I still haven't finished the book but have started looking for a suitable gym so I can start my strength training. I am not planning on doing cardio (other than walking as much as my time allows). My time is very limited and I will probably have to train in my lunch breaks (and they are only 30 minutes 
). I am thinking of going without lunch breaks a couple of days a week so I can have longer breaks a couple of days and sue that for my training. But really, is 2 times a week enough at all? What is the optimal frequency and duration? Any advice is appreciated!

The book says 3 days is optimal but 2 days is sufficient. I usually do 2 days of NROL (I aim for 3 days but somehow it always ends up being 2) and 3 days of cardio . That can vary though since I'm always getting sick and have to take extra rest days frequently. Even though I'm only about half through with stage 1 I can still already tell I'm getting stronger even with just 2 NROL workouts a week.0
