Target 100 by Liz Josefsberg offers a refreshing perspective on weight loss, cutting through the overwhelming complexity with practical advice and a simplified approach that proves shedding pounds can be enjoyable and sustainable.
I received a copy of this book to read from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. It took me a long time to write my review of Target 100 by Liz Josefsberg because I didn’t want to read it I wanted to put what I was reading into action. So in no particular order here are 5 things I liked about this book.
It’s easy to read, straightforward and fully explained.
You don’t have to make all the changes at once, over a 10 week period you add 1 target a week.
I love the positive point of view from which this book is written. It’s about caring for yourself not beating yourself up for not being perfect.
Reading this book is fun and it’s like having a really smart fitness coach you can carry around with you
It works, I lost weight and feel better ... even that week I had the miserable cold. I am still not the best sleeper and I still love coffee and bacon, but I did give up my candy addiction.
One I really struggled with was the water target and yes I did give up on that one. I do drink more water than I did before but here is the thing I often work 10 hour shifts ... and they are busy shifts... I simply don’t have the time to drink that much water on those days.
If you are looking to make a lifestyle change and feel better about yourself this book is a good tool to help you make those changes. #Target100 #Netgalley
Liz is all about real talk when it comes to her personal struggle to lose weight and her time as a Weight Watchers spokesperson. This book helps you figure out what triggers you to eat unhealthy and how to substitute healthy options to create new habits. This is a fantastic way of making little changes. She also helps you realize that you are bound to make a mistake or slip up from time to time. Instead of giving up when this happens and feeling bad about it, Liz teaches you to accept that you made a mistake and get right back on the horse the next day. The book covers her main 6 steps for making changes. Her "Target 100" includes things like 100 ounces of water each day, 100 minutes of exercise weekly, and 100 grams of carbs daily. These are such easy things to incorporate and change that I feel like this may be a perfect guide for so many more people than the average diet is. I found this book to be very helpful and encouraging. I love how friendly the tone is of the book and how easy Liz is to relate too. The foreword is by Jennifer Hudson and she has lost so much weight and maintained it thanks to help from Liz. This is a must read for anyone looking to lose weight or simply making some healthy changes.
If you want to read about how entertainers, sport figures, and popular journalists lose weight, this is the book for you. This writer gleaned everything she could from Weight Watchers and formed somewhat of a Weight loss program. I cannot recommend this book for those reasons. Don't waste your money.
Target 100 is a great concept, writing by Liz Josefsberg who admits to having tried all of the fad diets under the sun. Her concept emerged from her followings of the WeightWatchers diet movement, and I am really pleased to see that her programme involves going back to basics and simply watching what you eat (but eating exactly what you want), moving more and just generally being more aware of yourself and your body. She goes into a lot of detail about habits and how we can modify these, as quite often our habits and routines are the sticking point for succeeding in diets.
This is a very handy book for anyone that needs a bit more motivation to stick at losing weight, and needs some help in re-training their thoughts.
