Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are struggling to lose weight this book takes a very interesting approach. The authors are twins and they use themselves as human guinea pigs to show the reader what difference their recommendations will make on the human body. From a scientific perspective I found this approach to be fascinating.
The book is subdivided as follows:
1.Get Ready, Get Set, Get Fired Up
2.Mixing Nutrients to Maximize Metabolism
3.Choosing Carbohydrates Carefully
4.Power Proteins versus Problem Proteins
5.Favoring Fabulous Fats
6.Banishing Breakfast, Beware
7.Missing Meals: Misdemeanor or Manslaughter
8.Where there is a Will there is Water
9.Sleep Satiated versus Sleep Starved
10.Fidgeting, Frolicking and Keeping Fit
11.Muscles Make Magic
12.Sample Daily Menus
The authors provide sound nutritional and exercise advice for those that are motivated to get themselves into better shape. I do not find the authors advice to be overly difficult to follow, but I might be in the minority. I recently switched to a mostly vegan lifestyle for health reasons. It is amazing what all of us can do or accomplish when we are properly motivated.
I have summarized my observations regarding the books content below.
Pros:
1.Sound recommendations that all of us have read before backed up by personal experience
2.Easy to read and understand
3.Detail adequate for the general audience
4.Provides exercises for both the home and the gym
5.Specific recommendations in terms of food consumption
6.Target Heart rate given for optimum exercise efficiency
Cons:
1.I would have liked to see pictures or drawing for the exercises so that people knew that they were performing the exercises correctly.
2.I would also have liked to see a summary of their recommendations
3.Cutesy chapter titles are annoying
Overall, I feel the authors did a credible job covering the topic of health from a nutrition and exercise standpoint. If you are ready to make some changes to your life, and are looking for a kick to get you started this might just be the book for you.

"I can't loose weight because I have a terrible metabolism" You may not realize it, but you can take control of your metabolism. Identical twins and registered dietitians, Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames embarked on a twin study to determine precisely what does -- and doesn't -- increase the rate at which our bodies burn calories and fat. Their findings? Small changes have big results. The nine weight-loss principles -- and the 200 tips that help you incorporate them into your lifestyle -- in Fire Up Your Metabolism are surprisingly simple: Eat breakfast before you get to work. Learn which sugary snacks trump others (peanut M&Ms boost metabolism, but Twizzlers don't). Drink water, which is essential to burning calories. Always eat dinner, even if it's late. Focus on muscle building, not cardiovascular workouts. With Fire Up Your Metabolism, you won't have to avoid restaurants or follow a diet (though one is included if you like regimentation). The fatigue and distracting hunger that derail most dieters won't affect you because revving your metabolism is all about eating. You will enjoy breads and other carbohydrates. You will boost your metabolism with power proteins, including hamburgers, and avoid other proteins that bog you down. You will indulge in snacks you thought a dieter could never touch. Lyssie and Tammy's clients have experienced not only dramatic weight loss but also the thrill of having more energy than ever before. Now you, too, can rewire your metabolism to lose weight fast and forever.
