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.

Exceptional
This book written by Bob Harper is one in a million. The book, from start to finish, gives you the tools to begin your weight-loss journey. For me, I was already part way there before reading the book. It allowed me to push that much further. Bob is motivational, inspirational and compassionate. He is an amazing person who has helped me to `change my life forever'.

Are You Ready? By Bob Harper
Bob Harper is so motivating. I love Bob's approach on weight loss or getting in shape. Excellent excellent read!!! I learned a lot from Bob just by reading his book and following his advice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the guidance needed to lose weight or get in shape. Bob's book was just what I needed to make me want to keep going and to stay healthy.

Pretty Good Diet Book. I have some questions though...
I picked this Diet book up because I need to lose a few L B's.

I thought Bob Harper would talk about how the "Biggest Losers" lost 20 lbs per week. He didn't really talk about that. I have my doubts that "The Biggest Loser" TV show is real. See this site: http://elitefatrunner.blogspot.com

It is a good fitness book. Nice common sense stuff and workout routines. Nothing new but it is a good book. Organized well. I think Bob is a good trainer and likes what he does.

If you like him on the TV show you'll like this book.
