3 Stars jonny bowden’s 8-week plan
this book is rather complicated to follow, and i was not real thrilled with it.

5 Stars Makes great sense - a program that adapts to you!
I’ve recently completed reading Shape Up and was really inspired by the approach taken by the author. He really nails it on the head with his observation that one diet/healthy lifestyle program does not fit all. Our bodies are different, our lifestyles are different and our preferences regarding food, exercise and life goals are different. It therefore makes sense that any health program needs to be developed on an individual basis by the person him- or herself. I know what I ’should’ be eating and what exercises I ’should’ be doing (from the dozens of other books I have read). This book made me feel like I want to do them - it honours choice and is firmly based in reality and a wholistic approach to wellness. I recommitted myself to a healthy body and have lost 4 pounds in the last week. And I’m not feeling under the whip of any diet/exercise regime. An inspiring, informative and sensible book.

4 Stars “Make your word law in the Universe…” -quotation from Book
Mr. Bowden’s “Shape Up!” Plan makes *intuitive* sense. Simply put, the person on the plan creates his or her own strategy to lose weight. His tool is information, and he provides great frameworks for continuing your path to good health, *as well as for creating a sound mind.*

One drawback is that, although I generally enjoy an informal writing style, I find myself annoyed at his. The text also contains way too many typos. (…Maybe it’s just my edition? Is there more than one?).

I give the book 2 crooked thumbs up. Regardless of his or her weight, every person should hear what this man has to say.
