Take back control!

This is the second book Erwann Menthéour that I have the opportunity to read ("What if we stopped to lie").
In this book one, second edition of the Method Fitnext, the author describes a method (diet + sport) to use his body in hand, lose some weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

In the first part, he talks about his personal history. (His childhood, professional cycling, stopping his career, his life after the health problems of his second wife, etc.)
In the second part, it develops "his" method ". First, it provides some nutrition principles, explains some physiological aspects and addresses the issue of weight training (not to be confused with bodybuilding.) Then he exhibited a method of 40 days. It starts with a cure, a "Detox" (preceded by two days without animal protein and a fasting dinner the night before) with grapes or apples. Then it offers menus for each day of the week (morning + midi + evening) and 3 sport sessions per week (can achieve at home without equipment). All recipes are explained in the third part of the book and exercise are detailed in Part 2 (with drawings, indications of the osteopath). The sports program is detailed (number of sets, repetitions, etc.)
The third part includes all revenues (by Giuliano Sperandio).
The 4th and final part speaks of "his fight" (mainly on food).

What's great about this book is that the program is complete.
The short biography at the beginning to understanding the author's progress and all that will follow. His advice is full of common sense and are allied with naturopathy.
The program is also effective (strength training serves to increase the basal metabolic rate, without becoming a bodybuilder so far - cardio helps destock fat): it is progressive and well detailed. Food is balanced (vegetable at will; meat and fish a few times a week - vegetables - dried fruit - green tea - etc.).
What I particularly like is the "holistic" approach where the body is taken as a whole ...
The book is also of good quality. Airy, color, beautiful descriptions throughout and some testimonials.

What I liked a little less: the style of the author (particularly in the first part and the beginning of the second part) is an oral style. Very pleasant to listen to, it's quite "no" to read, especially when the author uses some rude expressions ... Finally, some drawings, some illustrations, the sport could have been a little better explained (including the clean and jerk ). For the accustomed people, it goes. For others, this may be a little harder. Nevertheless, since the loads are light and detailed advice, I do not think there's any risk of injury.

If you had to choose one book between it and the other ("And if we stopped to lie"), I advise you this one if your you need a sports program. The other is a good complement (relating to food hygiene, sport), but all ideas are already in Method Fitnext.

I hope these guidelines will be helpful.
