4 Stars Got for my wife.. she loves it
Got this video for my wife (yes, I am that guy, but she keeps telling me she wants to get in shape since we just had our first child). Anyways, after her first go with the video, she was in some serious pain, which essentially means it works good. She was very psyched and was looking forward to round 2. So thumbs up from me.

5 Stars Good start although is at an intermediate level…..
I got this video for my wife who gave birth recently. Since she was pregnant she is complaining about being fat so I was happy to find this DVD.

The exercise intervals are 1 minute long and come in 2 types: low impact and high impact. Although if you didn’t worked out recently or after surgery/pregnancy might be dificult to get into it, sticking to the low impact version and making some modification as another reviewer noted will help you through it.

Since we are taking it easy, I cannot comment on the number of days to see the result but I will re-write the review after we get a better idea.

For this price, the DVD is a steal !!!

4 Stars Jumpstart Your Fitness Routine
The Dvd comes with two 30 minute workouts, one for your upper body and one for your lower. The workout principle features interval training that switches back and forth from cardio exercises to muscle training with hand weights. Interval training is suppose to provide you with the most results in the least amount of time. It is recommended that you alternate between the lower body and upper body so that you can workout everyday while still giving your muscles a rest.

The Dvd comes with a booklet that includes some nutritional advice and a 10-day meal plan that provides 1200-1300 calories a day. The video advertises that you can lose up to 8 pds in 10 days and that is possible if you follow the workout routine and the low-calorie meal plan.

I enjoyed the video itself. It features trainer Cindy Whitmarsh, she performs the exercises alone so it doesn’t get distracting with lots of people on stage. She is easy to follow and her voice is not annoying like some can be.

3 -10 pd hand weights are recommended for the workouts, which I really enjoy using weights.

The best thing that I enjoyed was that the workouts were easy to follow and not too complicated.

Recommend for anyone who wants to get a jump start on their fitness routine but I do recommend doing your own stretching and warm-up before doing the video. The fitness routines in the video have a very short warm-up that was more like regular exercise than warm-up to me.

4 Stars I want this woman’s abs, did it for 10 days, not sure if the bods better, but I like it
The instructor has awesome abs. But let’s move past that, she’s good, clear directions good energy,not annoying. The video has an intro and is divide into an upper body and ower body workout. The segments use weights and aerobic-cardio activity. Each segment is a little over 30 minutes. You can do both segments together, or you can alternate days, alternating days is probable the best option.

You will need two sets of weights a light set 3 or 5 pounds and a heavier set 8 or 10.

I like the upper body workout, I hate working out my legs. The notes from the instructor and the notes from the nutritionist in the insert booklet encourage you to do another form of cardio as well – like walking. The booklet has a 10 day meal plan with a 1200 to 1300 calorie diet, for men add an additional 300 calories. The calorie menus give you a good idea of what you should be eating, I did not go that low on the calories, but I followed the workout program for 10 days, I enjoyed the video, I don’t know if my body is better or not, but my self confidence is good and I like the video and so I will use them again.

5 Stars Results 10 days better body
Easy to follow and it is a great work-out. Each 35 minute session leaves you glowing.

The 4 Day Diet

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great book, but I am still left with questions…
I purchased The 4 Day Diet from a local book store, and within 1 day I had already read 50 pages. The book is definitely an “easy read”. While reading through the book, I found a handful of minor publishing errors which led me to question the quality of information Dr. Ian Smith provided (specifically: the low glycemic index chart, cups for 1 serving of blueberries, goal setting). It bothered me so much that I contacted the publishing company, St. Martin’s Press (SMP), to make them aware of the errors. I was told that SMP is aware of the few errors in the book, and that the best bet would be to return the book where I purchased it at and wait until the corrected edition comes out. By this time I had already started the Induction Module of the diet. I did not return the book, and corrected the book errors in my own personal copy.

On the first day of Induction I felt awesome. When Day 2 came, I was beginning to feel like my food was limited. Needless to say, when Day 3 came, I was looking forward to my unlimited fruits on Day 4 that the whole Induction Module just flew by. I am now on Day 2 of the Transition Module and I feel GREAT! I feel confident that I will make it through the rest of the diet.

My few questions are:

1. When you finish all 28 days, do you start over with Induction or Transition? Or do you just maintain the diet by rotating the remaining 5 modules?

2. What modules do the recipes in the back of the book correlate with?

3. When a module calls for cooked vegetables or meats, can they be cooked or served with a little butter or oil?

Overall, I am pleased with the book. Also, if any of you reading this review know the answers to any of my questions, please reply to them in your review. Thanks, and Happy Dieting!

2 Stars Not for me, but maybe others
I personally would NOT buy this. It is

first of all NOT 4 days it is 7 units of 4 days

secondly, I found nothing new in the book ESPECIALLY if you are familiar with his other works

third I do like the man, he uses common sense but I’d buy one of his other books or The South Beach Diet and then moderate out to a weight watchers

mode. thats how I lost 11 lbs in 8 days and that’s how I work to keep a stable weight.6 years ago, but i now want to lose more and this is not

a way I find pleasant or easy, sorry.

Fourth, many who diet really can not or do not want to exercise all that much. This demands exercise

For the non exercise person, I recommend Get Fit in Bed,

it strenghthens your core in a relaxed , simple SAFE way…it was developed for ICU patients but it WORKS for healthy people and is addictive as it makes you feel good and after a few months you feel the difference in core strenghth.I have been doing these for at least 5 years and I have given this to my closest friends and family and told Chiripractors and MDs to recommend to patients.

