Product Description
The world-renowned fitness coach on the hit TV show The Biggest Loser presents his winning approach to lasting weight loss by showing how to get at the root of your overeating problem, followed by a nutritionally savvy diet and unique exercise plan.
On The Biggest Loser, Bob Harper gives contestants the practical tools and psychological insights they need to get into the best shape of their lives. The key to his success is the emotional connection he makes with each participant, and he brings that same spirit to Are You Ready!
Harper starts with a four-step strategy for getting at the root of negative thought patterns and destructive behaviors, replacing both with a clear way to build self-worth and confidence. With these tools in place, people are empowered to make real, lasting changes in their lives. In an easy-to-follow eating plan, he provides lists of foods that are nutrient-dense and naturally low in calories, more than twenty sample menus, and tips on eating on the run, in restaurants, and on vacation. His fitness plan is geared to making exercise an integral part of daily life with workouts (ranging from 20 to 60 minutes) based on training techniques that tone and strengthen, burn calories, and reshape the body.
Woven throughout Are You Ready! are true-life success stories that will keep readers engaged and motivated; bulleted tips, tools, and coping strategies; and sidebars debunking common myths about food and fitness. Whether your goal is losing ten pounds or a hundred, you will find Harper’s message inspiring and his methods a proven path to finally achieving your dream of weight loss and fitness.

 Charming Presentation of the Same Old Same Old May 1, 2008

I'm a huge fan of The Biggest Loser. I cry when the contestants lose weight. Bob Harper is a great guy - the perfect counterpoint to Jillian Michaels drill sargeant persona. He appears to be kind, gentle, understanding, yet able to influence huge weight losses from the shows participants. I couldn't wait to get this CD and actually get a dose of the whole "Change Your Life" package. The truth is, there's really nothing new here. Bob tells us that we must get our insides together in order to be successful at changing our outsides; that we need to eat healthy foods and exercise at least 5 days a week. He tells us that if we screw up, we don't beat ourselves up. All this is delivered in Bob's charming, encouraging style. There is an enhancement to the CD that allows you to read his food list, sample menus & all of his prescribed exercises (or download the PDF version & print it out). I think that if you ordered the CD you will still want to get the book. There's too much information on supplements, exercise plans and implementation stages. I suspect that the book may have more details. My 4 star rating has nothing to do with what I think of Bob Harper. However, if you've been dieting/exercising for any length of time, you've probably already got this.
SELF WORTH - TRANSFORM INSIDE AND OUT! April 25, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bob Harper's book is about achieving lasting weight loss using his diet, exercise plan, and advice on self worth. He believes someone whose self worth may be damaged needs to find at least one thing they like about themselves. There is an emotional component to weight loss and Bob focuses on that as well as the more practical issues. The book digs into and tries to change negative thinking and behaviors into a constructive self worth and confidence-building plan that prepares you to make the external diet and exercise changes you need.
The diet plan provides lists of low cal, nutrient-dense foods, menu and recipe ideas, and ideas for eating well in restaurants. The exercise program has daily workouts ranging from 20 to 60 minutes. The exercise section includes a thorough presentation of strength training accompanied by pictures. The book incorporates inspiring testimonials and ideas on how to stay the course.
The book is clearly written as it takes you through a transformation from the inside out that is designed to change your life and body. You can sense the sincere tone of the author. Debra Lawrence, author of THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams

It's a good book to have if you're a Biggest loser fan. If you're into the whole yoga and calming technique you'll love it.
