5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable information!, March 4, 2005

This review is from: Everything You Need To Know About Fat Loss (Paperback)

While I agree with several of the other reviewers that say that Chris Aceto needs a better English editor (he seems to have the common problem with homonyms that many people do, your vs you're), the content of the book far outweighs any annoying English errors.

This book is not for the person who yoyo diets. This book is not for a person who eats up every weight-loss trend out there. This book contains very valuable and scientific information as to the hormonal background behind people who eat "healthy" but still have problems losing weight.

If you've read South Beach, The Zone, Atkins, Look Great Naked, and basically "eat clean", but still have problems this book might have some answers for you. I would reccommend this book, as well as Body for Life/Eating for Life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A as in A-Plus!, July 28, 2000

This review is from: Everything You Need to Know About Fat Loss (Paperback)

Now here's a gem, a never cease to amaze you little fountain of knowledge you HAVE TO HAVE. Why? This author spells it all out...how calories are not always calories, how different types of carbs can make you fat, how lo carb diets work and how high carb diets work. WHich one is best? Depends on you! The author covers weight training. Specifically why it is BETTER than aerobics for melting away the pounds and supplements that can help you shed fat. Most important, the author is not PUSHING anything- a diet- a supplement, nothing is being hawked or shoved down the readers throat! That , I appreciate. No bars, drinks, meal replacement drinks or stupid diet pills. All you get is real world dieting info, how it works and how to use it. I can't say enough about this book. Its one heck of a read.

This review is from: Everything You Need to Know About Fat Loss (Paperback)

I have been a personal trainer for years and I own a sports supplement store. This is the best book I have ever read on fat loss. It is very well written and it's like Chris is sitting there talking to you. It really does have all the info you could want about fat loss presented in laymens terms. Totally worth the money.
