From the Inside Flap

No matter how old you are, no matter how bad you might think your genetics are, and no matter how lost you might feel after trying and abandoning past diets and workout programs . . .

. . . you absolutely, positively can have the lean, toned, and strong body you dream about.

What if I gave you a science-based, doctor-approved formula of eating and exercising that makes melting 10 to 15 pounds of stubborn fat and adding lean muscle in all the right places a breeze . . .

. . . and what if it produced dramatic results in the mirror in just the first 30 days?

What if you didn't have to starve yourself, put in long hours at the gym, or do grueling cardio workouts that turn your stomach?

What if you could still indulge in the "bad" foods that you love, like pasta, pizza, and ice cream?

And what if I promised to be at your side the entire way, helping you discover what you're truly capable of, helping you overcome obstacles and setbacks and avoid pitfalls, doing everything I can to see you achieve your fitness goals quickly and painlessly?

Imagine, just 12 weeks from now, waking up every morning, looking in the mirror, and feeling downright excited by your reflection.

Imagine being constantly complimented on how you look and having dawn-till-dusk energy to do all the things you want to do.

And imagine wearing the clothes you really want to wear and taking them off with pride

You can have all these things, and it's not nearly as difficult or complicated as you probably think.

It doesn't matter whether you're 21 or 41 or whether you're in shape or not. No matter who you are, I can prove that you have the power to transform your body and life.

Just ask the thousands of women whose lives have been changed by my work. They accepted my help, and now they look and feel better than ever before. They are the proof that this book can help you look and feel your best, too.

So, would you like my help?

If you answered "Yes!" then you've taken a leap, not a step, toward the new you--the fitter, leaner, stronger, and happier you who loves his body, inside and out.

Your journey begins as soon as you order your copy of this book.
