Book Reviews of 8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed Up to 2 Pounds a Week -- Guaranteed

Book Review: A program that finally worked for me!
Summary: 5 Stars

The diet is simple, and based on the diabetic exchange diet. Some reviewers stated the amount of calories was too low, but there is a difference between how the food looks on paper versus on the plate. (Plus, to lose weight, you HAVE to expect to cut calories - I don't know of any other way to do it). I was surprised by how much food I could eat. Sometimes I never ate all the food I should have for the day because it was too much. The diet is also great because it's not a fad - it's the way you should eat normally. Also, because it's the exchange diet, you can eyeball your food when you are away from home. The only thing I didn't like, and this is just because of the diabetes, is that it listed only one snack for the day. Diabetics need to be eating every couple hours...so I just modified the plan to accomodate snacks between every meal, and an after-dinner snack. (It's pretty easy to modify the eating plan and to substitute an exercise I could not do with another I could)

The exercises are so quick and easy to do - even with children running around. I was able to fit in the exercises when I found I had a few minutes. You might not think it's possible to see changes with only eight minutes a day, six days a week, but it is. At the beginning of the program, I could not do push-ups at ALL. I substituted another exercise for that day. Now, I can do about half of the push ups - now that's progress for me!

Finally, no, the book does not have any new revelations or gimmicks. It's just straightforward diet, exercise, and motivational information packed into one portable book. I'm amazed at all the people who are seeking gimmicks here. You won't find them in this book. The thing that makes it "work" so well is the book layout. It's an easy, fast read, and information is simple to find. Important information is put into charts or stand-alone graphics. All your tools are located at the back of the book, and the exercises are labled, identified by day of program, and have dark edges so you can easily find that section in the book. There are small exercise cards in the back you can take with you when you travel.

There have been a few other reviewers who say the program is hard. I personally think it is very easy, and sometimes marvel that I am done with the day's exercises. Truthfully though, I was already familiar with the exchange diet, so maybe that may have made it easier for me...however, the exchange diet is all about portion/serving sizes, and that is something most people should learn about anyhow. If you do take the time to learn it, it will be something you can use for the rest of your life. Perhaps an additional purchase of an exchange diet booklet would help those who are not familiar with it. After you learn it, it's a no-brainer.
