If you have read a lot of diet books, and are looking
for the magic cure, don¹t waste your money. You already know how
to lose weight. Eat less, exercise more, and don¹t go on fad
diets. There. Hundreds of dollars of totally free advice, all in the
space of one sentence! The promotional materials for this book are a
little over the top. Big red letters proclaiming that "I lost TONS of
PURE FAT! AND SO CAN YOU!" followed by a number of enthusiastic
testimonials, and more hype like "THIS PROGRAM IS PACKED WITH WEIGHT
LOSS SECRETS!" Of course you won¹t lose pure fat. No one does.
When you lose weight you lose a combination of fat and muscle. There
are also no weight loss secrets. If there were, they would probably be
published in a prestigious journal, since there are very few, if any,
secrets to weight loss. Still, the book isn¹t particularly
expensive, it is kind of fun to work through, and does have a few nifty
tools. So what do you get for your $15.05? Well the e-book is really
more of an executable presentation than a book. Each "page" is like a
slide, with a paragraph or so of information. Since you enter your name
into it at the beginning, it does customise the text to your name (a
little cheesy), and it also plays some department store type piano
music in the background if you want. However, there is nothing in this
"book" which is new or revolutionary in any sense, nor should there be.
As The Ultimate Weight Loss Book very succinctly points
out, fad diets are doomed to failure, and the only thing which will
help you lose fat and keep it off is to make a lifestyle change which
is healthy and workable for the long term.
To do that, youŠwork out how many calories you need to
eat each day to achieve the weight loss you want, exercise more, drink
lots of water, and make sure that you eat reasonable quantities of
healthy and satisfying food, avoiding empty calories. The Œbook¹
does contain some things like a tool for calculating your body mass
index, and the risk associated with that, along with a body fat %
calculator, a calculator for working out the amount of calories you
need to consume each day to reach or maintain your ideal weight, and
some information on food groups, the FDA food pyramid, some low fat
recipes, sample daily menus, some Internet links, a printable calorie
and fat tabulator, and a number of pages of tips and tricks. The
Ultimate Weight Loss book is about 55 pages long (although each page
has only about a paragraph on it), and could easily be distilled into a
single page report.
On the other hand, all of the advice is perfectly
reasonable, and will most certainly work if you take it. The book is
easy to follow; easy to memorise (if you haven¹t already memorised
these basic points of nutrition), and has been designed in a very
simple, fun, and lightly interactive way. There are worse things to
waste your money on such as expensive pre-prepared food plans (I tried
one very well known and still in existence program a very long time
ago, and it was awful the food was bad, unsatisfying, and I ended
up pretty ill), fad diet books which can wreck your health and body,
and worst of all, diet pills. So if you want a little nudge in the
right direction, and don¹t mind re-reading the sensible advice you
know you have to follow to lose weight already, The Ultimate
Weight Loss Book is for you. You can even get your money back
by sending in a photo and testimonial for their promo page. Just
don¹t expect any secrets, and don¹t swallow the hype. This is
just another sensible guide in a pretty package.
