Best book ever for helping keeping you healthy and trim. I’ve been doing Body For Life since the 90’s. It’s so good and doable !

Great book. Simple enough program to follow, nothing fancy. Don't even have to go to the gym. All I use is some free weights, a yoga ball, and a yoga mat. You see results farely quickly if you are following it correctly. My body felt great while I was following the program. I would suggest it to anyone who wants a simple program that doesnt take much time out of your day.

I have owned a fitness facility for 7 years. I recommend this book to all of my clients who don't know where to start and can't afford a personal trainer. It's encouraging and at the same time informative providing a great out line for a healthy lifestyle. Several years ago I recommended the older version of this book to one of my clients. She actually decided to do the challenge and is in this book as a champion garnering her a $20,000 prize.

This is my "go to" book when I need a kick in the butt with my diet. My sister lost a lot of weight using BFL, so I thought I would give it a shot and it does work. I have been pretty good keeping up with the exercise daily. But the diet is a little hard for me. I think this book explains the ins and outs of the BFL diet without any advertising like the first book.

Bad seller, book had mold due to water damage. Had to throw away.Book, however, has great eating and exercise plan that works, I had this books years ago and wanted it again.

I love Body for Life- the program , the original book, Eating for Life, the Muscle Media articles about the winners. I can never get enough of the success stories so I was so excited to see this book come out. But right off the bat I was disappointed. What was so amazing in the original was the photos! In this book, the pictures are so small for the most part and the quality of most of them are like bad black and white photo copies. If you've ever had to make a copy of your driver's license you get the picture. You can hardly make out the people. What's that all about? Did no one look at a proof before it went to print?I missed Bill Phillip's style and felt like someone was riding his coat tails, trying to re create another hit by paraphrasing the original. The input from the champions was the only reason to buy the book, and I felt they kind of glossed over that. I was expecting much more information. As mentioned in a previous review, most of what is in the book is online.As far as following people through the program, I would have liked to have followed a woman through the program instead of a teenager that actually looked pretty good to begin with. Not knocking her hard work but I personally would have been more inspired by someone who had more of a challenge.It could have been done so much better. You can tell the personal passion for a great book was missing. It just left me wanting more. I pulled out the original and re read it and was not disappointed.I'm giving it three stars only for the true champions whose stories are portrayed and mildly highlighted. I still would like to hear more of your stories. You all deserve so much more than what this book delivered!

I bought a used copy and was glad I did. It had a couple recipes in it that I hadn't seen online and that was worth it's weight in gold.
