If you have 30-plus pounds to lose, Jorge
Cruise--fitness trainer to millions via his Web site, media
appearances, and best-selling
8 Minutes in the Morning--promises success with this
28-day program.
First, stop
sabotaging yourself: (1) "Accept yourself whatever your size"
and (2) "Eliminate emotional eating by healing your hungry
heart." Aim for a healthy, realistic weight.
"Some people are at
their best and healthiest weight at size 12, 16, or 24," he
writes. Cruise describes how to stop using food to numb
pain--instead, seek out nurturing friendships to overcome
emotional eating.
He echoes the "8
minute" theme of his first book, emphasizing emotional success
as well as exercising and eating right.
His system of
"Cruise Moves"--an easy, 8-minute, muscle-strengthening
program--is less vigorous than in his earlier book and is
easier on knees and backs, and it requires no equipment.
The "Cruise Down
Plate" eating plan is a simple way to eat proper portions of
nutritious foods without counting calories or eliminating
favorites. This motivational, practical book looks
slick--full-color on glossy paper--and is a workbook for
getting started.
Cruise's style is
chatty and personal, with anecdotes and photos of people who
lost 30 to 75 pounds and are happy with their bodies.
Recommended for
people willing to change their attitudes as well as their
weight. --Joan Price
