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.

Muse Review Mark: Highly Recommended

Reviewer: Alice Berger, Muse Reviews

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.

Great handbook for the fitness newcomer. This book covers all the bases and is jam packed with helpful tips for motivation. It shows you how healthy nutrition and exercise can fit into even the busiest of lifestyles. Uses a common sense approach and incorporates many pictures to help you understand the exercises and stretches. Complete with exercise programs, meal plans, how to shop for healthy foods, and demystifies all the common exercise myths to keep you on track.

Even though this is targeted towards enterpreneurs, this also applies to anyone who has a busy life and doesn't feel they are able to put the time aside to take care of themselves, and wind up letting themselves go. Ways to battle the bulge by following a 6 week menu plan by giving you the option of the fast food drive thru or a homemade lunch, exercises that keep your blood pumping throughout the day, motivations, myths, and also info that can apply to people who take road trips and need something to eat. The info is laid out so you don't feel like you're going through an encyclopedia to get the info you need, or feel overwhelmed. The book is one of the best I've read on the subject of fitness and nutrition in one place.

This book dose not teach you anything new. It just talks about basic fitness and nutrition advice that has been out there for many years.

In "The Entrepeneur's Diet" Tom Weede interviewed a bunch of phenomenally successful men and women and found out how they were able to fit exercise and proper nutrition into their busy schedules. These are people who need a ton of energy and to always be on their game. You would be surprised how much diet and exercise plays a part. Besides the really interesting first-person advice, Weede (who has a bunch of fitness credentials) also provides solid workout and nutrition programs. I really enjoyed this book. It had the info and inspiration all in one package.
