Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Fitness trainer Jorge Cruise has helped 3 million cyberspace clients lose weight, and now he's headed for your bookshelf with the same goal in mind. In just eight minutes a day, says Cruise, you can drop two pounds of fat per week, change your shape, and gain muscle and energy. His secret formula: an inspirational "wake-up talk," followed by strength training two muscle groups per day, eating according to his "eating card" program, and keeping a journal. For exercise, Cruise presents a varied, 28-day program of illustrated exercises using dumbbells. Why the emphasis on strength training? While aerobics burns calories while you're exercising, adding muscle revs up fat burning at rest by increasing your metabolic rate. Every pound of muscle you gain burns an extra 50 calories per day. You'll look better and feel younger and more energetic, resulting in more activity, burning more calories, he says. Cruise's eating plan emphasizes "good" (omega) fats, complex carbohydrates, high-quality protein (low in saturated fat), and vegetables, with dairy, fruits, and "treats and cravings" in moderation. His "Eating Card System" gives you an allotment of portions from each of the food groups. If you're the kind who likes the regimentation of following a specific program every day, Cruise will get you moving, eating better, and losing weight. --Joan Price

Rating: - AWESOME!
This is a practical GET IT DONE motivating tool. It is an easy step by step process in which it not only works your body but your thinking as well. I used the book as a workbook, journal in it everyday and followed the process. I lost over 10 pounds the first month and more importantly felt that I had changed my thinking in regard to exercise and food.

Rating: - A solid concept with a poor plan of execution.
Let me first state that the central idea of 8 Minutes In The Morning, raising metabolism through daily strength training, is a very solid concept, though certainly not original to this author. Basically, you start every day with two rapid pace strength training exercises (push ups, dips, lateral raises, squats, etc) with the intention of firing up your metabolism for extra calorie burning throughout the day. I personally think this is a great idea...but it is not the Holy Grail of weight loss quick ... Read More

Rating: - The Best Look at How to Loose Weight
I'm not going to rave completely about this book, but it is simply the best and most complete method of how to loose weight and keep it off. It is aimed at women more than men, but the things in the book are effective for men as well. He explains how the body works, which gives you better insight on why we eat what we eat in order to loose weight. It explains that carbs are just as important as protein, and that (certain) fats are just as important as vegetables. I was surprised to learn how fruit ... Read More
