Product Description:
Don't just look in the mirror. Look good in the mirror. Behind that belly of yours, there's a lean, athletic, body waiting to be exposed. Maybe you've seen this body before, but allowed middle-aged spread or the Freshman 15 to cover it up. Maybe you've been fat all your life and have never seen the fabulous, muscular physique hiding behind the extra flesh. Trust us, it's there. We've got proof. 80,000 guys joined the Men's Health Belly-Off Club. These guys started off like you: tired all the time, unhappy about their bodies, assaulted by the diseases and indignities that come with being overweight. Each one of these guys found a new man beneath his belly. A man who can take off his shirt at the beach without embarrassment. A man who can play sports with his friends or goof around with his children without getting winded. A man women are attracted to. Most important, each guy found a man who will live a longer, happier, and more vital life. What Is the Belly-Off Program? * A unique, beginner-friendly WORKOUT PROGRAM designed for your body. Naturally big guys need weight training-- not aerobics-- to quickly build calorie-burning muscle.* A nutrition plan you can follow for life, not a diet you'll regret forever.* Foolproof ways to stick with the program and avoid the three reasons guys quit.

Very easy read. But nothing really new in the world of weight-loss. What I do like about this book, is that it gives dozens of real-life case studies of how ordinary people improved their fitness and lost unwanted weight. It gives a person a good idea that if someone else can do it, then "why not me?" Good motivator for those who are humming and hawing about getting slimmer and healthier. I also liked the wide variety of eating and exercise plans. Something for everyone.

this book presents many stories of men who were badly out of shape that were able to overcome obstacles to become fit and trim. Any man who wants to get into shape can derive great inspiration from these strong men who did it themselves.

The real value of this book is not so much the workout and diet program, but the sucess stories of several men who range in age from their early 20s to 40s and have lost a considerable amount of weight. What is unique about the book is that none of the men featured in it have followed the program in the book. This does work, however, because the message I got from those stories is that we can't just rely on this workout or that diet to lose weight and get in shape. Ultimately, we all have to figure out what makes sense to us and what works for us and fit it into our own lifestyle. There are some common threads that run through each sucess story and if you focus on those things, you can succeed no matter what approach you end up taking.
The diet and workout program presented in the book is based on some sound research and will probably work if you give it a try, but even if you don't follow the specific program in the book, it's still worth buying so you can learn from others who have successfully beaten their weight problems in their own way.
