Title: This Is Why You’re Fat (And How To Get Thin Forever) Author: Jackie Warner Where To Buy: Amazon.com Rating: Price: $24.99 $14.99 (Click Here For This Special Price)

I saw this book on Amazon.com a few months ago and immediately thought it looked interesting, so I decided to read it. It was a quick and easy read and I liked it a lot so I decided I would review it for you. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand what causes us to get fat and how to overcome it.

Meet The Author: Jackie Warner

I can’t really put one specific label on Jackie Warner as she is/does a lot of things. As it relates to this book, the most important thing to know is that she is a fitness expert. She is also a gym owner, has her own television show, and is an all around entrepreneur. Beyond writing books, she has also made a few exercise videos.

What’s In The Book?

The book is divided into four parts:

Part 1 – This Is Why You’re Fat

In this section, Jackie talks about all the things that contribute to making you fat. She talks a lot about sugar and the way it effects various chemical processes in the body. She also talks about different organs in the body and how they play a part in making you fat or skinny.

Part 2 – This Is How You Eat To Get Hot And Healthy

In this section, you will learn all about Jackie’s approach to eating healthy. Her approach is different than most other diets. In fact, I’m not even sure you would call it a diet. She calls it a food plan.

One interesting part of this section is Jackie Warner’s 2-Week Jump Start. During the first two weeks of her program, all you worry about is making sure you are eating certain foods. You don’t have to stop eating anything you are currently eating or control yourself in any other way. All you have to do it is add in the foods on her list if you aren’t already eating them. It’s kind of like the opposite of a “diet.”

Part 3 – This Is How You Exercise To Get Hot And Healthy

Here is where you will learn all about the Jackie Warner exercise program. Just like the previous section, this section starts with a two week jump start. All you do during these two weeks is a 20 minute cardio routine five days a week. She even gives you six different routines to choose from so there is something for everyone.

After the two week intro, she will take you through her Power Circuits. This is Jackie Warner’s personal approach to circuit training. The best way to burn fat is to build muscle and this is the approach that Jackie takes. She focuses on strength training, but all of the exercises use only body weight or a small dumbbell.

Part 4 – This Is How You Stay Hot And Healthy

In this last section, Jackie focuses on getting your mind right. You may not believe it, but so much of physical fitness is in the mind. If you can’t get your mind right, you will never get the results you want. Jackie will take you through getting in the right mindset to stay thin for the rest of you life.

After Part 4, there are several appendices with some very useful resources. She includes several meal plans and recipes, a sample food journal, and a sample training log.

Why I Like This Book

There are several reasons why I think this is a great book. First of all, it is in line with my exercise and weight loss philosophy, so I know that the things she is saying are correct. Secondly, I like her writing style. As I said earlier, it is an easy read. I also like the layout of the book. The way Jackie takes you through it is very logical. The four parts of the book do a great job of taking you from beginning to end. She tells you why you’re fat, how to get skinny, and then how to stay skinny. It feels very complete.

Some other great things about this book are the meal plans and exercise routines. Jackie gives you great examples of what to eat and even gives you recipes you can follow. For the exercises, each one is illustrated by Jackie making it really easy to follow.

Last of all, the best thing about this book is Jackie’s program. Of all the weight loss programs out there, this one is really easy to follow. The meal plan isn’t too difficult and the exercises are rather simple. All you have to do is read it and do what it says.

Why I Don’t Like This Book

I don’t have many negative things to say about his book, however I will point out a couple things. First of all, this book was written by a woman for women. Throughout the book, Jackie makes it obvious that this book is for women by discussing things that are specific to the female body. This isn’t necessarily a negative (especially if you are a woman) but it does mean that certain parts of the book just won’t pertain to men. That being said, there is nothing about Jackie’s plan that doesn’t apply equally to men and women. I still recommend this book for men. They just need to gloss over the parts where she talks about breasts or getting a tone butt and legs so you will be attractive to men.

The only other complaint I have is with the Power Circuit routines. The routines are good, but there were a couple of things that weren’t immediately obvious to me when I read them. I had to take a minute to make sure I really understood how to complete the circuits. It wasn’t a big deal, but I thought the explanation could have been a little clearer.

Why You Should Own This Book

If you have struggled to lose weight, this book is for you. Jackie takes a different approach to weight loss because she knows how difficult it can be to stick with a diet and exercise routine. Her emphasis is on making her plan easy to follow and easy to stick with.

