Book Reviews of Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You
Book Review: Good for short-term weight loss; not intended for long-term maintenance
Summary: 3 Stars
I recently bought this book from Barnes and Noble but am planning to return it. It's not a bad book at all -- in fact, it helped me to understand how I eat and metabolize my food -- but the book is designed for SHORT-TERM weight loss, not long-term maintenance (which is what I'm looking for). If you've got a 10-year high school reunion, wedding, or important event coming up and you want to drop 20 lbs. within 30 days, this is the book for you. (I'd also recommend Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred in conjunction with this for maximum and effective weight loss.)
I should also note here -- and she says this in her book, if you are looking to lose more than 20 lbs, you need to look elsewhere on advice on how to do that (she recommends her other book mentioned below). Making the Cut is only a temporary weight loss solution.
However, for those of you looking to lose weight and keep it off, this is NOT the book you are looking for. Instead I'd recommend Michaels' other book, Winning by Losing: Drop the Weight, Change Your Life or assistance from any of the other Biggest Loser books:
*The Biggest Loser Fitness Program: Fast, Safe, and Effective Workouts to Target and Tone Your Trouble Spots--Adapted from NBC's Hit Show!,
*The Biggest Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health, and Life--Adapted from Hit Show!,
*The Biggest Loser Cookbook: More Than 125 Healthy, Delicious Recipes Adapted from NBC's Hit Show.
As I said, it's a great book that provides some great tips. I'd recommend it to people who want to quickly -- and temporarily -- get in shape and look good, but it's not a book designed for consistent, long-term use.
