Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength

Average rating: Stars

Take 1 Body-for-LIFE book, mix in an obese couch potato, let settle over several weeks and ...

... voila. 65 pounds gone. Thats a quarter million calories. Fat cells screaming for revenge, who will never receive it.

This is a book that has truly changed the face of health and wellness. I believe this from the bottom of my heart.

When my wife bought this book for me in August of 1999, I refused to crack open the cover. I was frustrated from trying so many diets that failed, and not getting anywhere. I finally gave in, read the first page, and never looked back.

There are plenty of guides that promise to deliver the latest magic bullet. They will tell you what to eat and how to train and then leave you wondering, "Why can't I stick with this?"

What makes Body-for-LIFE unique is that the book begins with something many others do not: inspiration. It only takes a few success stories to feel the excitement start to stir the butterflies in your stomach. These are REAL people who made a tremendous change and you get to glimpse inside their lives.

The book quickly moves to another aspect most people forget to consider, but is the most important muscle to train: your mind. I don't remember following any diet or reading any other book at the time that forced me to sit down and really consider my goals, my reasons, and what I was willing to sacrifice for the greater good. It was the ability to tap into a "why" or passionate reason to change that enabled me to overcome obstacles and gain enough momentum to finally transform.

Bill did a great job of simplifying the nutrition, training, and cardio. Make no mistake ... this book is meant to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, silly). It succeeds. While there are other training methods, more ways to perform cardio, and certainly different options for successful, healthy nutrition than what is offered in this book, it is an incredible resource for beginners who want to just get it going.

You won't be overburdened with scientific explanations of kinesiology and physiology, instead, you'll get some straightforward illustrations of exercises and how to do them. Without going into digestion or how the body metabolizes carbohydrates, he provides a meal plan that is effective and simple enough to follow without being over-restrictive.

The cardio takes out any guesswork by telling you EXACTLY what to do for 20 minutes, three times a week, but endurance athletes may find these guidelines too rigid and I encourage you to explore other methods that may fit better into your schedule and, more importantly, your enjoyment.

Over all, I believe this is the masterpiece that shook the fitness industry awake and took the ordinary person and proved to them that they could choose to be extraordinary. It changed my life, and if you are open to the message, it may change yours as well.

Bill Phillips - Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength

It actually works!

I bought this book based on a friend's suggestion, though I was skeptical given the poor results I've had from other "diets." But this program has proved to be the only program that has actually worked for me. It has prompted me to adopt healthy and sustainable eating habits in my life, and it has given me a better body and a fountain of strength and vitality. I first tried the Body for Life program two years ago, and since then I haven't had any illness, not even a sniffle. Now I buy copies to give to my friends and family. I highly recommend this book.
