Although I never needed to lose more than 10 pounds weight in my life, I’ve always loved to observe, watch, read about how other people transform themselves, find strength to face that they need to change and become healthier, leaner and better. Chris Powell is one of my favorite life, fitness coaches, I’m inspired by his work and eagerness to help others. So imagine, how happy I was when I randomly saw his book “Choose to Lose: The 7-Day Carb Cycle Solution” in my local bookstore.
Finally, there is a person -Chris Powell, who does not says you need to eat only protein , or go on paleo, vegan or other extreme diets to lose weight that might seem especially overwhelming for those, who just started transforming their habits, and becoming conscious about their nutrition.
I think, Chris’s advice to go high and low carb, meaning one day you eat high amount of carbs, and another day you eat high carb breakfast, and the rest of the meals are high in protein but very low in carbs. He also suggests to do workouts on “low-carb days”. This totally makes sense: you won’t get into plateau because of the variety in the eating habits. Plus, eating high carb breakfast on “low protein” days will give you enough energy to start the day, but then you will be using glycogen and fat storage to push through the workouts.
The book also contains exercise pictures, sample menus, tips how to measure the amount of food YOU need to consume. And overall everything is explained clearly and in easy to follow way. Great buy!
