Body for Life- my point of view

About 8 years ago I decided that it was finally time to get in shape. I wasn't really too overweight, and I had been going to the gym for about two years- but I never saw the results Iwanted. I then read Bill Philips' book " Body for Life" It is not a "diet book". It is literally a way to lead your life combining healthy nutrition with a sensible doable exercise program. I never took part in the "body for life challenge", but I did implement his program and it has been part of my life since that first reading. Subsequently Bill Phillips wrote another book " Eating for Life". Eating for Life is an eccellent book of recipes that follows phillips' principle of balancing a portion of carbs with a potion of protein. Both of these books are still in print and I highly recommend both of them. I will be posting comments and my perspective on the various components of the Body for Life program. In addition to following Phillips's principles, I take various supplements including multivitamins, C, fish oil, and Nitric Oxide( NO).
