Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life

Each season, millions of viewers tune in to see Chris Powell lead extraordinary transformations on ABC's breakout hit reality-transformation show,Extreme Weight Loss. Now, building on the basic weight-loss philosophy introduced in his bestselling book Choose to Lose, Chris has created a transformation plan anyone can follow--one that recognizes that no weight-loss journey is the same, and that more options mean longer-lasting results. 

At the center of Chris Powell's Choose More, Lose More for Life is Chris's carb-cycling plan, which kicks your metabolism into full gear by alternating between low- and high-carb days. Never carb-cycled before? No problem. Powell provides all the information you need to get started and see immediate results. Been carb-cycling but need to shake things up? This book provides four different cycles--Easy, Classic, Turbo, and Fit--to help you find a plan that fits you.

Chris also understands that weight loss plateaus when we get bored. So in this book, he focuses on choices--including more than twenty new workouts called Nine-Minute Missions--that pack maximum results into minimal time. He also offers more delicious and easy recipes to keep you eating well, more tracking logs to keep you motivated, and more success stories to inspire you as you write your own--one that lasts for the rest of your life!

Carb cycling is not new to the body-building community but to the general public it is a newer concept. It is related to carb restriction, but provides more variety. The concepts in Chris Powell's "Choose More, Loser More for life" contain the following:

"Choose More Lose More" presents 4 detailed Carbohydrate Cycling plans:

The Easy Cycle is for those who are "just starting their journey.:
The Classic Cycle is the plan that gives you a "boosted metabolism with fast weight loss."
The Turbo Cycle accelerates and intensifies carb-cycling results so you can reach your weight loss as quickly as possible.
the Fit Cycle is for those who are already very active but "want to drop some weight."

9 minute missions: 20 different workouts designed for optimal results. Each workout is 9 min, and of course you can and our encouraged to, extend the workout longer.

These exercises range from low intensity to high and are mostly calisthenic. They can be done at home or anywhere include: jogging in place, stepping side to side, jumping jacks, standing knee raises with boxing punches. All of these can raise the heart rate to the individual's desired levels.

One of the major pluses to this workout is that you do not have to always 1. go low fat-high carb (which has proven to cause weight gain and hyper-insulinism in many people), nor 2. go high protein and high fat with low / restricted carb intake. You can mix up your eating lifestyle, lose weight, and improve your health.

Also advocated, is eating 5 meals spread throughout the day to increase metabolism and maintain blood sugar levels. The book includes 35 recipes for main meals and snacks.

This can work for many people, especially those who do not want to follow the "all or nothing" programs of low carb-high fat protein eating lifestyle vs. low fat-high carb lifestyle. This program will be successful if followed and has more flexibility in our ubiquitous carbohydrate world.
