Book Reviews of Winning by Losing: Drop the Weight, Change Your Life
Book Review: Great information
Summary: 4 Stars
This book had a lot of helpful information and great pictures to describe the exercises.Book Review: AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, first let me say that I am a total skeptic of everything. When I saw "The Biggest Loser", I thought something was wrong. How could anyone lose that kind of weight and still be healthy in such a short amount of time?
I have been in a weight fight for a couple of years now since a very hard time in my life. I tried EVERYTHING and was pretty much unsuccessful. So, in reading the reviews of Jillian's book, I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. Not only could I not put the book down when I started reading (and books like this are usually torture for me to read) but I now have a complete understanding of how food and calories and such work. In my first week on Jillian's plan, I lost 8.5 pounds without even working out, just from changing my diet! One of my best friends was so impressed with my results and everything I was telling her, she asked me to buy her a copy!
Best book out there, and its for people who want to change their lives, not just try another fad diet. And this is not for the faint of heart either. You need to want to change, to want to be healthy. This is the book to do that and more.
Good luck to anyone out there trying to shed pounds and feel and look better!
Book Review: The Biggest Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the book and DVD from "The Biggest Loser" and this book because Jillian was one of the trainers. This one had by far the most indepth and sensible ideas. Real down to earth good practices to follow. Definitly the Biggest Winner.Book Review: Winning by Losing : Drop the Weight, Change Your Life

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm someone that already works out 5 to 6 days a week and have read A LOT on the subject of fitness and nutrition. I was honestly skeptical and a little cynical about this book just because Jillian is a "TV Trainer" (snark, snark!), but I was feeling really unmotivated after the holidays and I was trawling Amazon for some new books to get me re-motivated, and hopefully to teach me something new. I read all the great reviews on here, which sparked my interest in the work out she outlined... So I bought it! Okay, let me just say, I LOVE THIS BOOK! If you are starting out, this book is really all you need. Jillian doesn't subscribe to any fitness myths and fads, everything she preaches is time tested and will get you results if you follow it. There are no gimmicks, so you have to follow a healthy diet and do the (hard!) work. I read some earlier criticism that she skimmed over the "Self" portion of the book, which goes over getting past your food and self-esteem issues, but really, this is not her job. Even if you wrote a 1000 page book on the subject, it's not going to be enough to help most people get past their emotional problems. Otherwise everyone would pick up a Dr Phil book on self-esteem and be "cured", right? It's just like with the rest of the book, you read the information given to you and do your own work, no trainer or author can fix your life for you, they can only point you in the right direction and give you some of those tools to help you get there. Anyhow, back to fitness, I really feel that this book reinforced everything I already knew, taught me a few things I didn't (I'm a balanced oxidizer! No more high fat CKD's for me!) and really MOTIVATED me. I'm also really enjoying her workout. It's really challenging and exactly what I needed. I was so bored with my old weight routine, I just didn't know how to go about changing it. 5 Stars from me, all the way!
