Fitness Friday: "This Is Why You're Fat (and how to get thin forever)" by Jackie Warner

>
Giveaway closed.
Congratulations Katie :o) , Kia, and Ardy22!


Jackie Warner is a fitness expert, gym owner, television star and entrepreneur and author of New York Times best seller, "This is Why You're Fat".   For more on Jackie go to http://www.jackiewarner.com/

"Being fat isn't your fault; staying fat is." That's what Jackie Warner, America's favorite no-nonsense celebrity fitness trainer tells her own clients, and that's why no one delivers better results than Jackie does. Now for the first time, Jackie shares her revolutionary program, showing readers the best ways to drop pounds and inches fast, without grueling workouts or deprivation, and keep them off for good! Her two-tiered approach provides a complete nutritional makeover and a failure-proof condensed workout routine PLUS all the emotional support and encouragement you need to get to the finish line and beyond.






You can check out this interview on Foxnews.com where Jackie Warner answers questions like this one:  

It’s so tough to start a diet and fitness routine. How do you suggest people begin?


The first thing you need to do is sit down, have a conversation with yourself, figure out what all of your can’t-resist foods are and throw them all away. That’s what I do. We’re a gluttonous society. If cookies are our weakness, we’re not going to eat two cookies and stop. We’re going to eat until the bag is gone.

So get rid of your can’t-resist foods because it’s much harder in the middle of the night to get dressed, get in your car and go out and buy a bag of cookies than it is to go in your cupboard and get a bag. If you have to leave your house to cheat, you’re not going to do it. It requires too much effort.

    I follow your blog. I would love to win this because I want a fail-proof plan. I don't have time to deal with finding a plan that is a perfect fit for my personality. I just want one that works. Jackie Warner is no nonsense & clearly--by one look at her physique--she knows what she is talking about.
