Narrado por: A.J. Rochester

A.J. Rochester has always been a lazy girl. She knows how hard it is to lose weight and exercise, and keep inspired about it to boot, especially when she'd much rather curl up with some chippies and watch Carson on Queer Eye.

After losing a staggering forty-five kilos, and writing about it in her bestseller, Confessions of a Reformed Dieter, hundreds of desperate women wanted to know how she did it. Forget Dr Phil, the clothesline and Atkins - this is an easy, fun and effective guide for any lazy girl who needs to lose weight and get results that last.

The Lazy Girl's Guide to Losing Weight and Getting Fit is a simple, step-by-step program and details the nuts and bolts of how A.J. lost weight and has helped over 200 clients through her 5 Kilo Club at Fernbank Fitness Centre. There's no starvation, no low carb torture, and no weights and measures - A.J. focuses on achievable goals, having fun and loving yourself while you make the biggest changes in your life.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Reading the book feels like you are having a down-to-earth chat with your sister, your mother, your best friend, someone who is willing to tell it like it is, but sympathise with you at the same time." (The Canberra Times)

"The author's speaking style is sincere and affirming. Her tone conveys the message that she is a confident and balanced winner rather than someone struggling with recovery." (AudioFile Magazine)

not me

this is just not my kind of book

Extremely Helpful

This book has helped me so much on my own quest to get healthy. It is full of common sense advice about ways to set yourself up for success and to accept the bumps along the way. The author concentrates on nutrition, exercise and emotional health. Some of her story is included, and even though my eating has never been as disordered as hers was, I find her message of "I did it and so can you" to be always encouraging.
Non-Aussies are going to have to make the effort to translate some food names and traditions to your local versions (if you don't know what pluto pups, hot chips and jelly snakes are, just google 'em!), but the basic advice holds true.
My current favorite nugget: there is no "on track" or "off track" with a fitness/weight-loss journey. There is no track; there is only life and how you deal with it. The "track" is a mythical ideal of goodness and perfection that your diet-battered self does not need to be messing with. Amen.

If you have a lot to lose

I liked this book but it was not really for me. I only have about 15 lbs to lose and this is more for the ladies with 50 plus lbs to lose and I think in those cases it would be a lot more helpful. I already do a lot of the things she suggest so...Not too helpful. But having said that I did lose about 30 lbs using those same techniques so it is worth a read.

great

Love it definitely worth reading
lots of helpful hints, recipe and real life advice...refer to it regularly

Full of Awesome info

This book is so good. AND interesting. The author makes you want to succeed. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to make healthier choices and wiser decisions in their eating habits. Not just for those who want to loose a lot of weight.
