8 Minutes in the morning by Jorge Cruise is one in an growing line of books produced by the personal trainer and self claimed fitness expert.
Jorge claims he has developed a fast way to “jump-start” your morning with just 8 minutes daily exercise.

Realistic Program or Just Hype?

By performing only eight mins of strength coaching and following a straightforward diet Jorge says you can shape up. In reality on the cover of his book he guarantees weight reduction in just four weeks. Not quite the same thing.

The problem is what is hard to know is if Jorge is for real as much of what he says in one place doesn’t quite ring true in another. I think he intends to be genuine but always there is always an underlying marketing message and the usually celebrity diet BS!

The rationale behind promoting “quick” and “easy” weight loss and fitness is to sell a product and their can be no doubt that Jorge Cruise can do that.

What concerns me is he always seems to use pictures of people in his promotions that look like they worked out for weeks and certainly didn’t get prefect bodies for 8 minutes of working out.

So subsequently the validity of such testamonials and pictures may be genuine but their relevance now that is whole different matter.

On the positives the illustrations used in the book are clear and the exercises easy to follow.

I don’t doubt this guy can train dedicated fitness fanatics fully versed in the various types of exercises. I just have less confidence in his ability to get his message over to 33 year old housewives looking to lose 40 pounds.

If his 8 Minutes in The Morning regimen works then surely every other one of his books will be surplus to requirements. It is this constant plethora of books that claim that weight loss is easy that really hack me off.

Normal average people find weight loss difficult and claiming you can get a perfect body in 8 minutes is just setting the average man and woman up for a fall, and disappointment which is wrong!

Though its easy to not exercise, its tough to come up with excuses when it’s only eight mins and that is whole rationale of the book. The only problem I had is it makes people believe in something that is probably never going to happen and certainly not in any short time frame as implied.

The first step that all overweight people have to take is to be honest with themselves. You need to accept the fact the road ahead will be difficult. If you have watched TV program like biggest loser you’ll have seen that for yourself.

If you lay the right foundation you can build the type of inner strength and mental toughness that you will need to persevere and succeed. Everyone loses weight, but few keep it off.

The marketing of programs such as ” 8 Minutes in the Morning” by Jorge Cruise are not realistic for the average person with a high body mass index and normal lives.

A more comprehensive plan is needed to change your behaviour, eating habits and exercise patterns.

The thought for the day I thought was interesting but certainly nothing new and it does seem that the book has been designed to encourage you to buy other Jorge Cruise products rather than help you lose weight.

For example the diet plan mentions you should by for example Flax Oil (conveniently available through Jorge’s company). But this stuff tastes foul and there is almost no possibility of anyone sustaining such punishment for any appreciable time to lose weight.

The nutritional information provided by Jorge is at best limited and probably worse suggestions such as eating banana’s for energy as the contain no fat is short sighted as he seems to ignore the fact of sugars.

I would have liked to have seen a more realistic approach to weight loss than featured in Jorge Cruise’s book but that doesn’t sell books.

You could get a copy of Jorge’s book it’s not that bad if your expectations are realistic but if you just want to start to lose a few pounds get the Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks Diet For FREE.

The Cleveland Hospital 3-Day Diet is a three-day program that claims to get rid of mucus and other poisons from the body.

It’s also claimed that dieters will lose as much as 10 pounds in 3 days. which is potentially very dangerous if not done under medical supervision.

This program has been given more names and is claimed to originated from so many sources it is not even funny.

It is claimed to have come from the British Heart Association, The American Heart Association, Cleveland Clinic all of which quite strenously deny being the source of it’s origin.

Other names include the 3-Day Diet, Dr Perricone 3-Day Diet, Kaiser 3-Day Diet, 3-Day Navy Diet, and 3-Day military Diet.

The essence of the plan is …

It is a plan that combines specific foods in order to create a desired reaction in your digestive system and boost your metabolism for calorie and fat burning. The plan must be followed precisely with exact portions of the 1000 calorie/day diet for the best “results.” The 3 Day Diet does not mention or recommend exercise.

As you might imagine.

The diet lasts for 3 days, then repeated after 2 days off the diet.

Different menus for this diet can be discovered at numerous web sites.
But one thing the menu’s all have in common is they are particular about the amounts and categories of foods that are going to be eaten for the 3 days.

There are 3 meals indicated for every day, and the total daily calorific intake on these diets is about six hundred calories. The food that characterize this diet include : hot dogs, vanilla ice cream, cabbage, and eggs.

The foodstuff selected for the diet are planned to increase the metabolism so that fat is burned faster. Dieters are directed to take at least 4 days off before repeating the 3-day cycle.

The Cleveland Hospital 3-Day Diet or what ever they want to call it is NOT healthy or in any way a sustainable plan for weight loss.

A lot of the weight reduction from it is due to severe decrease in carbohydrate intake, that means that dieters experience typically water loss. There’s also an extraordinary decrease in caloric intake which could be very detrimental to some people.

The Up’s and Down’s Of Dieting

Once the 3 days is over, regaining any lost pounds is going to be almost inevitably unavoidable. As a consequence, this kind of diet typically leads to yo-yo weight loses and gains.

It is just this sort of diet that leads to people believing diets are nver going to work and the majority of people would just give up hope and settle for being overweight.

This diet is about as “Fad” as a diet gets.I doubt anyone will keep the weight off long-term and you’ll doubtless feel a starving,irritable and generally unhappy the entire three days you are on it.

LIfe is just to short to waste your time and effort on such a pointless diet plan.

Final Thought’s

Websites promoting this sort of nonsense should be banned the FTC seems happy to enforce bans on products which are far less harmful than this product could be. I hope no one ever tries this diet as it is bad for your health and sanity.

The “6 Week Body Makeover” is the infomercial diet based primarily on the idea that everybody has a different natural body shape and metabolism. By tailoring a custom exercise and diet program to your constitution and blood type, your body will lose pounds at maximum potency. The 6 Week Body Makeover program starts with a questionaire, which can let you know which sort of metabolism you have. You then match your body form and size “Blueprint Cards” to discover your trouble spots. Six Week Body Refresh is meant to be “safe and easy” and incorporates step by step instructions and an eight hundred number to reply to your continuing questions.

This sounds reasonable enough to an unscientific person, but the actuality is that we are all not as different as we may think. Our individual fundamental metabolic activity ( metabolism ) are set by weight, age and activity and don’t change seriously between folks of the same traits.

This product was created with the market to mind, knowing what emotionally appeals to pissed off, fat folk. Lets be truthful, we all just about know why we are chunky : we eat too much unhealthy food and do not exercise enough. The “6 Week Body Makeover” is a costly ( six payments of $19.99 and $19.95 shipping ), gimmick-based program that essentially tells you to eat healthy and exercise.

If long term weight loss was this straight-forward, The “6 Week Body Makeover” would be a house-hold name and sold in conventional stores rather than obscure web sites and infomercials.
