I really enjoyed this book, and now I can say I've read a circus novel. ]]>

I would go as far as to say that this book is life changing for me. I bought it a couple years ago but never read it because I was doing well with weight loss on my own. After falling off the wagon for a while then deciding to get back on again, I picked it up and started reading. I'm glad I did! I can't attest for the end results that this book promises, because I'm only 1 week into it, but I have lost 7 pounds in just the 10 days that I've been following Zinczenko's plan. This book is full of information on how your body and metabolism work, and how you can change it to burn more calories even when you are resting. Zinczenko quotes a bunch of studies to back up what he is teaching, plus he has filled the book with success stories that are very helpful in motivating you and convincing you that it can be done.
I would say the work outs are moderate, but can be made harder depending on how much you want to put into it. I realized that I was working way too hard, which was in turn hurting my motiviation. By keeping the workouts short and simple, Zinczenko has helped to keep me motivated.
His food plan is not difficult at all. You eat all the time, and his suggestions include really good food to keep you satisfied and your sweet tooth at bay. Everything on his menu is so balanced that I don't find myself craving anything really, except my next abs diet meal.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to shed some pounds and hasn't because they either think it's too hard for them, or they are stuck at their current weight even after trying to exercise on their own. Definitely glad I finally read this book! ]]>

by James Patterson
I pretty much dig everything Patterson puts out. They are easy to read, and you fly through them. I make sure not to read too many in a row though, as they are all very similar. But that happens with most authors, so I just make sure I switch it up a lot. ]]>
