Bob Harper's "The Skinny Rules" Anybody?

justanotherfatgirl · November 2012

Hi there

,

I was just wondering if anyone else was following the Bob Harper's book called "The Skinny Rules". It's a bit overwhelming at first, but I've decided to add two rules every week to help with the transition. His first two rules?
1. Drink a large glass of water before ever meal. No excuses!
2. Don't drink your calories.

Anywho, it would be great to find someone to share this journey with. The book is a great start, but anybody to be a "buddy" with would be great!

Thanks

I haven't read the book, but I think those are great rules... even though I had a Skinny Caramel Machiatto this morning, LOL. I do stick to the water with meals, it definitely feel full a whole lot faster! Add me if you like, I log every day and always welcome new health buddies

JustAnother,
How are you doing with the Skinny Rules?
The first rule, I think, is the most important. The rest of the rules are so much easier if you're drinking enough water.
Good luck!

The rules are most stupid. It's surprising that Bob Harper published that. It makes me wonder if he really is a certified trainer. I'd say, don't do it. It's full of myths and BS.

Hi there! I want to start this too, I am doing the first three already. I find it helpful to keep a pdf of them on my desktop so I can read them over occasionally. Although some of the rules (e.g. get rid of sugar) I might have to compromise on, because I really like a teaspoon in my coffee and prefer it to artificial sweetener.

I have done a few. "Go to bed hungry" is one I have been following for awhile now. It really has helped since in the past I was an epic late night snacker. I wasn't really hungry, just bored. The water rule has been helpful as well.

I recently read the book and found that the "rules" very closely resembled what I did to lose weight three years ago. I think there is a lot of science behind the rules, but they are presented in a way that makes them easy to understand. Good luck!

That's one I don't have yet...I will be getting it this month though....I love Bob Harper and I loved his last book, Are You Ready! I thought there was a lot of really good information in that.
