Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover

     Bob Greene is an exercise physiologist and certified personal trainer specializing in fitness, metabolism, and weight loss. He is a frequent guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. He is also a contributing writer and editor for O The Oprah Magazine, and writes on health and fitness for Oprah.com. Greene is the best-selling author of Make the Connection, Get With the Program!, The Get with the Program! Daily Journal, The Get With the Program! Guide to Good Eating and The Get With the Program! Guide to Fast Food & Family Restaurants. Bob has recently released his new book Total Body Makeover.

     He first made a name for himself as the personal trainer for Oprah Winfrey and they co-wrote the bestseller entitled, "Making the Connection: Ten Steps to a Better Body and a Better Life." His philosophy is to examine your life in a comprehensive manner. Lasting lifestyle change comes from within, not from outside programs, diets or specific exercise regimens. By making a personal commitment to yourself and focusing on diet and exercise equally, the individual can start a slow progression of steps that eventually leads to the personal power to control your own life. The initial focus of the program is on exercise in order to raise your metabolism and give you an incentive to eat well. Once you start to look and feel better, the guilt of poisoning your body with poor nutrition becomes a powerful controlling factor. When the program initiates the eating portion, the focus is less on calorie counting than it is on determining why you over eat. Bob Greene refers to this as "emotional eating."

     Bob Greene's programs are based on common sense and the reality of long-term weight loss, which makes it unique in the weight loss industry. They are as good as it gets as far as "diets" go. They are offered in book form at your local bookstore as well as online through his partnership with the internet diet company eDiets.
