 Good book in spite of its title April 30, 2010

Reason I bought the book: the belief that "something" isn't quite right with my metabolism, and this book seemed to promise information over and above the usual gimmick diet books.
What I didn't know: I had never watched "Biggest Looser" and didn't know Ms. Michaels. Because of that, I found the tone of the book not to my liking. If you follow the show and are familiar with the approach and language, you'll not find anything wrong with it (would be my guess)
Positives: the book is jam-packed with information that is not easy to find all in one place. It walks you through the steps of removing all unwanted products from your life. It is not just a "clean-eating" book, but looks at the poisonous junk in other areas of our lives. Some of it is downright scary. If you're new to all this, I highly recommend this book. Others who already practice a healthy lifestyle, may still find new information here.
Negatives: if I had Ms. Michael's income, I'd be buying organic foods and other non-toxic products at fancy stores, too. But I don't, and I find a lot of suggestions unrealistic, because they are so unaffordable. Secondly, once I realized who Ms. Michaels is, I did a bit of research into her other enterprises, and found her to be marketing completely useless diet products (fat burners, calorie control and the like) - Jillian, if a great body came in a bottle, we wouldn't need to diet and exercise and follow the bigges loosers on tv. So as far as I'm concerned, her credibility takes a big slide because of this. If she sells us big hopes in the form of pills that unlikely work (see customer reviews), what else does she sell for the sake of making more money?
In conclusion: I found the book informative enough to give it 4 stars; all else I mentioned are personal comments.
 Excellent resource!!! February 12, 2010

I loved this book. The information and recommendations are not overwhelming and they are things that can be done in stages or steps. I enjoy being able to continue to go back and review things and the tables make this even easier. I plan on ordering the rest of the books in the Master you Metabolism series that are coming soon.
THE information you need! September 7, 2009

Very, very informative. Almost to the point where it is to much info. Diet seems easy enough to follow for life unlike most diets out there. Really felt like Jillian Michaels cares about your wellbeing and the world that surrounds us.
Good and informative. July 30, 2009

Because I am a big fan of GM, I decided to give this book a whirl. Bascially, it's about getting your hormones--which may or may not be causing you to gain weight--under control. There is a systematic plan for this and she tells you exactly what to do. The only trouble might be is the actually following of the plan. While I wouldn't say it's overly complicated, it does require much diligence. However, having said that, I would say this is a top notch plan for those who want help in this area--with dieting and hormone balance. I also liked and would recommend Goodbye, Fatty! Hello, Skinny! How I Lost Weight and Still Ate the Foods I Loved-Without Dieting.