If you eat like most people eat, then this book is for you. So many of the things we are used to eating are responsible for making us fat. Even some of the foods that you think are healthy are actually contributing to making you fat. This book will educate you on exactly how you should be eating to get and stay thin forever.

If you have been doing countless hours of cardio with little to no results, this book is for you. Traditional cardio is not the answer to weight loss. You need to change the way you exercise to maximize your fat burning potential and this book will teach you how to do it.

To Sum It Up

This Is Why You’re Fat by Jackie Warner is a great book for anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off forever. Everything you need is contained within this book. If you are ready to make a positive change in your life then you should definitely check out this book.

Part of the reason that it is so difficult to build muscle is that there is so much misinformation circulating around the fitness world. When you look through the muscle magazines or browse the internet, all you see are these mammoth dudes whose mother’s probably put steroids in their bottles from the time they were newborns. All of the advice in these magazines is for these huge guys and has little relevance to you.

What you need is advice from a formerly skinny guy who has unlocked the secrets to packing on solid muscle mass. The expert in this field is Vince DelMonte. He is a former stick-thin distance runner who couldn’t gain muscle to save his life. He finally met a guy whom he calls the “Skinny Guy Savior” who taught him the right way to build muscle. Since then, Vince has transformed his body and now shares his knowledge with other skinny guys who are struggling to build muscle. It is a pretty interesting story and you can watch a video about it here.

Vince has a system that teaches skinny guys how to pack on muscle mass. The system is called No-Nonsense Muscle Building. If you’ve never checked it out before, now is a great time to grab a copy. Vince just started offering a $1 trial of his system. For just one dollar you can check it out and see what you think. You get to try it out for 21 days which should give you plenty of time to decide if you like it.

With the $1 offer, Vince is also giving away a ton of bonuses. He calls it the Hardgainers Success Kit. I won’t list the bonuses here because you can read all about them when you click on the link above. There are 12 bonuses in all and you get some pretty cool and useful stuff. The only catch is that I don’t know how long Vince is going to leave this offer up so you should check it out now.

I’ll admit it, you’ll look goofy shaking the weight back and forth (check out these videos to see what I mean: for men, for women), but if it works then who cares what it looks like. Supposedly, these things are supposed to be 7 times more effective than a regular dumbbell. They say that 6 minutes with the Shake Weight is like 42 minutes with a regular dumbbell.

As soon as I saw the Shake Weight, my thoughts immediately turned to P90X. Dumbbells are a major part of P90X, so I naturally thought about using the Shake Weight for the P90X workouts. Now that would be an intense workout. If you had one Shake Weight, you could use it for a lot of the P90X exercises, but if you had two of them you could really go crazy.

I just recently heard about the Shake Weight, so I don’t own one yet; but I plan on getting one soon. Once I get mine and try it out, I’ll write up a full review. If you don’t want to wait for my review, go ahead and get your own and try it out with me. There are two versions, Shake Weight For Men and Shake Weight For Women. If you get one (or already have one) leave a comment and let me know what you think of it.

Just imagine another summer of watching all the hot bodies having fun while you sit on the sidelines, unwilling to jump in the water and join in the fun because you are too ashamed to take off your shirt. Instead of enjoying your summer, you spend your time wishing you had lost those extra pounds.

It doesn’t have to be that way though. Instead of being on the sidelines, you can be one of those hot bodies. Just picture it in your mind for a minute. You’re anxious to get to the beach or to the pool so you can unveil your new body. As you walk around in your bathing suit, all eyes are on you. Your friends and family are blown away by how amazing you look. It feels good doesn’t it?

Okay, enough imagining. Let’s talk about how you can make it a reality in just 90 days. I truly believe, that with very few exceptions, anybody who wants to can lose their excess body fat. Since you took the time to go online and find this article about losing weight, that means that somewhere inside of you is a belief that you can lose weight. You just need to take that belief (no matter how small it currently is) and turn it into motivation.

I say you need motivation because it is going to take some hard work to get rid of all your excess body fat in just 90 days. I’m willing to bet that it took you longer than 90 days to put on that extra weight, so it stands to reason that it will take some time to lose it.

There are many programs and systems available to help you lose weight. The good ones almost always focus on the fundamentals, exercising and eating properly. I’ve seen many systems come and go over the years, and two of the best I’ve found are P90X and The Truth About Six Pack Abs.

