This book is so detailed it was above and beyond my expectations.
For example, Jillian advises you to supplement your diet with kelp as iodine is essential for healthy thyroid function.
The book includes information on hormones, metabolism, insulin, the "glycemic load index", the thyroid hormone, cortisol, stress, the adrenal gland, the growth hormone, hunger hormones, and more. Many of the issues might seem overwhelming, but jillian makes it very simple to understand. She creates a simple plan that will help you fire up your metabolism and balance your hormones once and for all!
Love it April 18, 2007

Jillian as always is brutally honest, but for all the right reasons. This book is a perfect follow up to her first, Winning By Losing.
Jillian's diet philosophy is that there is no one size fits all diet. Ain't that the truth. For this reason, Making the cut assigns you an individualized calorie count and oxidizer type. The book has 3 seperate 30 day meal plans with detailed menus and recipes even down to the sodium grams. It makes it a no brainer to figure out how much carbs, protein and fat are right for you.
What makes this book different from her first is that she goes into great detail about what foods you CAN'T eat in order to balance your hormones and maximize your metabolism. She talks about how sodium, alcohol, processed foods, supplements affect your metabolism. The information was actually new to me.
The exercise program is incredible. The way it's written it feels like she is actually training you.
Highly recommend.

If you want to know how people like Vanessa Marcil go from having a baby to getting back on the cover of Maxim in only a few months, get this book.
The scary part: the workout is challenging and I can't even sit on the toilet I am so sore, but the diet is a no fail. Jillian literally walks you through every second of your day for a month. From exercising, eating, sleeping, supplements you name it. She leaves you no room for error.
I have been doing her plan for exactly 1 week today and weighed in this morning 8 POUNDS LIGHTER! After a week!
WOW April 18, 2007

I have to say that this book does it all for you when it comes to the planning. It is very detailed about exactly what to eat for the whole 30 days and the majority of the exercises can be done at home, but there is alternatives for the gym.
I have struggled with sticking to a diet plan because it became too hard to plan, but since it has every clearly laid out, even the shopping list, it's going give me one less excuse to not do it.
If you really want a guide to stick too, I would recommend you get his one.
