Liv Tyler Books

If you are really determined, disciplined, focused and motivated you will be able to loose 3 - 5 kgs in 2 weeks. I have been through a lot of diets and this one is by far the most effective and healthy. Although its for 2 weeks I did it for 4 weeks and lost 5kgs. No kidding! And remarkably it stays that way. Of course you can go on eating like a pig after but that's the beauty of this diet, you wouldn't want to. Combining with heart pounding sometimes torture routine and good food plan, its the way to go for ultimate weight lost. You will feel totally changed. You will feel your stamina improve, yoru complexion better and your muscles starting to develop. Most importantly your body mass will drop. Excellent way to loose weight on a long term basis.

I've been on the low carb lifestyle diet for years now (lost about 70 pounds total and kept it off for 8 years now!) and was eager to learn about this low carb program which combined diet and exercise. I've been doing various exercise programs at my town and work gyms but was looking for something I could do at home when I couldn't get to the gym. I'm happy to say that this exercise program is great! I don't follow the exercise or diet program strictly: I do eat egg yolks and don't use whey protein shakes (they're tasty but the whey protein (and dairy) makes my skin break out). Also, I don't exercise as much and as often as recommended in the book, but I am pretty strict about restricting my carbs and exercising using both the DVD and cardio on most days. While my weight hasn't really changed after 3 weeks, I have noticed my measurements have gotten smaller and I am getting more toned even though I "seriously cheated" on my diet several times. This is the first time that I've used a stability ball and a medicine ball and I love working out with them! I'm not able to do the "boy" pushups yet, but am hopeful! I think the DVD exercises are great. The only suggestion would be to have the warm-ups as a separate menu choice. (Right now they're part of the cardio-whole body workout.) He doesn't go too fast or too slow in the DVD - seems just right after getting familiar with the exercises. And I feel WONDERFUL when I'm done - ready to start the day with lots of energy! I'd recommend this diet and exercise program to anyone. I really am a believer in the low carb lifestyle/cardio and strength training exercises! I have lots of energy and I don't drink diet sodas, alcohol, caffeine, tea or juices - only water. I'm not planning on introducing many carbs into my diet over time - maybe some healthy carb vegetables and lower carb fruits so I'm going to stay pretty strict, but may do his later phase cheat meal once a week. One thing I like to cook with is ground chicken (he likes ground turkey) (making a beanless chili with low carb vegetables and canned tomatoes) and I like tofu (which David doesn't like much) and I also came up with using canned pumpkin with cinnamon too, sometimes mixing it with firm tofu. Another treat I've added is that I also sometimes mix cocoa powder with cold water for a chocolate treat. He recommends almonds, which I LOVE, but they're a trigger food for me and are hard to stop eating, so I try to eat them only on rare occasions. Dairy is also a trigger food for me, so I probably won't introduce it either except for an occasional cheat meal. I like the concept of a cheat meal once per week in the later phase; it helps to prevent boredom and should help prevent binging/going off the diet completely. I really like the way he used the ABCDEF term for the initial phase- avoiding alcohol, bread, caffeine, dairy, extra fats and fruit - easy to remember and keep in mind. So while I really, really like his diet plan, I have modified it slightly to fit my lifestyle/body better. This is NOT an easy diet/exercise program, but it is very effective! I'm a LOW CARB and exercise fanatic! In short: I highly recommend this book, his program and the DVD!!! Thank you so much, David!

I would be more than happy to write a review of this book if I had ever received it from Amazon.com, but my parcel that was supposed to arrive before Christmas, never arrived, so I now purchase my books elsewhere.

I just want to let everyone know that this plan really works...I promise!! I am not saying it is easy, especially since I like a glass of red wine with dinner every night, but it does work and I didn't even do the exercises every day like I should have. Just detoxing my body of the fat and the sugar made a HUGE difference. I am 5'8 and weighed 153 pounds when I started this plan, and after 2 weeks of following the recipes I was down to 139 pounds...amazing!! I can never stick to diets, but I told myself I could stick to this for 14 days and I did. I then started adding back in the cheat foods to my diet, and 9 months later I am still at 140 pounds. I have never written a review on a website before, but I wanted everyone out there to know that this book is amazing, and even if you can't stick with the exercises every day, just changing the way you eat will cause a dramatic change in your body!!

I have tried a lot of different exercise DVDs and books. I do like the exercises in this book. They are simple, and only require 3-5lb weights, a stability ball, and a medicine ball(5-7lb). The exercises don't take up much space, which makes this a great dvd to use in the living room or an apartment. The exercises burn a lot of calories which definitely yields results.

Now, on another hand, I was dissapointed with the diet plan provided in this book. The calories seem very low and this would make the plan hard to keep up for a male, or even some females. I suggest pairing this book with a sensible diet, and using some of the recipes David provides in the book. Just to let you know, this is a lower carb diet. I suggest going for healthy carbs like brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, and vegetables. If you combine healthy carbs with the protein recommendations David provides in this book, you will see results.
