Amazon Exclusive: Read Jackie Warner's Ten Tips for Getting in Shape, from Her Book This Is Why You're Fat
1. It’s not how long, it’s how strong. Incorporate 20 minutes of high intensity cardio each day. Walk fast on a treadmill for 2 minutes at a 15 incline then sprint for 2 minutes on flat ramp. Cool down for 1 minute and repeat this cycle 3 more times until you reach your 20 minute goal. 2. Women, make sure to include weight training at least 3-4 days a week. If you add 3-5 pounds of muscle to your body, you will burn 250-500 extra calories per day which equals 3-5 pounds of fat loss per week 3. Visualize the muscles you are working on–this is called the mind muscle connection and it will actually increase tone. 4. Your body hits a plateau with cardio and resistance training in one month so change your weight, reps and exercises accordingly 5. The fastest way to get the body you want is through my power circuit training. Combine 3 upper body exercises and 3 lower body exercises together to make one big set. Do not rest in between and alternate quickly from upper to lower for maximum fat burn. 6. The only muscle groups that really burn fat are the primary muscles like the chest, back, quads, glute and hamstrings. Focus hard on those! 7. You have to eat within an hour of working out to make sure you’re not eating into the muscle for energy. Make sure that you combine proteins and carbs like a blended protein shake with fruit and peanut butter or a piece of fruit with a low-fat string cheese. 8. Don’t just set a weight goal, set a physical goal too like running a 3k or training for a charity marathon. Human beings are competitive and you will spark that inner competition by trying to reach a difficult physical goal. 9. A little thing like changing your music playlist every week can go a long way. The more your mind is stimulated during your workouts, the better your results will be. 10. Instead of focusing on being fat, you’ve got to focus on being fit. If you think healthy, it eventually becomes reality to you. I always push my clients to focus on how strong they’re getting, how well they’re sleeping, and how happy they’re feeling by exercising.

 Getting healthy |
| Review Date: September 4, 2010 |
| Reviewer: healthy living, |
| Great book with knowledge of getting healthy and staying fit and trim. I've been following this healthy way of eating for over a month and have been amazed at how much more I've been eating, but have lost weight. It's definitely a lesson on what foods make a difference in weight loss and feeling better. |
Not your average diet book

What I like about Jackie's book is that she covers the need to check your hormone levels. This is the first book that I've read where the fitness professional calls that out as something people need to check and I've read A LOT of diet/exercise books.
Jackie's approach is level-headed and simple too. She knows that a lot of the "diet" thing is mental and approaches it from a positive side, showing that most foods out there have things in there that hurt/harm your body and food is meant to fuel it. She doesn't want the reader to psych themselves out of the diet by making it hard or feeling like she's taking foods that they love away. She details out the benefits and the drawbacks of foods on the market so that anyone can understand her.
She also includes high-intensity interval training for cardio, which isn't something new - it's just an approach to cardio that people seem to ignore. Then she has her resistance training (which is the chapter I'm set to read tomorrow).
I originally checked this out from the library to see if it was "just another one of those diet books" and I've now added it to my cart here on Amazon. There's just too much in the book that I want to have at my finger tips to let this one pass by.
So, in closing - this estrogen-dominant reader thanks Jackie for her book. I wish I would've checked my levels YEARS ago instead of swimming against stream for 30 years. |
Great & Straightforward Advice

| Review Date: August 18, 2010 |
| Reviewer: L. Bateman, JAMAICA PLAIN, MA |
| This book is classic Jackie Warner: smart, straightforward, sensible, and right to the point. I have always been a huge fan of Jackie Warner because she pulls no punches and tells it like it is, based on her many years of valuable experience. She practices what she preaches, and it shows. This book is packed with a ton of valuable information about nutrition, good foods vs. bad foods, vitamin & supplements, and exercise. I highly recommend it! |
Great book!

| This book says it all. It is helpful and very educational to what you are eating and how you are living your life. I am not a diet addict but read many books about health and eating right. This book expanded my knowledge and the advice really works! |
Ignorance trumps!

