 Not worth buying September 15, 2007

This book was probably the worst time waster for me in a long time. This author is so full of balloney. Who has the time to carefully monitor heart rate while exercising, timing exactly until one gets to a certain heart rate and than exercise only for a certain amount of minutes? Come on give me a break!
 common sense guide to fitness September 12, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I really liked how the author differentiated between "overweight" and "overfat." You can be overweight, like a body builder, but not be "fat" by any means. I learned quite a bit here. Basically, good exercise (and he provides many, many tips on this) is the key to having a healthy body. And he doesn't think dieting is a good idea. I like this guy. If you're looking to get in better shape or lose weight, this book is for you!
THE BIBLE OF FAT LOSS!! September 4, 1999

No other book describes what it takes to lose fat better than this one.Covert is brilliant at describing how the metabolism works in such a way that anyone can understand it.I refer to it often when my motivation slips because this book motivates as well as educates.It is pure common sense which is something that is lacking in today's society.This book is all you need.
Simple, easy to understand, informative, a great source February 13, 1999

It was an excellent source of basic information for the newcomer to the fitness world. The chapters were easy to understand but were in depth enough get the point across. An excellent source for someone who wants to get in shape. However, if you want a more scientific, in depth discussion, this may be a bit too simple.
great book - changed my life January 27, 1999

I am in my early thirties and had steadily gained weight for about three years at the rate of 4 or five pounds a year. The result was that last year I found myself about 15 pounds over my ideal 120lbs. I found this book logical and inspirational as it deals with lifestyle and eating habits rather than dieting. Over the course of about 9 months I lost all my excess weight without having to resort to diets. I am fitter and healthier and attribute this to the change in mindset I got from this easy to read book.
