I love this book! I have lost weight using Bill Phillips method after each of my babies. BFL has changed my life.

I hated this book. The information was good, but the writer speaks in a narrative with unnecessary verbage. There is the constant tic of "you see" throughout the writing, and being one who constantly edits people's writing, I found it truly irritating. If it were reedited, I would gladly reread this book.

I felt better (physically and mentally) when working out and doing the BFL plan. I worked out at home and modified the workout to fit my circumstances. I have used other books as well with this for a more varied workout and the BFL women's version too. I enjoyed the before and after photos and the stories of those whose lives have changed due to a new way of life. The book that goes along with this regarding diet is not set up for other diets such as vegetarian or others but all are interesting books overall and a good place to start. Their website can be used for a resource to chat with others who are using BFL.

A lot of good, basic information on eating and exercising. Doesn't seem gimmicky.

Has a lot of information, some new to me, some not. Still, a good book for motivation.

Change your mind--change your body--change your life. Imagine , just 12 weeks from now, having the lean, healthy body you've always waanted and not having to turn your life upside down to do it.

******My copy of the book does not have a cover and has some writing (not much!) in it. Please let me know if this will be a problem!******

But the book for me was all common knowledge, even the recipes. This information may have been new when the book was published, but now I feel all of this information I use now, and I need more detailed information. I need the *next* step.
