A real eye opener
Since I started using some of Fress methods and advice I've lost almost 20 lbs. in 2 mos. without "dieting" Its by far the best weight loss method I have ever tried!

A Good Read!
I really enjoyed this book but I enjoy reading his journal too. So I may be a little bias in my review. The book is simple and to the point. He's telling us what we already know but don't want to do. Eat right and exercise! Set yourself a goal and meet it. He shows us it can be done and he does it. He makes a lot of good points and a lot of what he writes makes you step back and think. The only bad thing I have to say about the book is....I wish he would have shown more of his sense of humor. The man is funny and if you read his journal you'll see he has a unique way of looking at things. I also wish he would have shown pictures of his weight loss as it happened like he did on his online journal.(the book would have probably cost more but I think people would have bought it. You know how we all love to see those before and after pictures). Other than that it was a good read. I recommend you check out his journal and buy the book.

Go Hunk!!!
From Chunk to Hunk is excellent! His accomplishment of losing 171 pounds is impressive and lends credence to his advice, and the advice is sane, sensible and solid (eat less, move more, etc). I loved his very positive attitude about the whole weight loss game, and found it inspirational that he had this attitude both when he was at his higher weights, with a long way to go, and when he was nearing his goal and only losing a small amount each month. I have some weight to lose, and have found adopting his positive, enthusiastic attitude about weight loss has helped me "stick with it" rather than the beating myself up which I formerly did, which formerly caused me to get discouraged and quit. Some of his best advice involved maintaining a positive attitude, everything in moderation, the importance of exercise,and the importance of natural foods and sensible eating rather than starvation or crash diets, pills or surgery. Most importantly, he urged people to realize they are in control of their weight and health - I know with weight, its always easy for me to tell myself I can't control what I eat when I'm stressed, pressed for time, under pressure, traveling, (wearing green, under a full moon, etc, etc, etc), but his book showed what nonsense this is!
Go Hunk!!!
