5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare for a new you, for anyone who wants a transition., April 25, 2002
This review is from: Fat Wars: 45 days to transform your body (For Dummies (Health & Fitness)) (Paperback)
After watching Brad King on a morning talk show, I immediately bought his book FAT WARS. Because I am into fitness and nutrtion and very curious on how a body works with food, this book literally explains it step by step in understanding language. Once you read this book and UNDERSTAND how your body works, what the cells do and so forth, anybody can transform their body. This book educates you RATHER than telling you what to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will change your life!!!!, April 24, 2002
By 
"lexsteele" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fat Wars: 45 days to transform your body (For Dummies (Health & Fitness)) (Paperback)
Brad J King has changed my life. I've been doing the things that he said in his book now for 2 months and I have lost 20 pounds. This is not one of your "quick fix" diet books, but a way of life! What I enjoyed most about the book is the knowledge that Mr. King puts in your hands. He teaches you about how your body works and what it needs, with food being the most important component. The great part about the book is that it is in fact entitled "Fat Wars", but this is not the real message that Brad is sending out. See all the things that Brad talks about in his book relates to your overall health as a whole. If you implement the things he talks about, you will significantly lowr your changes of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and many other diseases. This is the most important message that I received. Basically, burning the fat off is a by-product of eating healthy and feeding your body what it needs. Buy the book, it will change your life. It has already done so for me. And I forgot to mention that I eat like a pig (5times a day) and can't see myself ever going back to my old eating habits again. Knowledge is power. Thanks Brad King!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are over-fat.....buy this book now!!, June 21, 2002

This review is from: Fat Wars: 45 days to transform your body (For Dummies (Health & Fitness)) (Paperback)
I have read tons of books on health and fitness over the past few years, and FAT WARS by Brad King is by far the best one yet! Brad has a way putting complex issues of the human body into a very understandable language. This book has put an end to my confusion of how to finally lose fat for good.

FAT WARS is a simple strategy that teaches you how to take the right steps to get rid of the body fat permanently! It is NOT some trendy diet or quick fix. FAT WARS is about a solid lifestyle plan that teaches you how to get lean and be healthy for a lifetime. I highly recommend this book to any person who wants to learn how to change your body for the better. This book was money well spent! Fatwars.com is also a great accompanying web-site.
