Summary: 4 Stars
Although it is good, I really hoped there would be a little more to "inspire". Seeing all of the success is great, but I was hoping for a little more. Afterall, I love the show!Book Review: You Can Lose Big Too!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of the NBC reality show The Biggest Loser, you will love this book. It gives you insight into the weight loss successes of several of the shows contestants and the how-to behind their triumphs.
Even if you aren't a fan of the show, you will find great diet and fitness tips. The chapter on pushing through a plateau was very helpful to me personally, as I've been finding it difficult to lose weight the past few months.
I recommend this for anyone serious about weight loss and fitness.

The book instructs you to keep a daily journal of what you eat as well as what exercise you do. The diet is based on calorie control and has 3 main meals and 2 snacks. A typical day's menu is: one egg with turkey bacon for breakfast; cherries, cottage cheese, and almonds for morning snack; a spinach salad with skinless chicken breast and half an apple for lunch; Greek-style plain, fat free yogurt with blueberries for a snack; and grilled salmon with steamed quinoa and broccoli and a peach for dinner. If you want recipes, you need to get the "Biggest Loser Cookbook". The Biggest Loser plan itself is described in "The Biggest Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health, and Life--Adapted from NBC's Hit Show". This book focuses more on motivation and techniques rather than nuts and bolts diet and exercise.
We all know that the key to weight loss success is motivation and managing the mind. This book does a great job of reminding us of this truth. The book mentions a "moment" and "triggering event" that finally pushes people over the edge and awakens their desire to lose weight even if it means making substantial changes in their life and giving up their comfortable but bad habits. The book affirms that the key to weigh loss is managing our mind and behavior, not just eating and exercise. The testimonials in the book are heartfelt and inspiring. This is a great book for motivation! Debra Lawrence, author of [[ASIN:097974590X THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams]]
