person. He advocates 5-7 days of exercise of 40-60 minutes duration, which I would find scary, and in ways that's a problem with the book, he doesn't advocate easing yourself into exercise but launching yourself into it which many people would find intimidating.

A book that would be better in the hands of someone who had already embarked on a fitness regime and had plateaued rather than a rank beginner like me.

Best done in conjunction with a nutritionist or doctor or both to check on the currency of some of the information about diet.

I don't have the companion workbook that was printed with this. I have the yellow colored one. There are good photo history here. This is her diary. She came out with a red wagon of the fat she lost, and then regained it. How I know the yo-yo syndrome.

I ran my first marathon by being inspired by this book. If Opera can do I must be able to do it.
