This book jumped out at me so I picked it up and had a peek inside. I was sceptical. I have many books on diet and fitness and I really didnt want to add another to my collection. But something was different. It all looked rather simple and it made sense! I took a chance and bought it. It didnt take me very long to read and I found the instructions for both the exercises and the diet quite easy to follow and it didnt require any fancy equipment or strange foods. Still, I really didnt think spending a mere 8 minutes in the morning would make much of a difference even with a food plan. Remember - Ive tried many diet and fitness programs and failed to shed 5 pounds in one month. I was also impressed with the approach Jorge Cruise takes in the book. He becomes your coach which empowers you. He lets you make your own journey and at the same time connects you to others on the same path. Its a winning combination. I am happy to say that after following the program for only one week I have lost 5 pounds! At first I thought the needle on my scale was off because I didnt feel like I had struggled hard enough to lose that much in such a short time but it is in perfect working condition. Just in case you think its all water loss: I hardly think that you can lose that much water when you have to drink eight glasses of it a day! Im hooked - and Im certain it will be the best purchase I will make all year!
Easy to follow, sensible way to lose weight. Im not totally sold on the 8 minutes of exercise contributing that much to weight loss, but the diet plan is rock solid. Really like the diet cards too. Other self-help books I like include "The Multifidus Back Pain Solution."
I started jorges eating plan and exercises last year in january hoping to lose 10 stubborn post partum pounds. by april I had lost a total of 20 lbs! the plan and exercises are easy. the only thing I added was a supplement called CLA. Of course it was hard at first and it took some discipline but thats the only way one can lose weight. the only undesirable side effect I had from looking good after following jorges plan was another pregnancy, but hey, at least now I know how to get back in shape!
