The Fat-Burning Bible: 28 Days of Foods, Supplements, and Workouts that Help You Lose Weight
One of the most comprehensive nutritional and exercise programs I've ever encountered. This groundbreaking work is sure to be a powerful tool in the hands of anyone wanting to lose excess body fat. Ideally, being healthy isn't just about being a certain weight: It's about having all the systems of your body performing at optimum levels for as long a time as possible. Mackie Shilstone, in his role as medical advisor to professional athletes, presents a complex plan in The Fat-Burning Bible that incorporates supplements, sleep and stress management alongside the standards of diet and exercise. --From the Foreword by Kathy Smith Mackie Shilstone is famous for helping world-class athletes and business titans look great and achieve peak performance. Now, he presents an all-new approach to burning fat for both women and men. Drawing on Mackie's unique nutrition and exercise programs, The Fat-Burning Bible gives you the secrets and tools to increase your metabolism, target the parts of your body that carry excess fat, and see results in just four weeks. Inside you'll find: * 6 levels of targeted meal plans and 74 recipes featuring low-fat, low-glycemic, high-flavor foods * Mackie's all-new gender-specific cardio, circuit, and core-training routines * 64 step-by-step photographs illustrating the customized exercises * Must-know information on 6 highly effective fat-burning supplements * Real-life success stories of Mackie's clients This is the only weight-loss bible you will ever need to burn fat, slim down, and look great! The first section of the book helps you establish your honest starting point--it's easy to be at an acceptable weight but have unacceptably high fat percentages, cholesterol or blood sugar. Establishing this point involves a fair amount of measuring and math, and includes checklists that will help you identity potential concerns like Syndrome X or thyroid problems. Diet and nutrition follow; the section encompasses fairly complex suggestions on intake percentages as well as simple meal plans and recipes. Portion control figures highly--it's back to the old 'four ounces of skinless chicken breast' as a basic building block. A short section on supplements refers in a general way to recent research, but is more of an introduction than complete system. More time is devoted to the exercise program, but this could be more complex than a typical dieter feels ready for. Clear photos show off specific exercises, but they require regular trips to the gym or a set of dumbbells at home. The last section, which Shilstone suggests photocopying, is a day-to-day journal that allows you to check off goals and note areas for further work. It's a helpful tool, but also requires a fair amount of dedication. Ultimately, this book seems designed for those who are already fairly fit, but are hoping to achieve a more ideal version of good health. It could be especially helpful for amateur athletes--if you're prepping for a marathon or other big event, this might be just the tool you need. Jill Lightner |
