Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You by Jillian Michaels Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: This is an intense workout and calorie-sparse diet program for those serious about having a fit body. The 30-day program is for people who want to lose weight and become stronger and more fit.
The exercise program requires some knowledge of weight training and involves a balance of cardio and strength training. You begin the exercise part of the program with an assessment of your current condition by doing a 3-minute step exercise and heart rate measurement, as well as testing how many sit-ups and push-ups you can do in a minute. The exercise includes the use of some gym equipment as well as free weights, body ball, and a step. The exercises also involve doing variations of squats, lunges, jumping rope, push-ups, and sit-ups. There are over a hundred different exercises, and they progress in difficulty over time, though even the early ones will make you sore. It is not just a strength training workout as there is a fair amount of cardio.
The author has a theory about how people "oxidize" food and provides a test to see whether you are a fast, slow, or balanced oxidizer. Her theory suggests that fast oxidizers need more protein and slow oxidizers need more carbohydrates. The book has three different menus with recipes (which make 10-12 servings) for each type of oxidizer. The three diets are calorie-controlled meal plans you must prepare at home and there is no fast food or junk food allowed. The food is designed for maximizing nutrition and minimizing calories. The book also provides grocery lists to make shopping easy. Note that the diets are not vegetarian.
The book emphasizes that there are no quick fixes to weight loss - just a lot of hard work involving calorie-restricted eating and effective exercise - but the payoff is the body you want. If you are ready for the time commitment of this strict, highly-scheduled 30-day diet and exercise program, it will deliver results. An additional approach, THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams. I recommend both books.
7-Day Detox Miracle, Revised 2nd Edition: Revitalize Your Mind and Body with ... by Peter Bennett, Sara Faye, Stephen Barrie Amazon Price: $12.21
Customer Review: The book was interesting, made a lot of sense. The person doing the program with me had great results and I just felt awful the whole time. So it's good, just not for everyone......
3-Minute Abs: Achieving the Look You've Always Wanted in Only 3 Minutes a Day by Kurt Brungardt Amazon Price: $10.36
Customer Review: A fine book for people who want to get a quick start at an ab workout. The title is a bit embarassing if you're the kind of person whos abs betray an ADD approach to exercise, but the book is small and unobtrusive enough to be easily hidden from nagging girlfriends.
The 3-Day Solution Plan: Jump-start Lasting Weight Loss by Turning Off the Dr... by Laurel Mellin Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: My wife and I got on this diet more than a year ago. We both so instant results and we felt good doing it. You have a lot to do to first week(s), but you see and feel the results, so it keeps you going. I was only a few pounds overweight, but I wanted to find a diet that could get me down to a healthier weight and look a little better in my clothes. Don't be fooled by the title of this book, the best part of this diet is that it gives you tips to run your life from here on in, and I'm still following many of the basic principles. Well done.
Fast Cooking in a Slow Cooker Every Day of the Year: A Slow Cooker Vegetarian... by Joann Rachor Amazon Price: $14.95
Customer Review: The recipes in this book were really horrible. It's very old-fashioned, has no nice pictures in it (which I think is always important)and I honestly couldn't find a single dish I would like to cook.
The Atkins Journal: Your Personal Journey Toward a New You, A 120-Day Record by Robert C. Atkins Amazon Price: $11.01
Customer Review: This handy-dandy little book is an important accoutrement for the Atkins aficionado, forcing you to write down everything eaten. So, one finds oneself asking: do I really want that donut bad enough to have to dig out the book and write it down? By that time, the craving will have passed ;-) In addition to the daily tally, there is a Weekly Reckoning wherein one must weigh and measure oneself. Not as momentous as those contestants on the new Reality TV "the Big Loser," but still and all, an incentive to program compliance (Wednesday is coming! No french fry for me!)
Several years ago, I "did Atkins" down 90 lbs. It works! Unfortunately, I back-slid my way back up and am starting over. (Down 40 lbs in 3 1/2 months)
A note to novices: You Need to Read, understand, and follow the directions in the Big Book (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution) first.

The 3-Apple-a-Day Plan: Your Foundation for Permanent Fat Loss by Tammi Flynn Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: IT was hard to believe but if you stay with it and exercise, eating the right calories
for each meal and having enough protein. It works!!
Forget the Facelift: Dr. Day Turns Back the Clock with a Revolutionary Progra... by Doris J. Day Amazon Price: Customer Review: Although Dr. Day is a dermatologist, I must say the information in her book was mundane and certainly not very new information. What was informative was her section on rejuvenation techniques that are presently available. Her focus on attitude, diet, makeup,and style brought nothing new to the table. Her section on hair loss was inadequate. This information should have been a 25 page pamphlet but certainly not a book. I will commend her for not hawking her skin care line too heavily like others have done (does Perricone ring a bell?). Just not very revolutionary.
The L.A. Shape Diet: The 14-Day Total Weight Loss Plan by David Heber Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: Brilliant book for all of you who are concerned about your health and how to stay healthy in such a common sense and easy way. It's all about protein and I give Dr. David Heber my full house of stars!
3 Days to Vitality: Cleanse Your Body, Clear Your Mind, Claim Your Spirit by Pamela Serure Amazon Price: $11.70
Customer Review: If you are a beginner like myself, this book may not give you everything you're looking for... There is a lot of information about fasting and fairly detailed guidelines on how to do a fast, but there is also a large amount of info about spiritual healing and other subjects that kind of turned me off. The information was a bit confusing for me to sort through (not well organized). I was looking for more of a text book and this is more like a chicken-soup-for-the-faster kind of book. I found a little bit more science in Paavo Airola's books as well as some helpful info in a pamphlet on cleansing that I got from one of the Wild Oats chain supermarkets. For some general information and one of many daily guides to a short fast this is an ok book, but if you're looking for more hard facts or need more instruction, I would check this out at the library, and use it as a supplement to other more focused books.
