Welcome the challenge!
By Tracey Calvin
I just got the book 3 days ago. I am only on day three, but the information in this book is eye opening. Jillian covers everything from hormones and metabolism, supplements like hoodia, even the master cleanse.
I saw the review below and can’t help but wonder if that person actually read the book. There ARE in fact 3 separate 30 day menu plans. One for each oxidizer type (slow, balanced, and fast). For that reason, 1 plan will ask for non-fat cottage cheese and another will ask for low fat. Those two ingredients are not on the same meal plan and they are also on separate grocery lists (of which there are 3, one for fast, balanced, and slow).
Jillian goes on to explain that the recipes make up to 10 – 12 servings for the following reasons: Most women don’t want to make separate meals for their families. Also, the book allots each reader with and individualized calorie allowance. As some of the recipes are very low calorie, some people doing the plan will require up to 5 servings of each recipe. Last, if you are like me, always on the run and finding it difficult to cook every night this book will solve your problem. This way you will have healthy food prepared when you are pressed for time. All that said, she specifically mentions in the book that if you want to make less food you can simply cut the ingredients in half and the meal will still come out perfectly making half the servings.
With regard to the workouts: There are over 100 separate exercises in the book and less then 10 of them require gym equipment. The workouts seem predominantly designed to utilize body weight exercises (no gym required).
The workouts do seem tough, that is for sure. However, you can easily modify the exercises to accomodate your fitness level. Jillian offers over 8 variations of plank exercise, 11 different variations of lunges, 8 variations of push ups, and 8 variations of squats just to name a few. For those that don’t have a treadmill accessible she offers up over 10 different types of cardio intervals that require no equipment like mountain climbers, butt kicks, squat jacks etc.
As for not being able to tackle weeks 3 and 4 of the workouts on day 1, I think that is the whole point. In order to lose weight quickly you must progress your fitness level quickly. For example, the contestants on Biggest Loser couldn’t walk around the block on day 1 and by day 7 she seems to have them running miles and doing push ups. This is why she instructs you to follow the plan religiously. I assume that by doing the workouts from week 1 and week 2 you will be ready to take on weeks 3 and 4, hence the books promise of delivering “the best shape of your life”.
I love Jillian. I have been a fan of hers sine season one of Biggest Loser. I listen to her radio show religiously and trust her advice. I use her dvd’s and have gotten amazing results. I love this book so far and although it’s no walk in the park, I welcome the challenge.

By Alissa Cooper
If you want to know how people like Vanessa Marcil go from having a baby to getting back on the cover of Maxim in only a few months, get this book.
The scary part: the workout is challenging and I can’t even sit on the toilet I am so sore, but the diet is a no fail. Jillian literally walks you through every second of your day for a month. From exercising, eating, sleeping, supplements you name it. She leaves you no room for error.
I have been doing her plan for exactly 1 week today and weighed in this morning 8 POUNDS LIGHTER! After a week!

By Jan Idlas
True to form, Jillian comes through in a manner that is clear, concise, and no-nonsense. I lost 32 pounds utilizing her first book, “Winning by Losing.” I’ve maintained my loss for almost a year, in part, by listening to her weekly radio show. She won my loyalty long ago, because this woman KNOWS HER STUFF! So when I heard about her new book, I decided I was ready to dive back in and go for “the cut.” I’ve lost 5 additional pounds in 8 days. I’m so jazzed — thank you, Jillian!

I found the book to be informative and insightful. As long as you stick to the program you will see results. I am glad I decided to buy this book.
workouts and pagination are difficult to follow
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I find that while these workouts might be good to do, they are difficult to follow. I am fairly knowledgeable about exercise and I think that the instruction in the workout section is difficult to follow and lacking in detail. It will show Jillian in a position in the photo and then describe her in a totally different position for the description of the exercise that correlates with the photo. Then it will say to do a certain number of reps and not say to even them out on both sides. I realize this is probably common knowledge but there are a lot of people out there that are going to be doing these exercises incorrectly based on the lack of detail, and could injure themselves. Additionally and most importantly, this book will list the exercises and the number of reps on a given day’s routine. THEN you need to look in the back of the section to see a GLOSSARY where THEN it refers you to a page to find the info on how to do the exercise. So basically you have to have your fingers marking at least THREE different pages to flip around to figure out what to do! It’s very difficult to use, poorly organized, and basically the first time you go through any given workout you need at least 30 minutes the night before to prepare for the workout the next day. Then you need to make notes and know what you are doing before you even start so that then you can move from circuit to circuit quickly or you won’t build up a sweat and get your heart rate up. While there is some great info in this book, I do not recommend it because it’s a HUGE time committment! YIKES!
