This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it would be for me. I've tried eating small meals every three hours, but didn't have as much success as this book leads a person to believe they should.

Logical and motivational with a lot of success stories. Provides frozen food and restaurant choices, but more recipes would have been nice. Also contains a 28-day journal for accountability.

Read this one awhile ago never marked it but I do really like Jorge Cruise I stuck to his plan once and it was very beneficial he keeps it real and do-able. You just need to stick with it it's like anything else I know to be true I'm guilty of faltering but to continue to be healthy you have to stick with a healthy lifestyle. I might not be much of a credited critic for health books but I would recommend this for those who can't do those extreme diets. I believe, for most people, that even those who can do those extreme diets that restrict you from certain things typically end up back where they started eventually.

Interesting, but I will think about the principle behind it and work with it.

Didn't rate it. Great ideas and quite educational about becoming healthy. I'd like to implement the habits in to my eating regimes. He did do a lot of self promoting though-got a little tiring.

A quick read. Principles in this book are aligned with the Medifast and Optivia 5 & 1 plans. The practice is to fuel your metabolism and keep insulin levels stable by eating small meals every 3 hours. It's sustainable weight loss with a lot less hunger.

I tried reading this book in preparation for the Biggest Loser contest at work, but unfortunately the diet requirements are not practical for me because of my work schedule. The premise of eating a balanced meal or snack every three hours over the course of a day is a good one because you never get really hungry and your body doesn't go into "starvation mode" so your body never cannabalizes muscle tissue for calories, BUT there is a lot of prep work. The prep work involves knowing exactly what you'll be eating at every meal and snack time every day of the week. The book is also geared to people who weigh over 150 pounds and are over 5'3"; there are brief paragraphs on how to adapt the diet to someone smaller, but that's it. I copied out the 100 calories snack suggestions and the size proportions charts(i.e. your fist is so many ounces).

This book emphasizes eating every 3 hours. This is because after 3 hours your body goes into starvation mode and takes lean muscle tissue for energy instead of fat. It also has a plan to eat 400 calories for 3 meals, and 100 for 2 snacks, and 50 for a treat at the end of the day. No food is off limits! He suggested to eat the "3 hour plate" which consists of half the plate of vegetables (fruit for breakfast) the equivalent of 3 DVD cases. One fourth the plate of carbohydrates the equivalent of a Rubik's cube, and the other fourth of the plate with protein the equivalent of a deck of cards. By using this system he says you'll lose 2 pounds every week. Very informative and convincing.
