The Biggest Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health, and Life--Adapted from Nbc's Hit Show!

My husband and I are hooked on the show and decided to have a little competition of our own. The book is easy to follow and has great recipies. Easy to follow diet that never leaves you hungry. We have continued weight loss each week and are feeling and looking better than we have in years!

I bought this book as someone who is in pretty good shape but slacking off lately and getting bored with the same ho-hum workout routine. In fact I'd been slacking off big time and was looking for something to make it fun again, or at the very least interesting enough to motivate me again. My girlfriend and I are big fans of the show and are very impressed by the trainers so I bought the book to see what it had to offer. I started doing the circuit training routine as explained in the book, and love it! It's extremely quick - about 15 minutes, 3 days a week - and is also very challenging. After doing it for the first time I immediately could see why my usual combination of cardio and moderate weight training were not getting much results anymore. I'd never felt so worked out and also exhiliarated after exercising! In addition to the 12-week circuit training routine the book explains it's 12-week cardio routine which starts you out at 4 days a week on top of the 3 days of circuit. The chapter on food and diet is outstanding and I've learned a lot about what to eat and how much, and what not to eat. We've changed our grocery shopping to reflect this and can feel the difference already. The bottom line: This workout rocks! I have a hard time only doing it 3 days a week because completing it feels so great!

I loved the show and I enjoyed reading through the book soon after season two had ended. If you're looking for a detailed, in-depth diet plan this isn't the book for you. If you are looking for an inspirational book about real people who worked hard at losing and maintaining weight and following a healthy lifestyle, then this book is for you. With the best seller list constantly filled with the latest quick-fix diet gimmicks, this book was refreshing. I will keep it on my bookshelf always as a reminder of what hard work and discipline can do for those interested in being healthy.

I liked this book because I enjoy watching the show. I admire and respect all those contestants/dieters who go through all that "struggle and hard work" to lose weight and feel better about themselves. Personally, I feel that reading the book is not motivation enough for people who are tremendously overweight. They need the one-on-one like the wonderful people on the TV show receive. So if you're thinking of buying this book to lose weight, save your money. However, if you just want to hear more about the show and the participants, you may want to have this book. I liked it ... but didn't loooooooove it.