Good, but
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I read the book and think her perspective may actually work, if it was as easy as following the eating plan. I am a vegetarian and eat very little dairy products..no milk, cheese or cottage cheese..the only dairy I eat is occasionally a yogurt. I dont eat eggs. It is just too complicated to try and figure out the swaps for protein and fats from her plan. Every menu contains either eggs or milk or meat. Based on the book, I have concluded that I am probably eating way too many carbs, I eat alot of rice, potatoes and bread..should probably cut down on those!
good and….
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I like Jillian Michaels. She’s inspiring and smart. She has a lot of good information to pass along. Unfortunately I didn’t realize when I bought the book that it’s for people with 20 lbs or less to lose – I’ve got 8 more before I really get to make the most of it. Because I liked the way she says what she has to say I bought “Winning by Losing” which has helped me start losing weight. I look forward to being ready to put “Making the Cut” to really good use.
Great Results
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am a very fit individual and had hit a plateau in my workouts. This book solved that problem. Wow. I can’t seem to recommend this enough. I feel like I should be getting paid for the amount of promoting I do of this book. The cover is a bit intimidating to take into the gym, but I’ve gotten over it. Again, wow!
Jillian Rocks!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Working out with Jillian is awesome! If you are ready for hard work….and ONLY if you are ready for hard work, then buy her DVD’s. I have all of them and LOVE each one! None are the same at all, and each will kick your butt! However…YOU need to make that happen. It’s your intensity that will make it work. So if you are a “fluffy trainer type” person, then you probably won’t like Jillian.Although she does talk about beginner moves and promotes doing the easier moves if that is what your body is telling you what to do. She also helps encourage you to give it your all. She just a “tells it like it is kind of gal” and helps push you to be your best. No half assing it. It’s YOUR workout she says…you buy the DVD, you do the work. Each of her DVD’s have different routines, but the message is the same if you want your outer shell to be hot, then you also need to work on your inner shell, your mind & nutrition have to be in the game with you as well.
Jillian Rocks! Great intense workouts in all her DVD’s and in her Biggest Loser DVD’s. Good Luck to you!
Very Motivating

Jillian is great. I really liked this book and also get her e-mails and use her dvd’s. What’s great is her holistic approach that makes it about so much more than just weight. I also really liked and was helped by reading Clarity in Weight Loss on [...]
Exercises Good, Recipes/Food Bad
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Buy this book if you are looking for some kick butt workouts. I am a runner and so consider myself in decent shape, but I found these circuits quite challenging, which is exactly what I was looking for. She does a great job of listing variations of moves so that if you aren’t in a gym you can still work that muscle. And each week you do different moves so you never get bored, although you might feel like throwing up here and there. The only downfall to the exercise portion is that there aren’t pictures of each move, which would help me make sure the form is correct.
Don’t buy this book for the diet/food aspect. Most of the recipes turn out bland and tasteless or require expensive ingredients that you won’t use all of in a week. The diet plan doesn’t have hardly any fruits and vegetables and requires you to use things like butter substitute, splenda and items with high fructose corn syrup in them. Those things don’t mesh with healthy eating in my mind.
great info!!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
this was a great book to read, however i never did follow it completely as i do not have time to cook for myself. but it was great to read and the exercises i liked. the information was right on the mark. i highly recomend this book and any of jillian’s books
Circuit Training is the way to go!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
My husband and I have been using the 30 day workout plan for the past 2 weeks and we love it! It breaks us out of our old rut of just doing the same old routine. I actually look forward to what’s ins tore that day! Of course her circuits are hard, they will kick your butt, but day by day I see and feel the difference. The first week we lost 4 pounds a piece. Definitely recommend this book. We aren’t following the exact diet but are using her ideas to create our own.
Holds a lazy girl’s interest
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
A coworker offered to loan me this book after a conversation we had about how discouraged I felt about losing weight. I was a bit skeptical at first; even though I watch The Biggest Loser, I think the show is overexposed and I wasn’t sure how fresh and captivating the book would be.
This particular book is meant for people of an average or better fitness level with 20 lbs or fewer to lose, so right off the bat I liked that it’s specifically geared toward me. It’s divided into 3 parts: diet, exercise, and supplements.
