User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good Ideas–Relatively Easy to Implement
The author manages to simplify exercise and nutrition into a formula that can be incorporated into a busy life. His message to the reader is inspiring, and challenges him/her to improve themselves in basic, yet essential ways. I highly recommend it.
1 Star Save your money
Bill Phillps is a once greatly revered man, who is now looked upon with disdain, by his peers, as a traitor, motivated solely by greed. This book is an ill-conceived piece of worthless trash, written with the sole purpose of deceiving the reader and feathering his bank account.
4 Stars Need to Change your Life, read this book!!!
This book breaks down how to get fit, not just lose weight but really get your mind and body working together. It is simple and once you read it you will wonder why there is so much fuss around losing weight and getting fit. It is written in easy to read language and gives you points of reference all the way through. A great resource in your fitness journey.
5 Stars This has been my life changer!
My daughter’s physician wrote an article on weight loss and recommended this book and program. Having tried every diet known to man, why not try one more!? Well, FOR ME this has truly been life changing. The food plan is easy to follow and you DON’T have to use the supplements. Since I eat six times a day, hunger is never an issue. The exercise is actually fun. I’ve never done actual weight training before and even for a 51 year old grandmother, it works and is enjoyable. As already mentioned, the program is based on 12 week challenges. I was going to wait until the end of my first challenge to write a review, but my results are already so great, I wanted to give my two cents worth NOW. I am in my 8th week of the challenge and I have already lost 23 pounds. My only problem is having to buy more clothes when I know that they, too, will be too large within a few weeks.
I had almost given up on finding something that would “work” for me. Body For Life came to me at the perfect time and I plan on continuing this way of life from now on. And this is the first time I’ve ever felt like I could do that.
The companion book, Eating for Life, has been another huge help with the program. It has great recipes and meal plans to make this much easier to implement into your lifestyle. I HIGHLY recommend both books.
I’ll be forever grateful to my daughter’s physician for recommending this to me. Without hesitation, I recommend it to anyone who wants to find a healthy way to live.
5 Stars Down to earth
I love his book. He is very down to earth and explains things clearly and simply (with a sense of humor). The plan is very simple and easy to follow, that’s why it works. He tells you things like eat 6 meals a day. Each meal should have a protein and a good carb portion. That’s it! We choose how we want to use those portions. With eating 6 times a day, I really am not hungry. Also, since we get a day off a week to eat whatever we want, it helps curve the cravings during the week. The other day at work, someone brought a beautiful birthday cake. It was actually easy for me to say no, because I knew that my day off was coming up in three days. So, I don’t feel like I am saying “no”, it is more like a “not right now”. I’ve been on his plan for a month and I am starting to see changes. I now have definition lines on my arms, which I have NEVER had in my whole entire life! Also, the pride I am getting from sticking to the plan is hard to describe.
Buy this book. It is the first step toward a positive, healthy future.
