READ AN EXCERPT:
"The Ultimate New York Diet grew out of the successful feedback and informative e-mails I received from graduates of The Ultimate New York Body Plan. Soon after the book was published, I realized that in order to maintain their impressive results, readers needed a follow-up manual, one that helped them apply the principles of the Body Plan for life. Thus the Diet Plan was born.
The Diet Plan picks up where the Body Plan ends, with some overlap. In addition to a two-week meal plan that teaches you to abide by my A, B, C, D, E, and F of nutrition, you also will find six more weeks of meals that help you learn how to maintain your results for a lifetime. These subsequent weeks will show you how to work some carbs and other A, B, C, D, E, and Fs (see Chapter 2) back into your life, without going overboard.
The Diet Plan's comprehensive eight-week Eating Plan is broken down into three phases and takes you from the initial (and exteme) two weeks of nutrtion to phase 2 where you are allowed a little more healthy carbohydrate latitude, to phase 3, one that includes weekly cheat meals, among other things. It is in these two latter phases of the plan that you "start living your life" incorporating the lessons learned during the initial two weeks and applying them to your everyday life. The cookies look and smell good, but are they really worth it? My hope is that , after reading this book, the cookies won't smell as good as they did before, but if they every now and again do, you will have the knowledge and confidence to enjoy the cookies and get right back on the plan.
Throughout the pages of this book, you'll find the practical "how-tos" to deal with challenges that we all face from time to time, including these:
- Living in a "to-go" society
- Finding the time for a "real" workout
- Following the plan in all types of restaurants, from fast food to fine dining
- Surviving the holidays, including cocktails, pigs in blankets, and everything in between
- "Getting back on the horse" when you have strayed
- Incorporating all of these principles and making a lifelong commitment to wellness for you and your family
As the creator of No Excuse training, it was imperative for me to answer the often-asked question, "What do I do if I don't have time to work out 90 minutes per day as prescribed in The Ultimate New York Body Plan?" The creation of David's Express Workout Plan is another unique feature of this book, which addresses this very common dilemma. It is great to think we all have 90 minutes a day to work out, but I know that we all have days when a set of push-ups is barely manageable. Using my specially formulated workouts like a doctor's prescription -- doing them several times per day through out the day -- you can work out and see effective results even if you only have 10 minutes to spare. The routines are broken down into body parts -- often combining things like butt, thighs and hip or an overall cardiosculpting minisession -- just enough to get the heart pumping and the muscles softly singing as you sumo lunge, plie squat, and crab race your way to a new you! Obviously, the more effort you put into the program, the more impressive the results will be." |
