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

This book DID NOT work for me. I had 10 pounds to lose and by the end of 30 days, I had not lost weight or inches. And no, I did not cheat on my eating. I personally didn’t think that this is the book for someone who has always worked out and had 10 pounds or less to lose.

I have 25 pounds to lose so I bought this book. I’m insulted that Jorge used such ridiculously simple exercises. We are not invalids for cripe sake! A book has to be pretty bad for me to write a bad review. This is one of them.
One of his “exercises” is standing there holding your arms out to the side. wow. how stupid is that? Hey Jorge did you ever think of exercise bands for beginners? duh. We can do that the only problem we have is the contorted postions sometimes expected by trainers, for example, Billy Blanks and his bootcamp dvd basic training warm up. Another stupid exercise by Jorge is lying on the floor and holding up a leg..wow.
I returned the book and I won’t be buying anymore by Jorge Cruise.

I read the reviews carefully and ordered the book. What a disappointment. I am returning it today even though I have to pay the shipping. This is a book full of hype about the author, his picture on page after page, words of how wonderful he is–get real, try Dr. Phil’s Ultimate Diet - much much better and realistic. Don’t buy this book unless you want to spend money on slick pages with Jorge’s picture on most of them.

even if you are under a time constraint, if you have beem exercising for a while this book will do nothing for you. I must admit I haven’t even tried the book exercises in the book even once, but I knew that doing the exercises in the book, would not make me feel as though I’ve exercised. If you don’t have time to exercise, but you do exercise regularly, and want to get your heart rate up, get the 8 minute tae bo workout.
For obese people, or someone who likes to stretch and take it really easy, this book is for you. But its more to do with eating, that actual exercising.

I found this book to be so simplistic in the exercise department that it was almost insulting. They were not nearly challenging enough and so it made it easy to only do them for 8 minutes because if you had to do them any longer you might fall back asleep from the boredom. The eating plan is sensible and lacked the necessity for calorie counting which was nice. But yet again, he over simplified as if saying,”Well, since you need to lose so much weight that means that you obviously know nothing about nutrition so here’s enough to get you by.” Overall, I think there has got be a dozen other books out there that are better for your body and based on what really works for gaining a healthier body than this thing. In other words, keep shopping.