Hope I helped you

4 Stars not a perfect book, but it works for me!
This book incorporates a diet plan that is filled with healthy food and a lot of exercise. The concept is pretty basic…eat healthy, nutritious food…exercise a lot…and you will lose weight fast. You really do lose weight fast too! I’ve lost about 12 pounds this first month, which I think is typical if you follow the plan well. The diet consists of natural “real” food like fruits and veggies, so if you don’t like that you may not do well on this diet. I do, so I haven’t had a problem with it.

Pros:

1. It does give variety. Sometimes you get to enjoy a soda, or a piece of pizza. Obviously, those aren’t the majority of the meals because you wouldn’t lose any weight that way but it keeps you from wanting to binge on food or break the meal plan.

2. You get enough food!! You will feel a little bit hungry but get real people! Your body is being deprived of the calories it needs to maintain weight so you are going to feel some hunger. If you can’t put up with that emotionally, you are not ready to lose weight in this way. I am mildly hypoglycemic so my body would def. let me know (esp. with all the exercise) if I wasn’t getting enough food. I am getting the healthy nutrition I need. If you feel that you need to supplement this diet, you can take a multivitamin.

3. The recipes in the last third of the book are very tasty, and easy to prepare.

4. It works! 12 pounds in 28 days and still going!

5. It devotes a part of the book to getting yourself ready emotionally, which is great! Emotions are the biggest factor when losing weight. I’m not sure if it got my head where it needed to be to tackle this issue, but it helped me concentrate on how to stay on the right track.

6. It is a plan that is both strict and not strict. It gives you guidelines for what you need to eat everyday, but you have choices on how to prepare it. For example, it will tell you to eat 6 oz of a lean meat (like fish or chicken), but you can cook it in any low fat way you desire as long as you don’t fry it or include the skin.

7. You can combine the foods in any way you want. While it tells you to eat one cup of rice, 2 servings of veggies, and 4 oz of chicken you can eat them separately or together as one meal. Sometimes, I’ll eat them separately to eat little meals often and other times, I’ll combine them to make tasty dishes like an Asian stir fry.

8. My goals are set in four days instead of 6 months, and that is A LOT easier to reach.

Cons:

1. The recipes in the back are confusing in that you are not sure how to incorporate them into the different modules. It would have been more helpful if each recipe included information on exactly what module that recipe would work for.

2. Portion sizes are smaller than my normal eating portions. I don’t have a problem with that as long as I spread the foods out over the course of the day so that I am never REALLY hungry.

3. You will need some extra help on basic guidelines on how to create healthy food, as the meal plans do not spell it out for you. You do have the recipes, but you may not always want to follow them. Another reviewer mentioned that they didn’t know where to find air popped popcorn. I am surprised that person does not know how to prepare air popped popcorn, but the book could have helped the reviewer on that if it had been more specific.

4. It relys on lots of exercise! You will need to devote a good amount of time to exercise. That was fine with me, as I was exercising already, but you will have to learn to love exercise.

You can do it guys! I say get the book and make a change!

1 Star 4 DAY DIET
THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS NOT TO EDUCATE THE EDUCATED BUT TO EDUCATATE A PERSON THAT KNOWS NEXT TO NOTHING.

4 Stars If you have read or participated in a weight loss proggram..
If you have participated in a safe and sane weight loss program or read a safe and sane weight loss book, you probably have 65% of the information provided in the audio CD.

What I liked about this audio CD is the intial focus on getting your mental self ready to lose weight. After personally losing over 50 pounds in a year and then trying to cheerlead my sisters and friends into losing “my’ way (which happened to be Weight Watchers and exercise) I have seen personnally that if a person is not mentally ready to lose, they won’t. You must “wrap” you mind around it first, which Dr. Ian focuses on with his book. Afterwhich, Dr. Ian does a good job with offering common sense and practical food choices and exercise options.

This is a good program to start with (although many nutritionist say we don’t need to detox, which Dr. Ian does in his program) if you need to lose weight and you want to do it safely.

3 Stars dance video
It goes a little too fast for me, I am a total beginner. It seems like once I get the hang of it the work out will be good.

4 Stars good dance workout
My husband loves this workout. It serves 2 purposes: 1 aerobic and 2 learning latin dance basic steps and rhythm.

5 Stars Fast shipping!!
I was very pleased with the arrival of my purchase! It was fast shipping and in great shape!

3 Stars Ok but not enough to make me feel like I got a full workout.
This DVD was ok it has a good variety. A few major problems are that if you don’t have any dance experience (I have NONE!) there isn’t much instruction, it never really speeds up enough to feel like I got a good work out and last it seems like everyone on the video is bored.

3 Stars not as good as expected
I have been fan of dancing with the stars, and really liked Cheryl. For me, the instruction was so-so, and the workout wasn’t all too fun and engaging. As far as my background goes, I am a musical/dancer-type who has taken some ballroom although I am by no means a professional. I love ballroom, and was expecting much more from this DVD. Overall, I did get a good core workout, but the instructors were not as enthusiastic as I would have liked. I purchased Fitness with the Pros as well as the DWTS original video. I hope those better meet my expectations. Guess I’ll have to find out!

3 Stars Nutrition Software Review
Product is very intuitive to use with convenient entry options. I find the graphs and reports helpful and informative. To use such a software product one has to be disciplined to actually keep track of what one eats. A great incentive for one to keep track of foods eaten and keep one on an eating plan. Great product!

5 Stars Great software, highly recommend it!
Great software. I especially like the registered dietitian pre-designed meal plans. It is simple to follow and it allows me to print a grocery list to take to the store. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a healthy way to a sensible diet.
