Fitness trainer Jorge Cruise has helped 3 million cyberspace clients lose weight, and now he’s headed for your bookshelf with the same goal in mind. In just eight minutes a day, says Cruise, you can drop two pounds of fat per week, change your shape, and gain muscle and energy. His secret formula: an inspirational “wake-up talk,” followed by strength training two muscle groups per day, eating according to his “eating card” program, and keeping a journal. For exercise, Cruise presents a varied, 28-day program of illustrated exercises using dumbbells. Why the emphasis on strength training? While aerobics burns calories while you’re exercising, adding muscle revs up fat burning at rest by increasing your metabolic rate. Every pound of muscle you gain burns an extra 50 calories per day. You’ll look better and feel younger and more energetic, resulting in more activity, burning more calories, he says. Cruise’s eating plan emphasizes “good” (omega) fats, complex carbohydrates, high-quality protein (low in saturated fat), and vegetables, with dairy, fruits, and “treats and cravings” in moderation. His “Eating Card System” gives you an allotment of portions from each of the food groups. If you’re the kind who likes the regimentation of following a specific program every day, Cruise will get you moving, eating better, and losing weight. –Joan Price

This diet is a real come-on. Weight loss is way to slow on this program. I’d be discouraged from the get go! What happens if I just can’t get that 8 minutes in every day or even a percentage of the time? Give me the Fat Flush Plan any day over this wacko stuff. I need a life change weight loss plan that gives me results! I need to account for those foods I’m allergic to that are causing me to maintain fat and water weight. Fat Flush Plan doesn’t rely on some weird morning verbal ritual to repeat. Who’s to say that’s the right message for me? Choose your weight loss and health plan carefully. Check out the real qualifications behind the authors.

Just a warning - 8 minutes doesn’t count warm up, stretching, or the time it takes you to get up from the floor and situated to the next exercise (something that I find really annoying and ineffecient!).
I have not read Jeorge’s book. I got the routine from an excerpt in O! I don’t understand why he doesn’t pair exercises that are both on the floor or both standing - it’s such a pain getting up and down, up and down. Plus, I feel like you lose that whole idea of “no rest”. I’m sure I expend more calories to get up an down, but it’s all too easy to take a sip of water or just in repositioning yourself.
I have been following WW while I have been doing the 8m workout (more like 10-15 for me), and I have not lost one pound. I’ll keep doing it, because it’s probably better than nothing, but I’m not impressed so far (about 3 weeks).

Anthony Robbins is Good. I want to visit him in his castle on some day. Cruise is good too. I loved the part about the morning, and also I thought Cruise was good in Top Gun. It’s the best movie in the yorld.

Some good points, such as disciplined workouts and performing morning workouts, etc.,… but mostly outweighed by the bad points. Too simplistic exercises, simplistic exercise routines and strength training that is pretty much a joke.
Diet recommendations are the same old “touchy-feely” story (i.e., Dr. Weill-oriented) of “certain carbs are really good for you while some aren’t.” (Hint: grains aren’t! Not at all.)
While author makes saturated fats once again the “boogey-man” (without quoting any actual concrete clinical studies), he likewise praises Omega fats - and especially flaxseed oil - to high heaven. Strange that author leaves out this study: “Flaxseed oil is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid, which has been shown to be beneficial in both heart disease and breast cancer. According to Dr. Charles E. Myers Jr., however, a scientist at the University of Virginia Medical School in Charlottesville, available research suggests that alpha-linolenic acid may be dangerous for prostate cancer patients… We no longer recommend flaxseed oil to our male patients in the Diabetes Exercise Center and Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, however, because current medical opinion has related these supplements to prostate cancer.”
(…)
Even author’s hero, Dr. Weill, has “seen the light”…
(…)
The flaxseeds themselves are now “supposedly” okay, but not the oil (for men)???

QUOTE: One interesting way to study the role of fats and their affect on weight loss or gain is to look at the animal feed industry. If ever there was a group of people with economic interest in weight gain, it is the livestock industry. Back in the days when fat was “in,” the fatter the pig you could raise the better. Lard was a basic staple for cooking in the days of our forefathers. It was found that feeding pigs polyunsaturated fats (primarily soybean and corn oil) would put more fat on them. This is the reaction of the longer chain fatty acids found in vegetable oils, and is well documented in the scientific literature. Today, however, we’ve come full circle with our new low-fat mantra, and the consumer demand is now for low-fat meats. So how does one produce a leaner pork?
Well according the Department of Animal Science of North Carolina State University, during the “finishing time” before slaughter, you stop feeding them polyunsaturated oils and start feeding them saturated fats.[3] They used beef tallow in their experiment, which they found was a bit hard for the pigs to digest. So some farmers are now actually starting to use coconut oil, a plant-based saturated fat, instead. So what are the fats found on the shelves of grocery stores today, that make up the majority of the U.S. diet? Polyunsaturated fats: mostly soybean oil, which commonly is referred to as vegetable oil. These are the same fats that have been known to fatten livestock in the animal feed business. The saturated fats, which made up most of the fats in the diet of our forefathers, have been almost banned by modern nutrition advice. The result: Lean pigs and obese people. END QUOTE
