Everybody knows that having a lot of excess fat on our bellies is not good. It doesn't just give us those ugly "muffin tops"; it applies stress on the rest of our bodies and adds to problems like coronary disease, diabetes and more. Now, though, there is a book called the Lean Belly Prescription that's promising to help you get rid of the muffin top and get healthy at the same time. The book has been analyzed all over the place and we wanted to find out if its contents were really better than anything else online, so we decided to take a closer look at it.
The book can be bought through typical booksellers like Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com. This is excellent because it will help the book gain legitimacy. It also makes it more worth buying because you won't have to worry about lots of affiliates presenting overly inflated reviews to make sure that they earn lots of commissions even if the book isn't helpful. It will help that the guide was developed by Travis Stork. You probably recognize him as one of the doctors from the syndicated show "The Doctors" in addition to a reality contestant on "The Bachelor." He is obviously more, however, than just a TV personality. He is an actual doctor who works as an emergency room physician at a real hospital.
Dr. Stork uses the book to market his Pick 3 to Lean system. Pick 3 to Lean is a program that allows you to customize your eating and lifestyle habits but doesn't force you to spend a bunch of time working out. The system promises to help you shed weight without having to give up any of the things you love-food, free time, etc. The theory behind this plan is called the Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (or N.E.A.T) theory. This is the theory of being capable of burn off calories without having to exercise.
From what we read, this book makes a variety of nice promises but isn't going to offer up any new or particularly revelation-worthy information. In fact, the majority of the suggestions found in this book can be found through a few simple Google searches and basic common sense. This will probably be a major frustration for the people who like to understand the reasoning behind the instructions that they are given and expected to adhere to. There is very little theory inside the pages of this publication. The readers are simply given some outlines and plans and told to follow along. This is a superb book for somebody who likes being given instructions but doesn't like to bother about why the instructions are given.
Traditional logic tells us that the only real way to lose weight is to eat good food and get regular exercise. This book doesn't use that common logic so there's no real way to tell whether or not it will work the way the marketing promises it will. Of course, today, if you can get your physician's blessing (from your own doctor, not the author of the book), anything at all is worth looking at!
