The Game On! Diet: Kick Your Friend's Butt While Shrinking Your Own (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Want to lose weight and kick your friends butt while doing it? Then this is definitely the book for you! The book is the brain child of Grey's Anatomy writer Krista Vernoff and her trainer Az Ferguson. Krista writes the book, with tips and tidbits from Az as it goes on. For a diet book it is actually quite funny, which makes you want to stick to the diet even more. The gist is that you have habits that you must do every single day (eat 5 small meals a day, exercise for at least 10 minutes, drink a certain amount of water - etc) and you get points for it. You compete against a friend or group of friends every week for a prize (decided by you, but must be big enough that you would not want to lose). At the end of a 4 week period, the team or person that loses must give the winning team/person a prize. This could be gift cards, a nice night out on the town, or whatever you decide on. The diet is not easy though - its very strict about what you can/cannot eat or drink, how much you should eat, when you should eat, and how much you exercise. But the competitiveness of the "game" makes you want to stick with it that much more. It is not a "cure all" type diet that I feel that every one can stick to for the rest of their lives, but it is a great kick start to a new health regimen. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a fun new way to lose weight and get healthy, or if you just want to read a very funny book about dieting. I loved this book it was just what I needed and it's not just a diet it's got so much more. I immediately went online and signed up for a competition. It's not just about losing weight you score points for a whole lot of things, drinking water, exercise, doing a new good habit, breaking an old one etc.. I would not recommend getting this on your Kindle you need to reference back and the chapters aren't labelled I finally just went and ordered the book because my Kindle wasn't cutting it for this. Good book, good idea, come play with me,lets see who wins.
