Cardio Free Diet Book

I was looking through the local bookstore last night with the kids and saw this book with an interesting if completely wrong title. What the hell does cardio have with a diet. In my mind there are two parts of a healthy lifestyle and those are diet and exercise. Of course the book intrigued me so I had to pick it up.

Well it seems my first instincy was a little unfair. It seems that the book has good intentions. As far as diet is concerned Jim Karas is more interested in portion control then fighting the whole high protein or low fat or nay other high or low type eating style. Portion control is of course for the most important part of a north american diet and once you have that in check then you can worry about everything else.

The Cardio Free Diet

The cardio free portion of the Cardio Free Diet is the exercise that Jim Karas prescribes. Instead of doing hours of cardio he tells us that hte most important thing is to do weights. Weight training alone are not the answer but I always like the idea of people going overboard in one direction because it helps to emphasize something that is probably missing or not given enough attention. Every pound of muscle that you gain from doing weights will force your body to burn more calories everyday and of course doing weights will increase your metabolism but we all know that cardio really is important too.

A lot of people are looking for an easy way out whether it is avoiding cardio or avoiding weights or avoiding good eating but the Cardio Free Diet is all about getting rid of cardio and getting all of your exercise from doing wieghts, I have a hard time agreeing with that. This being said the book is quite good and I am sure that you will be able to pick up some great tips from this book. I like reading and re-reading any diet and exercise books because good books always give you an angle that you never thought of or tips that really help you everyday.

Is the Cardio Free Diet a Good Book?

This may not be the best book out there but I still think it is a good one to look at and read. If you get a chance to see it in the bookstore flip through it and if you like it click this link and buy the book as I always find that Amazon saves me money when I am buying books.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
