Product Description
Review
This four-week plan is based on boosting the metabolic rate. Although Shilstone identifies various foods as being able to "burn fat," a misleading concept, still the diet, recipes, and exercise plans are reasonable and not dangerous in any way. The author of Lose Your Love Handles and Maximum Energy for Life, Shilstone has worked with heavyweight champions Michael Spinks and Roy Jones Jr. This guide, although it includes a diet for women, will appeal primarily to men. (from the Diet/Fitness roundup by Susan Hagloch) ("Library Journal, January 15, 2005)

Review by my wife:
I don't often read non-fiction however after flicking through a couple of pages, which is my normal way to read these types of books, some of the headings caught my eye and made me want to read them properly and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this book and found some of the information very informative, particularly about the areas where fat SHOULD lie in male and female bodies. It was reassuring to know that my 'problem areas' where in the typical female places because, according to the book, if you start to store fat in non-typical areas such as getting a large stomach for a female or starting to store fat on your hips if your'e a man, are definite warning signs that need to be addressed. There is so much more to this book and I could spend all day listing the interesting information that I gleaned, needless to say this is a good book for those who want to learn a little more about fat and how to help reduce it. This is not an exercise plan but more of the theory, however it is well written and not too heavy on the facts, so don't be put off because we can all do exercises but we still need to know that what we are doing is right and why it is helping.

Exactly as titled
8 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
I bought this book after seeing a few bad reviews along with all the good ones. Some critics where fair, there is a lot of things in this book that have been said before, but honestly, when was there a big revolution in getting healthy? The only new things in this category are fad diets and we all know they don't work. This book is very well written and it is not only written for the grossly overweight who have tried everything, but it is also written for people who are trying to help health issues such as high cholesterol and diabetes. Mr. Shilstone does a very good job explaining why things do and do not work rather than just saying it. All of the food recipes work well and he makes sure to make the point of not leaving large groups of foods off your diet, also everything he suggests is very satisfying food that tastes good too.
The supplements can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to taking lots of pills every day. As for the "9 foods that burn fat" that another reviewer pointed out don't exist, the actual title of that chapter is "foods that burn fat", the chapter number is 9, so that is just a misunderstanding. This book is more about fixing your matabolism so that you can lose fat and not lean muscle mass, if that is not your goal, or you are not willing to invest an hour a day to exercise, you will not fully benefit from this book. With that said, do not be scared by the full hour, this is not a "gym rat" type of workout, it is not designed to become a bodybuilder, it is set up to get your muscles into shape to burn excess calories.

This is the REAL DEAL
9 Mar 2005
Format:Hardcover
I'm sick of fad diets and books that deliver what they promise but only on the short run, and leave you hanging after the initial weight loss. Mackie Shilstone knows his stuff. There are no gimmicks in this plan. He promises you'll lose up to 3% body fat and go down up to 2 dress sizes (if you're a woman) in 28 days and he delivers. I lost 15 lbs in a month and went from a size 12 to an 8 in a month! But this is no 8-minute miracle plan that will force you to forego carbs. This is the old tried and true approach: you WILL have to work out hard, and you WILL have to eat less calories than you burn. The food is much more approachable than those mad low-carb diets (you can have sausage, cheese, pita bread, etc.), and it doesn't require that you use weird, untested supplements. After the first 28 days, I've moved on to the intermediate phase and I'm still losing weight with the help of menus and detailed workout plans that Shilstone provides. I highly recommend this book. My energy level has shot up tremendously, and now that I'm in the intermediate level I can look forward to relaxing a little on the time I spend at the gym because losing fat and gaining muscle means I'm burning fat more efficiently. If you're sick of going from program to program, try this. You won't regret it.

Amazing -- And I've Only Just Begun
7 May 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not sure why Susan Hogloch would write in the review included in the book description that this approach would appeal mostly to men. I urge you other women reading this out there to disregard that comment. The chapter on supplements which boost metabolism alone is worth the price of this book. I can say that because, to date, that's the only part of the book I've had time to put into practice. Just with the addition of the supplements over the span of about 2 months, I lost 14 pounds. That weight came off in exactly the places he writes about (reverse fat gain syndrome) that often indicates a messed-up metabolism. I can only imagine what will happen once I adjust my exercise regime to his plan and start following the nutritional guidelines. I'm a believer and have been recommending the book to my friends.
