Are you so busy running your business that you don't have time to take care of yourself? Have you let your health suffer, and now feel it affects your ability to handle your business obligations? If so, this book is for you.

The Entrepreneur Diet offers encouragement and support in language a business owner can understand. Starting an exercise and diet program can be compared to starting a business, and can be approached in the same manner. If you've been successfully running your business, you can translate that success into taking better care of yourself, which will lead you to a better bottom line, both for your company and yourself.

The author, a former senior editor of Men's Fitness magazine and a certified health/fitness instructor, offers a total body health plan. It provides a six week menu with fast-food and quick fix options for those who don't have time to do their own cooking. Relevant nutritional information is provided for all meals. Many exercise choices are presented, including a desk workout, stretching, running or other cardiovascular exercise, and a muscle building routine.

This book also discusses the benefits of stress management, yoga and meditation, all designed to make life easier for the busy entrepreneur. And it provides solutions for finding a good gym when traveling, avoiding jet-lag, and planning to stick with your food choices when you know you'll be eating a lot of meals in restaurants.

Even if you're not an entrepreneur, but just a busy person always on the go, you'll find this book offers a sensible program you can live with.

This review is from: The Entrepreneur Diet : The On-the-Go Plan for Fitness, Weight Loss and Healthy Living (Entrepreneur Magazine) (Hardcover)

I came across this book quite by accident while looking for another. Usually if I can get one idea from a book that I can use right away, the purchase is worth it. With The Entrepreneur Diet there are so many tips I've lost count. The sidebars found all over the book are worth more than the purchase price.

Though it appears written for executives , the information is for everyone. The quick fix food option is a favorite, and the stress reduction techniques have been instrumental in relieving the tension created by the busy athletic competition schedules my athletes face.

Peak Performance demands peak health and Tom Weede has delivered nicely in this gem of a book, which combines dozens of topics , techniques and tips all in one package.

This book is stacked...GO OUT AND GET IT ! Put your Amazon order in!
