I enjoy watching Jillian Michaels on The Biggest Loser and Losing It with Jillian, and I often use her workout DVDs at home. I had never read any of her books before, so when I saw this one at the library, I had to pick it up. I like how the book is organized into three sections: Self, Science, and Sweat. For me the most interesting and helpful section was Self. Jillian really makes you think about your attitudes toward food and exercise and identify some of the excuses you make for not eating healthy or exercising. I like that she addresses these issues before giving recommendations on diet and exercise. The second section, Science, focuses on nutrition and figuring out what type of metabolism you have. My eyes glazed over a bit at some of the sheer amount of details in this chapter, but overall it was good advice tailored to different types of metabolisms. The final section, Sweat, focuses on anatomy and exercise. There were plenty of pictures included that demonstrated correct form for specific exercises.
Winning by Losing is a great book for anyone who wants a little motivation to get healthy by eating right and exercising.
