Montel Williams is a pretty popular talk show host with a rabid following, and given his journey with his own personal health, it is not surprising to see a book from him. This was actually a fascinating read that will provoke a lot of thought and we were not prepared to like it as much as we did. While the suggestions in this book are not for everyone, they do offer an alternative to getting healthy and losing weight.
The main premise of this diet plan is that you have three weeks to rethink your food choices and how much exercise you get. Montel provides food and exercise diaries that are designed to guide you and help you track your progress over these three weeks. Diet diaries are already known to be very effective when it comes to losing weight, so this is solid advice that anyone can benefit from.
He lost us a bit when it came to the “green drink,” which is a bit nasty in our opinion. Basically, it contains a bunch of what Montel calls “superfoods” that are designed to help you get your health on track. The ingredients are always changing so you run a low risk of getting bored, but we just couldn’t get past the whole yuck factor with this drink. That said, even if you aren’t brave enough to try the drink, the advice in this book is pretty sound and should be beneficial to most readers.
The main problem facing Montel is that he is not a diet expert or guru, but then again, that hasn’t stopped thousands of authors from hitting the best seller lists. While he may not have a lot of training, the book comes off more as a personal journey, with tips that worked for him. Considering that he does have Multiple Sclerosis and has managed to stay pretty healthy despite that, it does seem as though his personal diet and fitness plan is working for him.
This is one of the few diet books on the market that is really geared towards men, although women can still get a lot out of it. The recipes and food suggestions are perfect for guys that are used to filling meals and eating a lot. The recipes should help men stay full and still get the benefits of eating healthy. There are a few issues with his recommendations, and many of the foods are not perfect, but when looking at the big picture here, it is clear that this is a diet plan that may actually work for most people.
We really didn’t think that we would like this book, but it managed to avoid the pitfalls that so many celebrity diet books have. There are a few problem areas, but overall we found the diet advice sound, the fitness principles largely accurate and the recipes delicious. If you are stuck with diets that are not working for you, this may be the answer to your problems.
