Scott Connelly, M.D., a physician, personal trainer, sports nutrition specialist, and sports-supplement designer. His "6-Pack Prescription" is a program of four six-week cycles (strength training, sculpting, fat burning, and maintenance/endurance), each with its own eating plan, exercise program, and optional supplementation. Six months, promises Connelly, will give you the body you want. "To change how you look on the outside, you need to reverse what's happening on the inside" by reprogramming your body to manufacture muscle, says Connelly. He emphasizes "nutrient partitioning," the principle that "a metabolic traffic cop" directs nutrients into fat-burning muscles or parks them as stored fat. Ingredients and additives in the foods we eat cause nutrients to move into the fat-storage parking lot instead of the fat-burning expressway. He recommends eating plenty of high-fiber complex carbohydrates and low-fat protein, and eliminating processed foods containing fructose ("the Stealth bomber of sweeteners"). Although Connelly designed a line of supplements marketed by Met-Rx, he restricts his supplementation recommendations to one short chapter and does not push his own line. Connelly's exercise program focuses on weight training, with 20 exercises divided into four different weekly workout sessions. Illustrations of the exercises, which work all the major muscle groups, include both machine and free-weight options. Charts--both filled in with his prescription and blank for you to log your actual program--are provided for meal planning and exercise. --Joan Price Product Description: Dr. Scott Connelly, founder of Met-Rx, the sports supplement used by millions, has woven his lifetime's experience in physical fitness, body composition, and nutrition science into a precise yet easy-to-follow program for fitness and fat loss.

 Rating:  - Required reading for any fitness enthusiast!Before reading Body Rx, I was shooting in the dark with my diet. The information contained within has helped me break through the barriers that had been holding my weight loss back. Every since putting the information to work in my daily life I've been dropping weight like third period French while improving my muscle mass. I'm never hungry, never unsatisfied and I have never felt better in my life. Rating: - A Professional Resource Very informative data. A must read for those who want to figure out why they can not lose weight.Dr.Scott Connelly reveals foods that affect your metabolism. Focusing on "Fructose" that switches your metabolism from fat burning to fat storage. Great illustrations and diet plans. Substantiated resource, coming from a Harvard graduate, researcher and renowned athetic trainer. Rating: - Great ProgramI visited my cousin last summer who now looks like he should be on the cover of Men's Health. I asked him what he had done to transform his body and he recommended this book. I have been on this program for 12 weeks now. I have always worked out by running and lifting weights and was in fairly good shape but wanted to lose a few stubborn pounds I couldn't get rid of. All the other diets I tried emphasized cutting calories. I would stay on them for a couple weeks and lose some pounds ...

It came very quickly and wrapped excellent book in great condition and I am very proud of it's condition and the service I received from them....thank you Rating: - Incredible results, if you have faith to see it throughDr. Scott's program is not for the faint of heart. The program leans towards the bodybuilder's approach, in that it uses cycling of different phases (bulking/cutting/maintenance), so for the first 2 cycles you are mostly building strength and muscle rather than shedding fat. You are expected to eat far more food than you would on a normal diet, and most people actually feel a little "thicker" during C1 and only start seeing real results between the end of Cycle 2 and the middle of C3. Since many dieters ... Read More
