This book was purchased as a gift. Recipient has used it to balance food intake and exercise, and has found it very helpful.
Have you ever wanted to know how long it will take you to burn off the calories in that pizza or cake you want to splurge on? This book will tell you.
I bought this book the first day it came out. The book’s idea is very good. However, anyone who exercises knows that in order to accurately get a picture of how many calories one is burning….you need to base it on a certain weight. In magazines for example, they state “all calories are based on a 140 lb. female.” They always give the weight of the person. Its kind of the same thing when you are working out on a piece of equipment at the gym. Many articles say not to go by the number of calories on a machine because they tend to overestimate what you are burning. It is more accurate if the machine at the very least, asks you to enter your weight. And of course, the books states you will burn x amount of calories running, biking or walking. What speed? How fast? It doesnt even give you a general speed. No frame of reference at all. That is my gripe with the book. Otherwise it is a good premise because you would definitely think twice before eating a food.
This book helped to feel more comfortable about eating knowing what activity is required to burn off the food. It is not designed to find a short cut to losing weight, but it does show you how to eat sensible and know how much of a certain activity will be needed to burn off calories. This is a good way to get in your mind that it is okay to eat certain things, just be prepared to work it off. By telling you which activities will burn how many calories, it helps to plan workouts to be more effective. Some common food items were missing, but all in all it was helpful.
This book had so many different types of food and places to eat food. The book was easy to use and fun!
