Amazon.com Review
Bill Phillips had been publishing bodybuilding magazines and marketing nutritional supplements for years when he had a weird revelation at a trade show: many of the most loyal and enthusiastic readers he had were totally out of shape. From that uncomfortable realization came his popular Physique Transformation Contest (top prize that first year: Phillips's own Lamborghini), now world famous, and this book. The three-times-a-week weightlifting program in Body for Life is deceptively simple. If you've spent any time in the gym, you've already done all the exercises. But Phillips includes a couple of high-intensity sets at the end of each exercise that should compound the training effect on each muscle group. Same goes for the cardiovascular exercise he recommends: just 20 minutes, three times a week. But those 20 minutes are spent jacking the intensity up and down, accomplishing more in less time. Phillips arranges all this into a 12-week program, along with nutritional and motivational tips. Be warned that the nutritional advice gets a little spacey. For example, he puts "carbohydrates" and "vegetables" into separate categories, and recommends three daily doses of a nutritional supplement called Myoplex, which his company manufactures. (Fortunately, he gives tips on how to make each dose taste different, such as by adding drops of peppermint extract.) Despite this strangeness, Body for Life still motivates because so many others have achieved astounding results in similar 12-week windows, and the pictures and testimonials are here as evidence. --Lou Schuler

 It works November 21, 2009
Romans828 (Warren, MI)
I saw a "blurb" about this program on the internet, and it piqued my interest. Always looking for a healthy way to lose and maintain my weight, I thought I would look further into it. Rented a book from the library, "Body for Life Champions" and that really got me interested. I decided to start working the program, without signing up for the challenge (challenges are done at different intervals throughout the year and if I wanted to enter, I would have had to wait until Feb). After working the program for about 2 weeks, I decided I would buy the book "Body for Life". I have been working the program now for about 6 weeks, and though I am not anal about following the eating pattern to a "t", I have been making great headway. Reading this book over and over has kept me motivated and moving. Not only does my body look better, I am full of energy and never feel like I'm missing out on eating (other diets I was always hungry). If there is anything I want during the week, I just say to myself, "I'll have it on my free day." By the time the free day comes along, I've forgotten or the "want" has passed. I would strongly suggest that anybody who is doing the yo-yo diet thing, try this program. It works if you stick with it!
Builds Mental and Physical Strength. Requires Financial Strength. November 7, 2009

Great information. Written well. Very good logical help for getting fit, but requires home gym or gym membership. He also recommends that you buy his products for best results, which can get a little pricey. Overall much better than most fitness concepts. Recommend it.

The book came in at a great time and was in the condition that was mentioned when I bought it.

This book has a lot of great information on how to follow his 12 week plan, including diets, and excersises. Personally, I would have rather just bought the Eating for Life Recipe Book that he has instead of purchasing both. The Receipe book is GREAT and has a million great receipes, as well as explaining his Heath Plan.
I do my own excersies, so I just felt this book wasn't worth purchasing for me personally. All in all though, it's a great read-and worth purchasing if you want the complete package.

i am a 5'10" female. i weighed 271 after i gave birth to my third child at the age of 25. i could tell i was gaining more weight because my pants were getting too tight. i just wouldn't weigh myself and accept the fact i was getting bigger.
to make a long story short i went from 271 to 132. 70lbs. lost in the 12 week period. oh, the best part of this is i started in 2000 and now in 2009 i weigh between 132 to 135.
thank you Bill Phillips.
