4 Stars Reality Check!
Seems there are a lot of bitter fat people. I can identify. I use to be one of them. The problem is you want your cake and to eat it too…How is that working for you? If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting. You have to dramatically change your eating and learn to exercise 1 hour per day 4-6 days per week. You can not do what skinny people do to maintain their weight. Genetics is a B-tch! Deal with it and know that if you want to lose and keep it off you will have to stoping eating the foods you are eating and EXERCISE…Even with weight loss surgery you can and will regain if you revert to eating crappy foods and sitting on your Butt!

4 Stars The nice guy approach to weight loss
This is NOT a serious physical conditioning book. One should not expect to gain serious strength, speed and stamina from this routine. However, anyone with an aversion to exercise should read this book. It is too damn simple to brush off. While the serious athlete might ignore it, there is still a ton of good simple advice throughout the whole manual. Jorge comes across like a nice-guy trainer, who makes exercising so simple to follow. I would highly recommend it to all beginners.

4 Stars GOOD BOOK
Interesting book, didnt read it, thought it might be shorter..not like a novel..too long to read..but there no problem with the seller or the shipment..everything is good overall.

2 Stars Repetitive and Somewhat Annoying
This book was originally published in 2003 (hardcover) under the title 8 Minutes in the Morning: For Real Shapes, Real Sizes. The average size of the American woman is a size 12 not a size 2. Jorge Cruise is a fitness coach and hailed as America’s #1 weight-loss specialist. He says, -Cardiovascular exercise (aerobics) and dieting are out. And strength training is in.-

The focus of this book is to aid the reader in losing 2lbs a week without the use of dumbbells or equipment but by using your own body weight (wall, chair, table, or book) as resistance. By using Jorge’s 28 day plan he claims it will help readers to learn to accept themselves and their body no matter what their size; replace emotional eating with a smarter method that allows them to experience the ultimate sense of support and comfort without food; consistently lose up to 2lbs a week; and transform their life and feel fulfilled, whole and happy. This is a tall order for 253 glossy pages.

To do this and before you start the physical 28 day plan you must complete all exercises in sections one and two. These aren’t physical exercises but a series of quizzes, affirmations and journaling. The journaling, introspection and affirmations continue once you start the 28 day plan as well.

Each day before the exercises there is a visualization to work through. This is followed by two strength training exercises in the a.m. It’s actually about twelve minutes and not eight as you have to do a two minute warm up before and two minute cool down after. This routine is done Monday - Saturday with Sunday off. The exercises work twelve core body parts: Chest & Back, Shoulders & Abdominals, Triceps & Biceps, Hamstrings & Quadriceps, Calves & Butt, and Inner & Outer Thighs. They are easy enough to do and if you haven’t worked your muscles in a while you’ll definitely feel it.

There is a small nutrition section which goes over some basic aspects of nutrition. The best and simplest idea is his -Cruise Down Plate- is just a way of dividing up your 9″ plate as a visual cue to portion size.

There are also quite a few before and after shot with kudos on Jorge’s plan. The silky pages are nice to touch but hard to read because of the glare. There are tiny spots to journal but you’d need a separate journal to write anything of value.

One of the biggest things that bugged me about this book was that it implies if you fail you don’t accept or respect your body or yourself. A lot of nonsense filler like -In chapter one you will read about…- and -in Chapter 8 you will read about…- is annoying.

Will you lose weight if you stay on this plan? Maybe. You have to develop and follow a daily routine. Will you keep it off? You know the answer to that one. It is affordable but I recommend you check it out of the library and use the money to invest in a yoga or other activity video. Reviewed by M. E. Wood.

5 Stars This book worked for me
This book worked for me. I am 42, in a sedentary job, not really overweight but was beginning to feel flabby and was tired all the time. I did the exercises and kept to the diet 80% of the time and four weeks later feel great. A month ago I was asking my daughter to fetch things from upstairs for me because I was too tired at the end of the day. Now I have the energy to run up those stairs and race her to the mail box and back. I didn’t lose much weight — could have stuck to the diet part better, but I lost an inch off my bust and hips and 2.5 inches from my waist and my clothes are loose. This program got my energy back and it’s maintainable for my life style. I’ve just started my second 28-day cycle with Jorge’s original book and I am looking forward to it.— Also I like the photos. I think he is trying to be encouraging. Like I said, it worked for me.
