With so many diet and fitness books out spilling out the shelves of self-help sections in bookstores, it’s hard to decode one from the other. What separates Bob Greene from the rest of those authors? Well, for one, he has perhaps the biggest success story under his belt. As a personal trainer and adviser to Oprah, Bob was able to show the entire world how effective his methods of weight loss and overall healthy living really are. Oprah serves as both living proof and source of inspiration for Bob Greene’s work. But the true distinction of Bob’s ‘Total Body Makeover’ is his boot-camp like approach to weight loss.
While most diet programs focus on either eating healthy or working out, ‘Total Body Makeover’ is a total package including a complete 12 week plan that targets the entire body through both diet and fitness. Bob combines both a workout and eating plan to create an easy to follow, systematic, 12 week program. But before embarking on the journey to weight loss, he insists that readers first confront their internal issues before working on their external appearance. He presses the reader to find out why they have had poor eating and exercising habits, attempting to get to the root of their problems and allowing them to start the program with a sound emotional base. Realizing that his readers need a reason to believe in both the success of the program and their own potential triumphs, Bob inserts plenty of true success stories of those who have transformed their bodies and lives as sources of hope for the audience.
After addressing internal matters, the program leads you to a systematic fitness guide where you will find step-by-step exercises. These exercises are split into three categories: functional exercises, strengthening exercises, and aerobic exercise all used to achieve ultimate fitness. The eating plan which follows is comprised of five simple rules to help you eat lose weight: curb emotional eating, eat breakfast, establish an eating cut-off time, drink lots of water, and limit alcohol. This system will help you consume fewer calories while burning more. Bob Greene’s “Total Body Makeover” is designed to challenge you while providing attractive results in a small amount of time. Each workout is designed to be both fun and functional so you can feel good about losing weight. Bob provides answers to the thousands of questions you may have about altering your eating habits, while also advising you on how to keep the weight off. He tackles such issues as emotional eating and alcohol consumption with an efficient rule system designed to help achieve maximum results. Not intended for the apathetic user, Bob’s plan is a serious 12-week commitment with powerful results.
