Making the Cut: The 30-Day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You
Date undefinedMy background: I lost a significant amount of weight (about 50 pounds) a few years back and have always struggled with that last 15-20 pounds that would really make me look great. I knew that Jillian understood how hard it is for people to lose that last bit of fat; I also knew that doing the same workout routine over and over wasn't going to cut it.
THE PROGRAM ABSOLUTELY WORKED in the following ways:
1. The workouts themselves are expertly designed and incredibly challenging. I saw definition in my shoulders and arms after 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, I noticed that the shape of my stomach was changing, and trust me, NO workout has ever accomplished that for me before.
2. Jillian isn't to wordy. She tells you exactly what to do. It's a handbook for action, not for theory. If you're like me and you've read a billion books about weight loss before, this is a relief.
I FOUND A FEW FLAWS WITH:
1. I am living in South Korea, and the shopping list is so incredibly American-ized that it's pretty much impossible to make any of the recipes in the book. I don't even have an oven in my apartment! However, I didn't follow any of her nutrition advice and I still lost 15 pounds and look fabulous, so it shouldn't be too much of a deterrant. It was just kind of a bummer.
2. As soon as I finished, I thought, "now what?" I'd really like to maintain my new fitness level, but im not sure how to continue. I can't just keep doing the program over and over (Can I?).
It seems like, to be able to maintain this shape, I need to buy another Jillan Micheals book or join her website. Good for her for getting all my money! But as it stands, I've never read a plan as good as hers before in my life, and until I do, she definitely has a loyal customer in me.

Date undefinedThis is no doubt a great book! And I read it in 1 day on my Kindle. However, this book should be purchased in print format because of the tables, menu plan and other items are not viewable. And the menu is most definitely a must have! I bought it on the Kindle now I'm going to have to buy it in print form. What a waste of money to have to buy it twice!

Date undefinedI just try to follow the diet for a week and it worked; I could already see a difference in my stomach I was so happy; however I'm not deciplined and I stopped following step by step on the diet, but I still follow the principles of this book. I highly recommend this book it has a valuable nutrional information such, it gives you a quiz to complete and from that it tells you what kind of oxidizer you are and which one of the three meal plans best suits you. If you follow the diets outlined in this book it will work!!!
