According to Jim Karas—the man who has helped countless people lose weight and literally reshape their lives—it’s none of the above! Nor is it your gender, your age, or any other reason you may have considered. The answer, says Jim, is that you still haven’t mentally “flipped the switch”—that is, reached the point where the desire to lose weight ?nally becomes more important than the desire to overeat and avoid exercise. The biggest hurdle you will ever face in losing weight isn’t sticking to a diet or going to the gym every day. It’s simply this: getting started.
Now the creator of the number one New York Times bestselling book The Business Plan for the Body arms you with the tools that will help you turn your desire for weight loss into reality. Flip the Switch will show you how to:
• Blast through the excuses with a series of revealing self-tests that help you confront, understand, and ultimately overcome your issues of denial
• Slim down with a detailed set of eating guidelines, including a seven-day jump-start diet plan with menus and shopping lists
• Hack through the nonsense (“Only strenuous aerobics will slim me down”) and negative mental graffiti (“I hate my body”; “I’ll never lose weight”) that are holding you back
• Firm up with three quick and simple exercise routines
Jim’s eating and exercise recommendations are realistic and satisfying, especially when you begin to see the results! If you haven’t flipped the switch, then you haven’t taken the most essential step toward weight loss. Let JimKaras’s Flip the Switch show you how to change your life—today.
This book is full of explanations about why you haven't decided to be serious about losing weight. It documents the excuses we all seem to cling to, and it gives some practical advice on how to overcome the excuses and get busy. I was disappointed that "flipping the switch" was in my mind. I was hoping for more of a metabolic "switch" that I could flip after reading the book, to get past a plateau in my weight loss goal.
I do think this book would be good for someone who is just starting to think about taking their weight problem seriously and who has no idea how to eat healthy. There is a 7 day "jump start" menu that I think you could probably follow for several weeks and lose weight with balanced meals.
