THE FOUR-PART JUMPSTART PLAN TO A SKINNIER YOU
• Your Jumpstart Rules: Thirteen must-follow principles to get you ready for your own “big reveal,” including Rule #1, a precise breakdown of the proper protein/carbohydrate/fat proportions for every meal, and Rule #3, which explains why you need to just say no to complex carbs after breakfast during this three-week plan. These are the Rules that Bob Harper and his celebrity clients use to get ready for their big events—and now you’re in on the secrets, too.
• Your Jumpstart Day-by-Day: No decisions, no confusion! Here is the simple, three-week game plan: the food to buy and prepare ahead each week, when and how much to eat each day, and the when and how of your exercise schedule.
• Your Jumpstart Moves: Bob’s unique, twenty-minute, at-home exercise routines. From sit-ups, push-ups, and squats to jumping rope, lateral jumps, and simple chair dips, choose one of the seven “packages” of body-toning moves when your day calls for Bob’s “metabolic conditioning.”
• Jumpstart Recipes: Cleansing or juice fasting? No way! You need to eat to lose weight, so here are twenty-one days of slimmingly delicious recipes—including “Peanut Butter and Jelly” Oatmeal, Sweet Potato Hash, Spaghetti Squash Bolognese, Buffalo Chicken Salad, and Bob’s signature Shrimp Skimpy—formulated with your Jumpstart protein/carb/fat proportions (see Rule #1!) and calorie maximums in mind.

What a great easy to follow plan, but it is missing one HUGE thing: weekly shopping lists! That is really my only complaint. Thanks Bob

If you follow Bob's plan exactly, the plan really does work. The guide itself, however, isn't very user-friendly as an e-book and there are no grocery lists. How can you write a book with three weeks of recipes and not put in a single grocery list??? Thank goodness a simple google search will find one, but seriously? There is a tremendous amount of cooking involved with this diet, so you almost have to set aside one afternoon a week for preparing the week's meals. That's what I had to do in order to make the diet workable for my busy schedule. But by doing this, you can drop 20 lbs in three weeks. I have done it once a year for three years now and it has worked every time!
