I really did follow the diet and exercises in this book to the letter. (an absolute first for me) the results are amazing! I am wearing 100% cotton jeans I found in the back of my closet from 20 yrs ago! I recommend this book to someone who is extremely motivated. Like most diet/exercise programs, it is a challenge to stick with but the results are very rewarding.

unrealistic to think 8 minutes per day of exercise will change shape of specific body parts (hips and thighs)

I'm using it right now for part of my workout regimen everyday and it's really cool. I like his additional notes and inspirational thoughts.
