير كافية برأيي لإنقاص الوزن
والكتاب مختصر نوعا ما ويفتقر للدقة.

Bob Greene is incredibly motivating and good writer. I like to read this book whenever I just need some more motivation to exercise or eat better. It's a fun read.

I liked certain chapters more than others. I liked what he had to say about weight training and exercise in general, which was the main reason I read it.

[Swiftyjess · Rating 3 out of 5]

Three stars for the chapter where he compares all of the fad diets out there. The rest of the book is par for the course with dieting books.

[LoveVickyHolt LoveVickyHolt · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's changing my life.

[Teena in Toronto · Rating 3 out of 5]

Basic info on eating right but has what looks like a great weight training program.

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Realistic 12 week program. If you know a little bit about general cardio, weights and stretching exercises then this book is easy to follow.

[Gretchen Kulpa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good reading. It is on the psycology of loosing weight. I need to read it again.
