Book Nook: 'Jumpstart to Skinny' review
JUMPSTART TO SKINNY: The Simple 3-Week Plan for Supercharged Weight Loss, by Bob Harper, with Greg Critser. Ballantine Books, 214 pp., $26. Credit: Handout
Facing a wedding, a reunion or some other big event -- and want to drop extra pounds first -- and fast? Trainer Bob Harper of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" promises you can do it -- if you follow his 13 short-term rules! (Don't like exclamation marks? You might want to avoid this book!)
But first, the diet: It's 40 percent protein, 40 percent carbs and 20 percent fats (Rule 1) -- 800 calories for women and 1,200 for men, with no complex carbs after breakfast. (It's only three weeks, remember?)
