Jorge Cruise launches book tour

Jorge Cruise is currently on a 20 city tour at various Barnes and Nobles promoting his 10th book “12-Second Sequence”. As we were waiting for the discussion to begin Jorge came bursting through the doors of the Barnes and Noble in New York City, kicking of his book tour energetically, despite the frigid temperatures in the teens outside. His promotional tour is perfectly timed with the New Year as the majority of New Year’s resolutions center around health and getting in shape.

Jorge began his discussions by talking about his passion for health and wellness and spoke about his perspective on ridding the body of fat. “This does not mean having to starve ourselves or perform cardio for hours,” Jorge states. The key being to build muscle strength by fatiguing the muscles. You will not change the muscle or body composition without this key component. This compressed program touts the ability to create muscle quickly, which then directly impacts our resting metabolism (the state of our metabolism when we are well, resting) leading to more calorie burn throughout the day.

After an overview of the program, Jorge lead a sample lunge exercise from the 12-second Sequence with members of the audience spread throughout the store. The countdown to 12 began and the audience members participating confirmed feeling the burn that Jorge has spoken about. He also at this point spoke on a more personal level about growing up overweight himself and not having good role models to look up to. In this 10th book, that took 2 years to write, are pages on eating well, meal plans and an exercise tracker. In addition, the book provides a self-administered fitness test, which then leads the reader into his 12 second sequence 8-week challenge. As well as joining the 8-week challenge, readers have the opportunity to win $10,000 by signing up at www.12second.com and uploading their before and after photos. 10 winners will be selected.

Jorge ends by asking us all “Are we ready to take on the challenge?” Are you?

Direct from Kimkins - Rebuttal

UPDATE:
Diets in review has received a rebuttal to our review from Jeannie Baitinger - Kimkins PR Director.

Dear Jim,

Thank you for giving Kimkins.com the opportunity to present our side of the story.

First please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeannie Baitinger and on the website I am known as Tippy Toes. I am employed by Kimkins.com as PR Director and as management.

We know we are under attack from various sources. But many of these sources are coming from people who have only heard about our diets and have not actually tried them. The effect has been much like a snowball effect of people who genuinely mean well but are not actual members. Much is based on hear say and negative publicity.

Moreover, we offer no calorie limits on any plan. There are no 500 calorie per day plans. No plan is 100% fat free. We do allow the individual to use common sense when adding healthy fats and we term this as “just enough fat to make it work”. We do not promote starvation of any kind and we never will. We encourage members to stick within the plan guidelines and further, we encourage them to add extra protein and possibly extra salads if they are still hungry or not feeling well.

Kimkins is a fraud

DietsInReview.com does not recommend the Kimkins diet program. Kimkins has completely misrepresented itself and the information it presents to customers, and in doing so, has endangered the lives of many of those people.

Kimkins broke into the diet scene in 2000 selling itself as the one sure thing to end your dieting chaos. She said she had been an obese 300 pounds and like so many others, struggled to find a diet that worked for her. So she created her own solution- a low-carb/low-calorie diet that she says works incredibly fast. Not only would Kimkins help you lose weight quickly (198 pounds in one year in her case), but the plan would set you up for success for life. Kimkins also excitedly promotes that you won’t have to do a single stretch, sprint or sit-up as exercise isn’t necessary to achieve these amazing results.

Unfortunately, none of it is true. Kimkins is being investigated for fraud after many customers became seriously ill. Kimkins is an excruciatingly low-calorie diet and none of the information presented as fact as any medical or scientific support. Kimmer herself does not have a nutritional background and her advice is strictly from what appears to be fake experiences.

Information on the Best Life Diet Program

The Best Life Diet is the only diet system endorsed by Oprah Winfrey, and the only program that helped her get her excess weight off and keep it off. It was developed by Bob Greene as a way to free people from the vicious cycle of weight loss and weight gain. Bob wants people who struggle with their weight to figure out exactly what they want out of their lives and confront the real reasons that they can’t shed those extra pounds. It isn’t so much a diet as it is a lifestyle change and lifelong commitment to your health.

The Best Life Diet is a full lifestyle program that you can access through his book and online. It is supported by an online community of people with common goals and struggles. The foundations of this program are the two only proven methods of weight loss—a sensible diet and a consistent exercise program. Online, participants can access meal plans, work-outs, video and article archives, and message boards fll of support.

There are three phases to the diet portion of The Best Life. You slowly phase in healthy food choices like vegetables and fruits and phase out poor choices like fried foods, pasta, and sugary drinks. The phases let you make small steps towards success, but they aren’t so strict that they set you up for failure. Each phase builds on the previous phase so that by phase three, you have made the full conversion to healthy eating but are still allowed small amounts of your favorite treats. Online, participants can make use of Bob’s meal plans. With different options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks posted everyday, there is plenty of variety to keep this diet from getting boring.

In addition to eating well, The Best Life program requires participants to commit to consistent workouts including cardio and strength training. Varying workouts helps keep exercise fresh and fun. Bob has also developed different phases of workouts to correspond to the different diet phases. Using the phases, even the most out of shape can get started exercising and build towards a more active lifestyle. And once you’ve reached a more active level, you can afford to eat a little more of the not-so-good-for-you things you love.

The Best Life Program is a true lifestyle change that is a safe, effective way to lose weight and keep it off. Unlike fad diets or quick-fixes it doesn’t promise miracles unless you put in the work, but if you do, the results will amaze you!
