The Best Investment You'll Ever Make...In YOURSELF!,
By C.T. Chase "cchase8860" (Arlington, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Leanness Lifestyle (Paperback)
In November of 2006, I was topping the scales at around 385, if I had to make a good guess. I looked like crap, I felt like crap, and I knew that at some point in my life (if I still wanted to HAVE a life), I would have to make a change. So I did what a lot of other people did. I was a serial fitness book/gadget buyer who dabbled in everything from Body For Life to Beachbody to Nutri-System to who-knows-what-else. I was no stranger to the Leanness Lifestyle program, either. Some years earlier, I had signed up and lost fifty pounds in a few months. But because I couldn't get my head out of all the misinformation and confusion out there, I lumped it in with all of my other failed attempts and chalked it up as just "one more thing on the pile."
Fast-forward to September of 2007. Here it was a year later, and in my doctor's office I discovered I was a little lighter (377 this time), but not enough to get me out of the morbidly obese category. Something had to change - I was 47 years old, and the prospects of reaching 50 weren't looking so good. I don't know why, but I remembered the Leanness Lifestyle program, and I decided that maybe it was worth another shot. That was about four months ago. As I write this, my weight is currently 316. And STILL dropping. What you need to understand when purchasing this book, is that if you've come to it looking for the "magic pill", the diet-that-works-overnight-without-having-to-exercise-one-freakin'-day, or some "ancient Chinese Secret" that its author picked up during his travels along the Great Wall, then you need to put down your credit card and back away from the PC. The word "LIFESTYLE" is not in the title for nothing, folks, because that's exactly what this is. In clear, concise terms that anyone paying attention can understand, David Greenwalt spells it all out for you. It's not rocket science or quantum physics - it's a wake-up call, a dash of cold water on the head, a reality check written from a bank account full of the knowledge that David has because he's been RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE NOW. There is nothing simple, easy-breezy or instant about what this book has in store for you. But here's the kicker: it's also NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Whatever your age, fitness level or current situation, what he has to say here is worth heeding. It isn't a process as simple as just "eating right and exercising", but you CAN do it. Buy the book. Read it - not once, but a couple of times. And then if you are convinced that he knows exactly what he's talking about, complete the start of the journey by signing up for the website that is this book's invaluable companion piece. This is NOT a review written or otherwise solicited by its author, and if you don't believe it, email me and I will reply with my current pictures. I was a cynic, a skeptic and a fatalist about my weight before all of this. Now I will be hitting my goal weight in just another four short months. Care to join me? Then don't wait another second. Get started NOW.

So Much Information on Physical and Mental Transformation!,
By
This review is from: The Leanness Lifestyle (Paperback)
I just happened across this author one day online when I was ready to make a change in my health and appearance. I am so lucky I did.
This is simply the most powerful book on physical transformation and the mindset and nutrition needed to get there that I have ever come across. I'm an avid reader in the personal development field and love the gurus like Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy and Zig. I consider myself well educated in fitness, having played college football and having trained with weight for over 20 years. I picked up a lot of knowledge along the way. Greenwalt truly combines fitness and motivation and is a selfmade expert in both. Greenwalt has done his homework and done it well. This book is an incredible resource on weight training, nutrition, cardio, body composition, and the psychology of motivation and choice to change. This is not a book about quick fixes or hype in anyway but this book works. I've not been following it perfectly but I've lost 6 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle in 1 month and I couldn't be more excited about my new lifestyle. My favorite parts of the book, are percentile charts that show how you rank against others in your age group for weight and bodyfat. This book is the first place I have seen documented how much lean muscle weight you can actually gain in a given time period. The section on nutrition is fascinating and outlines just how many calories a person can consume given there activity level and reach their desired weight loss goals. There is a formula in here for everything. The chapters on Goal Setting and motivation are great. This book has so much information in it, I consider it the equivalent of a college text book on exercise physiology but it is so straightforward and is something that I will use again and again. What a valuable reference! The only knock I can possibly give this book is at times, the author gets a little long winded about personal stories. But on the flipside, when I finished I felt like I knew him and that he was a genuinely caring human being that did 20 years of research and truly wanted to help his fellow man. Thank you so much for this book it is already changing my life and mindset. I look forward to doing one of the author's online bootcamps!

Whatever works,
By Kyle (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Leanness Lifestyle (Paperback)
Okay, bought the book, did the program. And it worked. It isn't rocket science. Eat properly. Exercise right. Smarten up and stick to it. There's no big secret, so what's so great? Everything's right there in front of you. Just do what the man says, and it'll work like he says. They're not pushing any gimmicks, or gadgets, or pills. Just stuff that you do everyday anyway, just doing it smarter. Reality is, we're all looking for an easy way to lose the spare tire. Doesn't exist. So, when you're ready to get it done, once and for all, keep this one in mind- it's all you need. What I didn't like? All the details. If you're not good at that, this won't be easy. Like I said, though, easy doesn't cut it.
