"A decent enough book, but some of his ideas have been debunked by now (for instance, that weight training will add enough muscle mass to the average person to burn a lot more calories when at rest). The motivational parts were good, and his exchange system sound, but my complaints are: 1. A little too much plugging Dr. Weil, 2. Too much fascination with soy, suggesting that EVERYONE should ditch dairy for soy because it's so much healthier, 3. Treating flax oil as practically a miracle substance.
One idea of his that I did like - putting a container of olive oil in the refrigerator to harden, and then using it as a spread instead of butter. I haven't tried it yet, but I just might."
"I've owned this book for years. And bought it for several other people. I love Jorge. Now, if I would just follow his advice.
He talks both about diet and exercise. His diet info is mostly stuff I agree with. His exercise program really is 8 minutes, but by the end I've broken a sweat. It's mostly sets of exercises like crunches or lifting small weights. If you're already in shape and skinny, the exercises may not be enough to make you feel exercised. For this mom of 4 who doesn't get to the gym much (read at all) it makes me feel like I've worked.
He also talks about emotional eating and has journaling type exercises to help you work through the issues holding you back. I usually skip this part because I'm not really good with touchy-feely introspection.
If I follow his exercise plan and eat sensibly I really do lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. I just wish I could be more consistent. Eight minutes isn't much, but I sure can find excuses. Bad, Heather, bad.
"I have just finished the workouts for the first complete read through of this book. I am not overweight at all, but know I could afford to lose a couple of pounds and so this book caught my eye. It's very easy to slot out 8 minutes (many times less than that) in the morning to do these exercises and it helps wake you up, which is an added bonus. I workout a lot, but mostly doing aerobic excercises, so these moves that are based more on strength training were really good for me. My arms were often sore a day or more after doing some of the arm exercises and I have now lost two pounds. That might not sound like much, but I haven't changed my diet at all (although I should as the book recommends) and my goal was to lose five. So I am going back through the book again and seeing if I can continue to build up my muscle and lose those extra few pounds."
