    I haven't read his book and I'm not sure that I want to. Excessive weight loss equals eventual weight gain. I'd rather loss weight slowly and permanently then quickly with lots of loose skin. I was under a sports doctor when I had to increase my fitness and loose some weight. Everything in moderation was his motto. I never blew my training or my eating. Even now I am concentrating on fitness and well being with a side of weight loss. I do drink water before I eat But for those of you who swear by him, well dona and continued good health. Remember this is my opinion and it's right for me. :)

    Thank you all for sharing the list and your added advice. I will definitely pick the book up now as I see many of the rules are akin to what I am already trying to do. AND I love Bob Harper too :) I just tried out for Season 14 Biggest Loser and the simple GOING to a casting call, etc, etc, got me inspired to GIT 'ER DUN! Thanks again for sharing :)

    These are the rules that I saw on a picture file going around on Pinterest:
    1. drink a large glass of water before every meal--no excuses!
    2. don't drink your calories
    3. Eat protein at every meal--or stay hungry and grouchy
    4. slash your intake of refined flours and grains
    5. Eat 30 to 50 grams of fiber a day
    6. Eat apples and berries every single day. Every. Single. Day.
    7. No carbs after lunch
    8. Learn to read food labels so you know what you are eating.
    9. Stop guessing about portion sizes and get it right--for good.
    10. No more added sweeteners, including artificial ones.
    11. Get rid of those white potatoes.
    12. Make one day a week meatless.
    13. Get rid of fast foods and fried foods.
    14. Eat a real breakfast.
    15. Make your own food and eat alt least ten meals a week at home.
    16. Banish high salt foods.
    17. Eat your vegetables--just do it!
    18. Go to bed hungry.
    19. Sleep right.
    20. Plan one splurge meal a week.

    This is all I have to go by right now, and I'm trying to follow them as well as I can. I put my name on the list for this book at the library, so I'm looking forward to reading more about some of the rules.

    Really started trying to follow these this week--skipped extra sugar on my oatmeal, letting the peaches be the only sweetener. Had a meatless day yesterday. Limited myself to one cup of coffee (I drink mine with sugar & half and half). It will be tough, but I guess trying (and missing some of the rules) is better than not doing any of it!

    You had me until the "no carbs after lunch" and "no white potatoes" malarkey.

    I eat fairly clean, and damn, I love my carbs. And I lose about 3 lbs a week on average... not starving myself. I keep my protein over 100g (except yesterday, ugh), my sodium under 1400mg (most days it's under 900mg because I swell like a dead horse in summer), and I drink a gallon of water a day on average (hot green tea included, yum).

    It's all about eating healthy. No one needs "rules".... rules seem so restricting (probably because they are)!

    Just..... eat.... healthy. Everyone knows how to do that.

    Why would anyone want to go to bed hungry? Why would anyone want to ever be hungry to begin with? Idiotic. Bob Harper is a fraud. Google about how he really treated contestants on biggest loser and how he pushed them to dehydrate themselves before weigh-ins to compete. Follow Bob Harpers rules if you want the quickest way to an eating disorder.
