Amazing amazing amazing book, just what you should expect out of any jillian book, full with informations, good informations that you can trust and not just myths or stuff, divided in many chapters with three main units , psychology , nutrition and exercising , I can't say it enough but A M A Z I N G. I'm setting my new diet and workout routine according to what i learned so far , it made me understand why anyone reaches plateau and how to set an effective routine with so much advices with a sweet way of telling all that anyone needs , she made me feel i'm chatting with her and she wrote this book specifically for me, thats how she writes her books, i'm so glad i decided to read this book and i will definitely read any other book by her.

Good tips, but I wasn't looking for a specific workout routine or diet, so that part I skipped through.

I love Jillian. The workouts at the back of the book are killer. I can't wait until I am not pregnant and can do crazy stuff like this at the gym again. Maybe it will take better the second time around. :)

Not a bad book. Mostly already information that I knew/had read previously, but presented in a positive way that makes you want to succeed. A small handful of recipes, lots of exercises that require little or no equipment, and a lot on behavioral changes. Overall, worth the $0.99 I paid for it.

Jillian's such a bad@ss. Her arguments and urgings her are rational, accessible, and honest. Her writing's are easy, but not at all dry, for the everyday person and come across as intelligent and educated. Her plan's straightforward. I'm reading "Master Your Metabolism," and I'm liking it even better.

Good For Beginners

It was a good book but it was nothing I hadn't read before. I liked how she explained things in detail but those same things could easily overwhelm a person and cause them not to finish the book. I do really think a beginner could benefit from the information in the book but she doesn't offer any quick fix either. She is aiming for a decent loss, nothing crazy like on the tv shows so if that was what you were hoping for, this isn't the book.

If you need to lose weight, this book is a very helpful one. Jillian gives you tips on weight loss and what to eat and how to exercise for maximum fat burning!

I found her writing about motivation, will power, self talk and emotional eating very straightforward and pertinent.

The strength training section was a bit complicated for me and mostly beyond my comfort level, but I still found parts of it useful to better understand high and low intensity training and calorie burning.

She writes very clearly and directly and is not preachy.

A quick and simple read.
