Ultimate New York Diet

Fitness trainer to busy CEOs, new moms, and top celebrity models, David Kirsch's Ultimate New York Diet promotes physical activity and provides specific workout recommendations for even the most time-crunched people. But with severe food restrictions and significant emphasis on supplements (which may or may not be helpful), the diet may be a recipe for disaster for some dieters. The detailed meal plans weigh in well below 1,000 calories during all three phases. And his lists of prohibited foods may be overwhelming and intimidating for readers. In fact, many dieters may fail the plan long before they reach the "lifestyle phase." Supplement mumbo jumbo aside, Kirsch's advice regarding high-fiber vegetables, lean meats, portion control and physical activity is solid. And he offers some fabulous workout instructions for those who live life on-the-go.
