Great physical change begins with a psychological one: change your mind, change your body.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Powell s celebrity status from ABC s Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition will likely spur readers seeking their own little miracle as he promises results that are easy, fast, and fun ; certainly the story of a 630 lb. 26-year-old who lost 401 lbs. in 22 months should convince some doubters. Moreover, his perspective of body fat as unused energy and the self as an athlete-in-training are as helpful as his visual aids. Included are master grocery lists and directions on how to prep food for three to four days in just 45 minutes. However, Powell s regimen gets complicated once the alternating exercises are added to the diet mix and for those who make it this far, Powell then demonstrates both proper and improper workout methods. The bottom line is that Powell s regimen sounds great as long as he s around to administer it and dish out daily encouragement. Unless he comes with the book, though, it could be difficult to achieve the desired results.

Book
I love this book
Lots of fluff
Carb cycling works, I guess maybe I was looking for a more straightforward carb cycling cook book. The 1st 250-300 pages I found boring and tough to read. It felt like the same 4 points were re-written over and over for close to 300 pages. We all know it's gonna take some effort. When you finally get to the recipes and foods you should be eating and when, if your new to dieting it will be tough to follow as nothing is categorized as "carbs" and "proteins". Fell short for me as a book. But the program will work.
Great book
Very good read...easy to understand...loved it