The diet portion actually contains meal plans and grocery lists for 3 different metabolism types. I was surprised to see which type I am, and although I don’t follow the specific meal plan/grocery list, I have already seen a difference in my energy level and cravings (I’m on Day 4) from eating healthfully and using the ideology behind fast oxidization. The book also includes healthy recipes.
The fitness portion is wonderful. It has tons of pages of exercises with illustrations and written directions. Because there are so many, I find the index quite useful. I recommend taking 5 minutes to familiarize yourself with all the exercises in a given day before you even hit the gym. It will save you a lot of page flipping! Each daily workout is comprised of about 5 cicuits. The workout is different every single day for the whole 30 days, which I love, love, love! Basically you’ll do resistance training and calisthenics, followed by a minute of cardio in every circuit. Jillian even tells you how to figure out how much weight to use (when applicable). She recommends followed each 45 minute workout with 15 minutes of cardio. There are also days off built in, and not necessarily where you’d expect!
The final section of the book addresses the many supplements out there. Not certain brands, but the ingredients themselves. She goes into what each one actually does, how well it works, who should take it, how much to take and when, and what to combine it with. She also goes into which supplements to avoid and why. I found this section very enlightening and invaluable. I was able to choose a caffeinated, fat burning supplement with the knowledge that I had the ingredients present in the dosage I wanted, as opposed to just picking one at random off a shelf. Nice!
I think the best thing about this book is that it has breathed new life into my fitness regimen. I’m now excited and committed to going to the gym, because every day is like a surprise and that makes it really fun! I feel energized and proud afterwards. I am of barely average fitness and I find the workouts challenging, but not exhausting. I feel enough soreness the next day that I know I worked hard, but that I’m not in pain. And I love the way she works out the front of your body one day and the back the next! I showed this book to my personal trainer to use during our sessions, and she wants to buy a copy, as well.
needs work
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This book provides good inspiration and motivation. What is really impeding me now from adopting this into practice is that I just don’t have the mind to go through every exercise in this repertoire and honestly be able to remember each one well enough to perform each one in succession smoothly and without pausing. What we need are tear-out cards of these exercises so they can be shuffled around in the order of the circuits Michaels lays out.
Best Work Out and Recipe Book – All in One!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I love the work outs in this program! The program employs a variety of exercises to motivate the participant: weights, the participant’s own body weight, jumping exercises, running, jumping rope, resistance bands, etc. I run half marathons and this program is an excellent way for me to build some muscle for running and increase my upper body strength. I recommend taking her fitness tests at the beginning of the book so that you know what your weakness is: cardio, leg strength, upper body strength, etc. The program is challenging – I have been humbled. I just tell myself, “I’m doing it and I’m getting stronger every day!”
The recipes are good, but not the best I have tasted. In general, I am not a big proponent fat-free, low-carb, low-fat. I substitute olive oil for cooking spray and full-fat cream cheese for low-fat, and real tortillas (I’m in Texas!) for low-carb. BUT, I am not trying to lose weight – just gain a little muscle! For people trying to lose weight, the recipes are perfect. You will lose weight if you stick to her exercise and diet routine. You will gain muscle. She uses a proven approach to balancing blood sugar to reduce cravings.
I have yet to find another book like this one! And believe me I have tried to find another book for variety.
Results within 2 weeks that even my husband noticed!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book is great! I went through 2 “cycles” and had remarkeble results. You work HARD and you look silly doing it, but the results come quick and noticable. I am an avid exerciser and have been serious about health for at least 10 yrs now. Don’t buy the book if you don’t have a gym membership. It’s almost required for the book. My husband was inspired after my first 30 days and decided to join me with my workouts. Many times he almost passed out because he was working so hard (and he only lasted 2 weeks). This is a great way to tone up and gain cardiovascular health. I didn’t follow the diet to a tee, though I did mix my protein and carbs and also was very mindful of what I was putting in my mouth. I just find it very expensive to follow specific plans. Overall, this is a great buy if you are looking to jump start your health, get toned, and just feel great!
Not for Vegetarians!!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I love Jillian Michaels.. I have her 30 day shred DVD which I use frequently. I bought this book looking for inspiration and a better eating/lifestyle guide. I’m a vegetarian and did not think that would necessarily be a problem, but most of the recipes are aimed at meat-eaters, so if you’re a vegetarian, I would suggest just googling weight-loss inspirational articles and healthy vegetarian recipes.
