Product Description
The world-renowned fitness coach on the hit TV show The Biggest Loser presents his winning approach to lasting weight loss by showing how to get at the root of your overeating problem, followed by a nutritionally savvy diet and unique exercise plan.
On The Biggest Loser, Bob Harper gives contestants the practical tools and psychological insights they need to get into the best shape of their lives. The key to his success is the emotional connection he makes with each participant, and he brings that same spirit to Are You Ready!
Harper starts with a four-step strategy for getting at the root of negative thought patterns and destructive behaviors, replacing both with a clear way to build self-worth and confidence. With these tools in place, people are empowered to make real, lasting changes in their lives. In an easy-to-follow eating plan, he provides lists of foods that are nutrient-dense and naturally low in calories, more than twenty sample menus, and tips on eating on the run, in restaurants, and on vacation. His fitness plan is geared to making exercise an integral part of daily life with workouts (ranging from 20 to 60 minutes) based on training techniques that tone and strengthen, burn calories, and reshape the body.
Woven throughout Are You Ready! are true-life success stories that will keep readers engaged and motivated; bulleted tips, tools, and coping strategies; and sidebars debunking common myths about food and fitness. Whether your goal is losing ten pounds or a hundred, you will find Harper’s message inspiring and his methods a proven path to finally achieving your dream of weight loss and fitness.

 Bob Harper's ARE YOU READY? June 30, 2008
This is a fabulous book reflecting on our inner selves thats so important in weight loss. Once you get to the root of the problem, it's all gravy from there!
 Great Motivational Advice From America's Favorite TV Trainer! June 30, 2008
Who doesn't like Bob Harper from the hit NBC-TV weight loss reality show "The Biggest Loser?" That man has shown himself time and time again to have a heart of gold for average, everyday people who just need a little guidance to take off the weight they spent a lifetime putting on. When I interviewed Bob Harper nearly three years ago, he ended it by saying "You want to change, you need to change....let's get started. There is a whole life out there waiting for you.....GRAB IT!!!" With this new book, Bob continues that theme by asking "are you ready" to make those changes happen? If so, then he's ready to get you into shape like he does those contestants on television. First, he examines how and why you got to be overweight or obese in the first place and seeks to correct those issues before any diet or exercise is even introduced. Second, you get a low-calorie and lower-carb nutritional plan to follow designed to help you start shedding the pounds. Finally, Bob himself shows you in pictures the kind of exercises you can and should be doing to get your body into tip-top shape. If you ever wanted to know what "The Blue Team" has been through training under Bob Harper on "The Biggest Loser," then this is probably as close as you'll ever get to it!

I have read many weight loss books over the years and this one has to be the quickest easiest read. The book is meant as more than a diet but an entire change in how you approach your eating habits. He breaks the book down into parts - first looking at your life style and psychological readiness to begin to change followed by eating guide and then exercise. I personnally hate exercise so what I liked about his plan is it was reasonable and didn't set unrealistic expectations. It even brought in some yoga which I thought was great. My only negative comment, being a psychologist myself, the first part where he tries to explore your eating patterns etc...isn't strong enough - possibly adding some cognitive behavioral therapy tools (having an outside expert add to this section) or exercises on imaginery, cause and effect, etc...would have really made this section much better. Overall, I think he did a great job on putting together a book on lifestyle change.

I am a Biggest Loser fan. Have been since day one. So when I heard Bob Harper was writing a book I could hardly wait. Not sure what I expected but I was disappointed. I could feel his spirit and what he was trying to get across but I didn't get the feeling that this was the life style change for me.
Love this book!!! May 27, 2008

The book is very motivating, it is well written and quite understandable. We all know how to lose weight sometimes we just need a gentle nudge to do the right thing...Bob Harper is great with the nudge!