I am looking forward to trying out Warner's exercise routine.
However, her comment on p. 51, strikes me as really worrisome, especially given her total lack of medical training: "Medicine is nothing more than a bunch of chemicals that stress the liver and keep it from burning fat..." And on p. 45, she contends that "If you have hypothyrodoism, don't rely on your doctor to write a prescription...You can balance your thyroid naturally through food and exercise."
I LOVE my antihistamines--these affordable, so-called nasty chemicals have relieved me significantly from chronic allergies and asthma. When I couldn't afford to take them (there was still a patent out on them in the late 80s), my life was hell, despite all the wonderful homeopathic remedies recommended to me by well meaning friends.
Ditto for statins--without them, my cholesterol would be much much higher (genetic propensity).
As for hypothyroidism--all the dieting and exercise in the world, won't compensate for the wonderful effect that synthroid has had in imporving the lives of many women who suffer from this highly treatable condition.
Its the embarrasment of riches that has made so called new age gurus like Warner active advocates of the "evil" medicine thesis. Think of an age when none of these meds were available--and then draw the consequences.
If Warner believes that everything organic is good (try eating a natural deadly mushroom) and everything chemical bad, so be it. But she shouldn't let her personal dose of deadly advice become a mantra for everyone else.

Putting it Together and in layman terms makes sense
|
| Review Date: August 13, 2010 |
| Reviewer: CbsSheb, |
| I started out with a sample of this book on my iPhone and instantly got intrigued and purchased the book. I have been reading a little bit each night. I am 54 and have been working out for the past 25 years consistently. I watch what I eat, know probably more than most but what I really needed to know was WHY sugar was so bad. Jackie explains this is in simple terms and it makes so much sense. I have been using Splenda for years in my coffee and threw it all out. I am now using Truvia which is excellent and no weird after tastes. I am also using her little grab bag suggestions, i.e, hard boil eggs prepared and put in a baggie with salt and pepper. So easy for me to grab and take a cheese stick and an apple. I do not cook but from her book it does not seem you have to be in to cooking just having the right foods ready to go. Although I never was a soft drink drinker, I now add lemon to my water and make sure I drink at least 64 ozs a day. At night if I am hungry maybe a small cottage cheese and always keep blueberries in my freezer. Although I have been trying for years to get 5 lbs off, which is the hardest, I am more confident I will do it. My exercise routine is pretty much in control, train with a trainer 2 x week and do spinning (done this for years like clockwork). It was more my eating and the older I am getting the harder it is for me to keep the weight down. I will add that I do own a scale and get on it about every other day (used to be everyday). This really has helped with keeping my weight down because I know if my weight is up a day I need to back off on whatever my food is for that day. Now, I think if I plan my meals better and pack my cooler, which I did anyway I will see some results. Also, I have not had any sugar to speak of in the past few days but I will say that when I pick up a food I am not familiar with that will be the first thing I look for on the package is how many grams of sugar. All in all I would recommend this book to anyone that wants simple reading and not much of a complicated eating routine. As we all know if you stick with lean protein, fresh and/or raw foods you can't go wrong. I also keep a container of raw almonds in my car and spread my one serving out throughout the day; meaning each time I get in the car I eat about 4 almonds and don't exceed the container suggestion of a serv. If you just make those small changes in baby steps I believe this is how you can benefit from Jackie's book. |

| Information on eating and food plans/menu are great! I like that the food listed is "real" food most of us average people eat everday. ..no major changes to your shopping list. The exercises are good but I prefer DVD's to follow. |
Great information!!! Love it.

| Great diet tips and workout recommendations. Have been implementing her regiment and am losing weight and toning up! |
A very informative read!

| Reviewer: Mommytica, |
| I am very happy that I purchased this book from Jackie Warner. I personally had the opportunity to meet her when she just started out with her business in Beverly Hills. She is an excellent trainer and an awesome motivator. If I still had the money to pay for her lessons, I would still work with her. I would highly recommend this book for someone that really wants to lose weight the RIGHT way. No quick methods, no extreme diets, etc. The book is candid and through to what you need to know on how to lose weight properly, eat right and healthy; which is the key here. Even though, I am halfway from finishing the book, I know I will be happy once I am done with the book. |
Great to see Jackie again! I miss her show "Workout"!

| Reviewer: J. Rogers, NYC |
| I have just started reading this book, but I am already intrigued. It seems like a very straightforward way of eating clean and exercising consistently. As I already eat very clean, that part wasn't unfamiliar or hard for me. I need more motivation for the exercise part, and even that is broken down well. I like Jackie and I miss her show. I feel she really knows her stuff when it comes to working out. I have her exercise dvd and it is very effective. Well done! |
