I’ve lost nearly 50 pounds with this book. Although combiningfoods Suzanne’s way helps me to eat less, I believe what makes themost difference is cutting out sugar. I’m a healthier, calmer person now. I don’t eat red meat, and I still eat potatoes occasionally. You don’t have to follow the book exactly to get results! My advice to you is to closely watch how much saturated fat and sugar you consume. But the basic principles are good to follow, and it’s worth a try to see if the program works for you…

I actually am doing the 100 Pushup Challenge! Check it out!

5 weeks ago when I started, I was able to max out doing 39 in a row. 5 weeks later, I can do 20 more. Not bad, considering I also look more defined in the upper body.

Diet is also important. I admittedly slack when it comes to that, but it is important to find something that you can stick to and enjoy. It’s the only way to create that habit.

Dear Dear Dear Dorian,”Check out Madonna. She has a great shape for her age.” I say at her age or any age, we should be so blessed with good genes and discipline. Her excellent shape is a result of this combo. What would you think about a woman who is 48 and has a 19 inch waist line? Yes, I know not bad at my age!

Vic: I wish that I still lived in Spain — the Mediterranean as a whole has healthier food and dining habits. People live much simpler. Olive oil is a staple in that region and has many health benefits. No matter where I’ve lived in the world, I’ve kept my Mediterranean diet. At five-nine, I’m a healthy 117 (though 13 more pounds heavier than my college years–nearly 30 years ago). I attribute all of that to good genes, tranquil mental attitude, consistent exercise (regardless of the quantity) and healthy eating habits [which includes chocolate and yummy pomegranate martinis]. I find myself managing stress and career and family demands quite efficiently and with tremendous energy. Don’t give up on you.

David is right. Working out can help you loose weight or gain it. Working out improves your looks, reduces your stress, and for some strange reason it builds confidence too! Just keep up with it, and you will see results.

I definently hear you on the diet part, David. At University, I didn’t suffer from the “Freshmen 15″ at all, and only gained weight when in my final year I studied for a semester in Madrid where my host family didn’t have the healthiest of habits and drowned their dinners in olive oil. Was it any wonder that my host brother Ruben was built like a brick house and played rugby? I think not. I gained 30 pounds in 4 months! Needless to say, since then, “the battle of the bulge” has been in full effect….Although now that I’ll be returning to Spain soon and will be left to my own devices for food, I will try to continue my health-conscious ways.
To David and his many followers: Any suggestions on living heathily in a country that still allows smoking in their enclosed-soccer stadiums?

yeah I hear that!!! I am 24 and I am a amateur body builder.. and it really is a great feeling of accomplishment feeling dead tired after a workout. After you do it for a couple weeks you actually feel more alive after the workout..like you are ready to take on the world. The gym is really the only place I feel completely in confident in what I am doing and how I feel. I am way more outgoing right after a hard work out. I wouldn’t say that they gym is the best place to pick up members of the other sex because everyone is into their lil grooves, but it is better then the bar.. also don’t think that guys that have big muscles have a better chance with women..lol I find it that alot of girls are very intimidated by the way we look. I really don’t understand it. I myself is horrible at getting dates.. and alot of my gym loving buddies are too. But all in all I must agree with David on this !!!

Amen, brother. I run, do yoga 3-4 times a week, bike (this is a great way to meet men), and lift weights. Being physically strong makes me feel confident. Having a tiny waist makes me look good in any outfit. Also, weight lifting and resistance training are the only ways to keep your body from looking old. Would you rather have your underarms waving in the wind as you age or have a nice toned upper body. Check out Madonna. She has a great shape for her age.
