If you are a yo-yo dieter like me, this book might seem slightly familiar in its motivational mantra. Robert Reames, a personal trainer that has appeared on Dr. Phil, fills you in on his secrets to weight loss.

Reames has tried to make the book more personal and has tried to show how his technique has helped so many by sharing stories, often highlighted by large print and surrounded by a box. I found these motivational stories to be a bit annoying, but hey, they may work for you.

Overall, Reames's plan seems doable. I am going to try one of the workouts illustrated in the book. Even some of the daily meal plans seem easy to follow, not like some of those fad diets that have weird menus.

I really liked this book because it gives you specific exercises to do whether at the gym or at home. And it explains your metabolism and how to burn more calories throughout the day. This book has really kept me motivated and I needed that!

Lame. I think it's more of an exercise book and only focuses on stress as the main factor of a slow metabolism. I would definitely recommend The UltraSimple Diet: Kick-Start Your Metabolism and Safely Lose Up to 10 Pounds in 7 Days instead.
