How the Diet Works

Chris weeds through all the junk to deliver to you only the most powerful diet and fat loss information.  Arm yourself with this knowledge in the never ending battle of the bulge.  Chris uses simple exercise science equations to come up with the right numbers for you.  Once you have the correct numbers down, it’s just a question of creating a calorie deficit to force your body to use up its stores of fat.  There is a diet template you can follow to teach yourself a good frequency of eating and reasonable amounts, both at each meal and snack and throughout the day in total.  This is meant to teach you a long term and sustainable approach versus a short term diet.  The principles contained in it, if followed on a regular basis, will lead you to having the body composition you would like.  There are no foods that are inherently good or bad or will make you fat or skinny.  Rather, it is crucial to know your body and the numbers it requires to gain, maintain, and most importantly lose the fat it has stored.  Chris gives you a few simple formulas to monitor your body composition just like a pro would. 

Exercise

Probably one of the only cons to this book, the subject of exercise being a rather complicated subject, was left to another book.  However, proper resistance training is strongly recommended as an adjunct to your proper dietary meal plan.  Likewise, there isn’t a psychological emphasis in the book.  It only focuses on the physiological issues at hand.  Chris is a huge exercise advocate, but he decided to leave that topic alone and focus strictly on weight loss.  I can see where he's coming from, but it would have been nice to get his take on exercise.

Cost

At a low price of only $14.97, it is a steal for the quality information it provides. 

Pros

• Simple, straight-forward approach
• Great information on metabolism
  
• Easy to follow meal plans
• Breaks down lots of mis-information
• Price

Cons

• No information on exercise
• No information about the psychological side of weight loss

Recommendation

If you want something that is very inexpensive and straight to the point, this is a perfect option for you.  Overall, this is a sound system to determine your individual dietary needs and what to do about it if you want to lose or gain weight.  It is not gimmicky and everything is based on current scientific principles and formulas.   The message is boiled down to a simple focus.  Chris does a good job of weeding through all of the other misinformation out there.  Between being low cost, giving accurate and reliable methods to control your body weight and composition, and a 60 money back guarantee if you don’t like it, this is a great buy!  It is not a "complete" weight loss system with pychological/emotional information (you know how I like that stuff) or exercise advice, but for $14.97, there's plenty of great information.  You just need to know what you're getting, which is the purpose of this site.
