About this ebook

Transform Your Body, Transform Your Life!

Each season, millions of viewers tune in to see Chris Powell lead extraordinary transformations on ABC's breakout hit reality-transformation show, Extreme Weight Loss. Now, building on the basic weight-loss philosophy introduced in his bestselling book Choose to Lose, Chris has created a transformation plan anyone can follow--one that recognizes that no weight-loss journey is the same, and that more options mean longer-lasting results.

At the center of Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life is Chris's carb-cycling plan, which kicks your metabolism into full gear by alternating between low- and high-carb days. Never carb-cycled before? No problem. Powell provides all the information you need to get started and see immediate results. Been carb-cycling but need to shake things up? This book provides four different cycles--Easy, Classic, Turbo, and Fit--to help you find a plan that fits you.

Chris also understands that weight loss plateaus when we get bored. So in this book, he focuses on choices--including more than twenty new workouts called Nine-Minute Missions--that pack maximum results into minimal time. He also offers more delicious and easy recipes to keep you eating well, more tracking logs to keep you motivated, and more success stories to inspire you as you write your own--one that lasts for the rest of your life!

"If you want results--if you want to lose that weight and transform your life ̄you need to stop thinking about it and get going! You hold in your hand the map to an incredible path to success, and I'll be right beside you 100 percent, cheering you all the way to your finish line. You're choosing to make a healthy change, and I'm choosing you. It's going to be a wonderful journey for both of us!"

Ratings and reviews

Love it! Suggest reading it for sure! Great information, even for the more savvy and educated reader/dieter. Pros: Specific, detailed information with great examples, tips, visuals and recipes. Inspirational and motivating stories and comments. Cons: Not an extensive enough food list to help figure out where some different foods may go in this plan. (EX: Almond Milk, where does that belong? Or is cream or half and half allowable with coffee, daily?) Also, if diabetic, how can the higher carb days help? As for the all of the exercises and information about getting your metabolism jump started, what if a person is very limited in their ability to exercise, not just due to weight, but possibly due to knee/hip/back injuries that wouldn't allow them to lift significant weight or do intense cardio (or many of the exercises in your book because of the need to use knees repeatedly). Would that person still lose weight on the calorie load suggested?

Make wt loss easier to understand. Explains what you have to do and why. It makes sense. I lost 30lb in 30 days just by following suggestions from book.

Love it !Lots of great info...lost 10 lbs in 6 days ...my only problem is the charts...my phone won't blow them up enough to see and I don't have a PC. ..any suggestions. ..I bought the ebook because of a tight budget !
