Publisher Comments:

The book fans have been clamoring for--the diet and exercise plan that enabled contestants to transform their bodies and their lives on TV's new smash hit reality show

The Biggest Loser was NBC's surprise hit of the Fall 2004 television season, drawing a passionate audience and prompting people nationwide to start their own Biggest Loser competitions. This unscripted weight-loss drama was based on overweight contestants competing to lose weight and win a quarter of a million dollars with the help of a team of doctors, dietitians, and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels.

On the evening that the first season's finale aired, legions of fans went to the NBC Web site to look for the diet and fitness plan that the contestants used. It wasn't available to the public--until now. With this book, people looking for change can accomplish the same type of radical makeover of their bodies, their health, and their lives that they saw on The Biggest Loser.

The book features the food and fitness plans from Bob and Jillian, health advice from the show's medical experts, and motivational tips from the contestants themselves. The contestants' compelling stories and reasons for losing weight, dramatic before-and-after photos, and real-life advice provide the inspiration and upbeat attitude that made this show a smash hit.

In my opinion, this book has a decent amount of useful information. Most weight loss books are full of common sense info that the average person would already know without having to read it. This book, however, was insightful and entertaining. It's not the type of book where you say "aha, that's the secret to losing tons of weight really fast" but it is a good road map. The bottom line is that you have to be ready to comit to healthy eating and excercise for this program to work; it is not a miracle diet. I originally checked it out from the library and I enjoyed it enough that I'm going to purchase a copy for myself (from Powell's of course). Overall, I found the book to be inspiring and very straight forward.
