User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Motivating, yet missing…
I am a huge fan of the show- I watch it religiously as it really motivates me to push as hard as I can. I do not follow the BL diet, but only want the inspirational aspect of it. Watching the contestants struggle, moan, groan, scream and cry makes me realize that if these folks are brave enough to do it all on TV, then certainly I can get off my duff and get going!
The book serves its purpose for that. I’ve read it, got inspired by the casts hard work, determination and self-discoveries and even got some helpful hints on it.
That being said, I did find it to be lacking a bit. For someone looking for a complete “how to” weight loss book, there are others that seem to be more complete. For example, I did not read anywhere in here about drinking a healthy amount of water. In my experience,( and I know this myth was de-bunked at some point) drinking water is a key factor in weight loss- at least in my experience its been a huge factor. I know on the show the cast/contestants constantly have water with them, so it surprised me that they do not mention it at all.
The other thing was the calories they mention- seems pretty low, but again, there are like 10,000 different myths out there on what’s healthy, so maybe its sound advice, maybe not?
This is very basic, I supposed one who’s never attempted weight loss before would find it helpful. The information is helpful, but not as thorough as it could be, in my opinion.
4 Stars Good Read
This book was an inspiration and had tons of great tips. There are recipes in the back of the book, which for me is always a plus!
