A great place to start,
In 1993, I was fat, out of shape and somewhat hopeless. I had tried running, stair-stepping, and cycling to little avail. I would lose 5 to 10lbs and while my body was smaller, it really didn’t look that much better. I was cardiovascularly fit but physically I seem to have little to show for the hours I spent sweating in the gym. In a desperate search for some real help, I found Joyce’s book in a public library. It was a book that profoundly changed my life.
For a former couch potato and self-proclaimed nerd, this book was perfect for bringing me quickly up to speed on how to reshape and redesign the body I thought I was stuck with. Joyce described the importance of aerobics, good nutrition, and good form. Plus she made it simple enough to avoid intimidating a person as ignorant about fitness as I was. (Prior to her book, I had believed that if I lost weight once and then stopped working out the weight would never come back)
I liked the way she detailed a workable plan that wasn’t overwhelming. The cheerful and informative way she wrote the book made it a text I relied on for years. I’ve loaned this book to friends and occasionally still reread it when I’m in a fitness slump. While I don’t believe her claims of Fat to Firm in 24 days, I do believe in her high-rep low-weight superset routine. I now have a definition and shape that my friends (fit long before me)only dream of. Some of it is natural propensity but the other is Vedral’s innovative technique.
Although it took me longer than her book claimed(I didn’t follow the diet exactly) I did lose 30lbs and gained a lovely, symmetrical sturdy shape. I swear by her abdominal routine which defines my serratus lines.
My discovery of this book was a turning point in my life and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s just starting out with fitness. It gives you an excellent fundamental knowledge and a results-producing plan.

|Ugly Fat? Absolutely. Twenty-four days? Yep!,
Let’s face it–an excess of fat will kill you, and there is no denying it. Fat is not healthy. It will cause your body to work harder than it has to simply in order to survive. In this book, Joyce lays it on the line and says things that may not be popular or what we want to hear… but according to the doctors I’ve had to consult, they’re absolutely true. The menu guidelines that Joyce espouses mirror my American Diabetes and American Health Association cookbooks, and the weight training regime does, indeed, boost one’s metabolism as well as facilitate lipase transport… Joyce has made practicing good glycemic control easy for me.
Twenty-four workout days represents about six to eight weeks of four-day workout cycles, and the proof is in the pudding. Check out the before-and-after success stories in her books and on her website (and even amongst these reviews). These are real people, and every one of them is happier for having changed their lives. And they saw the changes in the time that Joyce said they would.
I know my future is definitely brighter than it’s ever been. The message I get from Joyce’s books is this: revel in your beautiful soul, but take care of the temple it lives in. Be as aware of your physical health as you are of your mental health. This, to me, is not representative of obssession with the Body Beautiful, but an outlook of symmetry and serenity.
