Summary: Well, of course!!!
Review: I admire "High Voltage" for sticking on a natural food plan. I was disappointed at how far-out-there this lady is-her average client has their own yacht and their own cook? She even has her own cook, for crying out loud! She does try to tone some of this book toward us, the lowly, the blue-collared, the fast-food-enslaved/no-time-to-exercise average Joe Schmoe. This book is a great read if you want to hear another How I Turned My Life Around story and the exercises are a pretty good basic foundation, but other than that, it's not worth getting excited about. She's telling us to do what we always have known we SHOULD do: give up refined stuff (flour, sugar, salt). Well, DUH! Once again we are shown there is no magic pill, and, in this case, no magic book which will show us to the Light of the Toned Bod!!!

Summary: get going on making a health and fitness change
Review: I liked the book because it was really upbeat, and gave quite good advice and info on excersizing and eating healthy. The meals probably take a lot of planning, but I think that's a good thing. Also stresses excersize everyday, which is good to get in.

Summary: A completely unrealistic set-up for failure
Review: The book is fast moving, not heavy, antedotal, -- easy to read. It contains what appears to be some hard won nuggets of wisdom about caring for your health and looking the way you want to look. It might be subtitled "Don't Whine" as the author doesn't appear to buy into complaints. For those of us who keeps saying "Why Me? Why can't I look better, loose weight, have fun, have energy?" this is the book. I recommend it for the fatties and near fatties of the world. Its about taking control of changing yourself, the way you want to change yourself!

Summary: A completely unrealistic set-up for failure
Review: This book was motivating, I suppose. However, I could have done without the extensive description of the author's own neuroses and her excessive, unnecessary use of profanity. (These were not really related to the weight loss). Also, this program is only for those of you who can stick to a no nonsense no frills program where you will never be able to eat anything with even a trace of taste in it again. It sets you up for failure with completely unrealistic expectations for what you can do. Unless you can eliminate sugar, salt, flour, etc from your diet permenantly and are completely obsessive about everything you put in your mouth permenantly, you will gain back all the weight and then some if you are crazy enough to try it (I didn't). Take my dare if you wish, and if you succeed, you are one amazing person!
