Rating: Moderate BodyLogicMD Review: An excellent fitness guide from one of the nation’s leading fitness experts. The Lean Body Promise will take you through a 12-week fitness guide and nutrition program that will have you burning fat and building muscle in no time.

Summary:

“There is a strong, lean body inside of you, and you have the power to release it." That is the promise of fitness and nutrition expert Labrada, a Pro Bodybuilding Hall of Famer and former Mr. Universe credited with helping Houston lose its distinction as "America's Fattest City." His 12-week nutrition program includes five small meals a day that balance protein and carbohydrates and regular cardio and weightlifting exercises.

Subscribing to the principle that building muscle mass burns fat and enhances metabolism, Labrada's program varies the weight resistance exercises from day to day but maintains a consistent 30-minute schedule that can yield results in as few as 12 weeks. Included in The Lean Body Promise are 11 testimonials from men and women who have successfully completed the nutrition program, motivational tips, and instructions on how to eat the right amounts at the right times and track one's progress. A brief section of recipes and menus rounds out this excellent fitness guide.
