Book Reviews of Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You
Book Review: "Making the Cut" have "One Serving" Consistency
Summary: 3 Stars
Grade-wise, I would give "Making the Cut" a B+. It definitely qualified as an "easy read", was well organized and maintained my interest. I found Jillian's personal insights both uplifting and supportive: Don't beat yourself up- keep positive thinking & good choices ongoing- plus a sprinkling of little tips for staying on track. Her dietary approach utilizes a metabolic typing test that determines if you are a Slow, Balanced or Fast oxidizer. My personal Dilemma #1- I scored equally- as both a balanced & fast oxidizer. So I thought- let me examine the menus and have my taste buds be my guide. Quite frankly- both diets looked just as great(I'm very food friendly). My next strategy: O.K. I'll go with the menu that contains the easiest recipes. It was then I discovered my main (& minor) beef with the book. The serving size for each recipe varied between 1 and 6 servings. Example, There was no way I would ever want to make 6 servings of "Scrambled eggs with Smoked Salmon, Spinach and Chives"- this and many of the other selections were just not good "Left-over" prospects- I could just envision the (refrigerated) overnight texture changes: wilting, leaking fluids, and soppiness- not pretty. Why not simplify life-and just provide all recipes in a "1 serving size" portion? I don't mind doubling it on my own... however, dividing everything by 6, is annoying. The remainder of the book is very well done- geared towards maximizing your work out benefits. Body types and strategies are touched upon - an intriguing array of routines are explored- and an easy reference exercise guide (with photographs)is included. If you have injuries- proceed with caution. The concluding chapter of the book touches upon the do's and don'ts of supplementation. All in all- a good book-just keep your calculator handy for those "super sized" recipes.
