Summary: A good place to start
Comment: For someone who is overweight and out of shape, this book is a good place to start. The idea of comparing a workout and diet regimen to a business plan is a novel idea, but it's the only gimick in the book. The workout is simple and can be done at home with only a few relatively inexpensive pieces of equipment. The eating plan is also simple and repeatedly hammers across the point that you really do need to count and cut calories to lose weight, there's no way around it. In this age where you're constantly being told that you can eat all you want as long as it's low in fat or low in carbs, it's a dose of much-needed common sense. Karas also stresses the importance of putting things into writing, both what you eat and the excercise you do. Yes it's a pain, but it really helps because the very fact that you are observing a behavior tends to change it. The only thing I wish I could have seen are more specific workout options, both free weights and machines. For those of us who already belong to a gym, I would have liked Karas to talk about how to get the most out of our memberships

Summary: Jim Karas' Knows His Stuff! The ONLY Solution to Weight Loss
Comment: I've personally met Jim and he is refreshingly on of the most genuine, caring, and honest people I've ever met. He is truly an inspiration.
Both of his books offer some tough advice about weight loss (no gimmicks here!) His solution is the only to succeeding at long-term weight loss. Jim is constantly informed of new research and incorporates it into his writings. He is a contributing editor for Good Housekeeping magazine.
A tip I would give readers: Carry this book with you as if it were your Bible. I'll be honest, I tried once and failed. But I revisited the book and found it motivating once again. Now I re-read passages daily to keep me going! It works!!!! Don't fall for gimmicks and fad diets. The truth is right here! You will never need another source for weight loss.
I highly recommend you buy both of Jim's books: Business Plan for the Body and Flip the Switch. Both offer invaluable information.

Summary: Don't bother
Comment: I enjoy a lot of exercise and eat well, but I thought I would brush up on my knowledge and remotivate to do more exercise than I already do - I selected this book as the BP concept seemed interesting. I put the book down after about 15 pages - for good. It seemed very apparent to me that the author has some serious mental issues with people who are overweight, and boy, he doesn't let you forget it! I did read that he was overweight himself at one point and he developed low self esteem as a result of this; well, it certainly shows. This book is extremely condescending - if you are an intelligent, positive individual, then this book isn't for you. If you want to be indoctrinated into the "thin is in" mantra, by all means, buy my copy (please!).
