Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength

This a 2 cd set, with about an hour on each Cd.
The first one seemed to cover mainly testimonials. Here is what I got about this
You need a inward change to motivate you to make an outward change, and you need to set goals in writing, and make plans to change. and really decide why you want to change.
The outward change seems to involve lifting weights to increase muscle, and burn more fat. You also set your own personal rating system based on 1 to 10. It kinda reminded me of the pain rating system at the Emergency room. So basically you are the judge of whether you made it to a 10 on your weight lifting. I realize that sounds lame, but you reach a 10 when you know you could not have lifted another rep of the weight. I have read this idea before in the book, so hearing it again was helpful.

His diet plan involves eating 6 smaller meals a day, combining protein with carbs and nothing bigger than the palm of your hand. Which is a concept that would work. He even encourages you to have one day a week where you just eat whatever you want. He doesnt ban pasta or potatoes or rice, which might be outdated as those types of carbs have been proven to be not as healthy for most people.
