I thought I was in shape, I have been working out steadily for the past two years lost 80 lbs but had stalled out and want to lose 40-50 more. Since buying the book I have all motivation back thanks to a lot of the fantastic motivational quotes throughout and am back on track seeing amazing results in just one month!! The workouts are hard but you feel so great it is totally worth it!

Hello,
I have read NROLFW (and I started the program. I am in Phase 1… about 4 weeks in) and now I have just read FBB. It seems really good too!! Which program would you recommend? I have fat to lose and I want to build muscle. I am just wondering about your opinions of one versus the other…. pros/cons, differences, etc. Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Jill
p.s. I love your website. It has been so helpful and your section on squats got me really doing them right! Thanks again.

[...] Krista’s review. (Also, Krista has up a new interview with NROLFW with Cassandra Forsythe about women and lifting, and they bring up FBB.) [...]

Ordered the book the day it came out, after reading this review, started to clean up my diet right after I read it, and started the 1st phase at the beginning of January. Holy crap!!! I’m seeing results really quickly, and the fat that’s been camping out on my upper arms for the past several years is slowly being evicted – 1/2 inch in two weeks! Thanks so much for the review.

I’ve been following this book since it arrived, and I can already tell a difference.

I had been on an eating plan designed to reduce inflammation and increase leptin sensitivity, because of some blood work I had done; it wasn’t really working. Eating to raise my metabolism, though, seems to be working like a charm.

The FBB nutrition plan is really similar to what Krista recommends, with some significant additions such as four phases to cycle through.

And like Krista mentioned, the mentor/older sister voice is great. It’s taught me a lot about the mindset I need to have to meet my goals.

well….I don’t work for these sites or anything, but ghf (correct url is global-fitness.com) and tom venuto’s burnthefatinnercircle.com together offer a great deal of personalized support/attention/articles/personal emails from trainers/workout programs — all for a grand total of $30 a month. I don’t see anything her site is offering that they don’t, together, offer. Is her extra girl power and charisma or what have you worth another $67 a MONTH over the price of those sites? I guess that’a each “fit female”‘s call to make.

After reading what you get for the $97/mo coaching group I would pay it if I hadn’t already joined Lean Eating Coaching.

Just the monthly workout will be worth the cost! Add to that access to specific coaching advice! It’s really a small price to pay.

I ordered my copy as soon as I saw this post.

I love that the first half of the book is about mindset and motivation. That’s always been the hardest part for me, as a (former) lifelong emotional eater. The visualization techniques have made a difference in my thinking already.

I also love how the nutrition plan is meant to fit together with the phases of workouts.

Everyone’s got the system that works for them. For some folks, it’s worth the $ to be part of more intensive coaching support communities — they benefit from the structure and accountability. Others who are more independent may not want that as much. For some folks who really need more in-depth attention, it might be the best $97 they ever spent.