You only have a few short months until Summer arrives. If you want to be in shape for bathing suit season then you better get moving fast. Either of these two programs can help you transform your body in 90 days. By the end of June you could be looking in the mirror at a brand new you. It’s yours for the taking if you really want it. Pick the program that best fits your goals and lifestyle and then get started today.

All that being said, The Truth About Six Pack Abs program has always had one main weakness. It’s a manual and you have to read it. It can be difficult to sit and read through an exercise and nutrition manual and then go out and implement what you read. Mike’s program is easy to understand and has great illustrations, but it is still a manual. That is, it was just a manual until yesterday.

Just Released: The Truth About Six Pack Abs Videos

Mike just released his entire The Truth About Six Pack Abs program in video format. No longer do you have to struggle to figure out what you have to do. Just watch the videos and you’re off. It doesn’t get any easier than that. You can even put the videos on your iPod (or other video device) and take them to the gym with you. It’s like having a personal trainer right in the palm of your hand.

70% Discount

The best part about The Truth About Six Pack Abs videos being released is that Mike is celebrating the release with a limited time 70% discount. The discount only lasts until Saturday March 13, 2010 at 11:59 PM CST. That means you only have a few days to take advantage of Mike’s crazy offer. After that, everything will go up to the regular full price (which is still a great deal by the way).

If you already own The Truth About Six Pack Abs program, these videos are a great add on. If you don’t own it yet, you can get the full program and the videos and still get the 70% discount on both. Either way, it’s a great deal. To get the discount, click here to go to Mike’s site, and don’t forget that this offer expires this Saturday.

I know, that’s not the answer you were looking for. So, let’s get to the heart of it and take a look at some of the similarities and differences between the two programs.

P90X And Insanity Similarities

• Both programs are in-home DVD programs
• Both programs are very intense
• They are priced the same (S&H is $5 more on Insanity)
• There is a nutrition plan with both programs
• Both programs come with a money back guarantee

P90X And Insanity Differences

• P90X is a 90 day program and Insanity is a 60 day program
• P90X requires dumbbells and a pull-up bar and Insanity only uses your own body weight
• P90X is a 7 day a week program and Insanity is a 6 day a week program
• P90X workouts are longer than Insanity workouts
• P90X is more low-key than Insanity

The bottom line is, both programs will give you results. You have to pick the one that feels like the best fit for you. Insanity is more intense than P90X, but P90X is a bigger time commitment than Insanity. It’s a bit of a trade-off. My suggestion is to pick the one that you are most likely to stick with. Insanity focuses on a lot of plyometric type moves while P90X has you doing everything from plyometrics to resistance training to yoga. If you like plymetrics, give Insanity a shot. If variety is more appealing to you, try out P90X. Whatever you decide, you can’t go wrong. If you can’t make up your mind, get them both. That will give you a lifetime of killer workouts and it will cost you far less than a year at the gym.

Does P90X Really Work?

The short answer is yes. P90X is a great program. It comes with 12 excellent workouts that will get your heart racing and sweat flowing. The way I see it, there’s really no question about the quality and effectiveness of the P90X workouts, and the nutrition guide is top notch too. When I went through the P90X program, I was very pleased with my results and I’ve heard nothing but positive comments from others that have used it. That being said, no two people are quite the same, and that brings us to the second question.

Will P90X Work For Me?

It really doesn’t matter if P90X worked for everyone else who has used it. It only matters if P90X will work for you. So what determines if P90X will work for you? Is it your age, gender, weight, hair color, etc? Absolutely not. P90X is able to produce results regardless of what demographic you fall under. The deciding factors that determine if P90X will work for you are your dedication to the program and your work ethic. If you are ready to work hard and stick to the program, you will see results from P90X. There are no miracle systems that will make you lose weight and get in shape without any hard work on your part. The way to get a great body is the same today as it has always been, lots of hard work and dedication. P90X is no different. You are going to have to work hard, but rest assured that P90X will reward you for your effort. If you give it all you’ve got and don’t cheat yourself, you will see results.

As with most things, the best way to find out if P90X will work for you is to try it. P90X comes with a 90 day money back guarantee, so you really don’t have anything to lose. Order P90X today and in 90 short days you will know that P90X will work for you and you’ll be wondering why you didn’t try it sooner.
