Live extra lean. Transform your body for life. And never feel bad about food again.

As one of today's most beloved personalities on TV and hailed by People as the country's hottest bachelor, Mario Lopez is arguably known as much for his glowing personality as he is for his rock-hard abs. In his first diet book, Extra Lean, Lopez imparts his fool-proof plan for permanent weight loss while eliminating the guilt from enjoying the foods you love. The Extra Lean plan trains your body to constantly burn fat by following three simple steps: 1) Balance your daily intake of carbs, protein and fat 2) Practice proper portion control and 3) Eat frequently throughout the day.

Along with health physiologist and personal trainer, Jimmy Peña, and renowned nutritionist, Dana Angelo White, Mario clearly identifies optimal combinations of daily nutrients, transformative eating habits and invigorating mental conditioning tools that will truly redefine your approach to food.By following this plan, your metabolism will become a fat-burning machine allowing you to splurge on special days, weekends or vacations with little to no effect on the scale.

With over 40 delicious and easy-to-follow recipes and a seven-week meal plan, Extra Lean is the complete program to change your body and the way you eat for life. ... Read more

Great book
Great diet book with delicious, healthy recipes.I've tried many diet books, but this is by far the best one and has got me to follow a new way of eating.An added bonus is that my kids and husband love the food too, & in fact, ask for it.
Good job Mario!

The book that changed my life
I do not follow the Extra Lean plan step by step but I mix the recipes as much as I want according to how they fit into my daily routine / my schedule and also depending on what I like to eat today. In order to have a certain control over what I eat, I use the Weight Watchers points system but use the recipes from this book.

Most important: It works! I have lost 20 pounds already in four months! I look and feel better than ever. I still need and want to lose some weigth though.

Whats also important: I have never eaten better in my whole life before. The recipes are delicious!! My favorites are the Chicken Teriyake Salad, the Bulgur salad, and the garden salad with avocado and dried tomatoes. As you can see, I am a salad fan! But there are also many other great recipes in there.
My friends actually envy me for the delicious meals I have. They say: "How come you'r eating more delicious than I do. And you're on a diet and I'm not!?"

Also: I am a vegetarian. And it works just fine. Many of the recipies are for vegetarians anyway.
And many recipes have chicken in them. I live in Germany and we have vegetarian chicken here which works perfectly for the recipies in the book.

All in all, I can really recommend the book. Even if you do not want to follow the plan step by step. Or even if you're not on a diet because I am sure you will love the recipes just the same.

pleased!
The item was shipped in a timely manner and I recived it way before the approx date!
Will use again!

The results are real.The weight loss is real.Your low cholesteral levels, low sugar levels, and low sodium levels, are real.

Scientific Nutritional Advice and Easy-to-Do Exercises
What I immediately noticed is the solid nutritional advice of Mario.I do also agree that one should plan for a diet that consists of around 2500 to 2600 calories.It has been proven that as far as weight control and greater energy is concerned, eating 5 small meals a day of about 500 to 600 calories per meal is best.

The professional gym has been glamorized so much, that tacitly, one would think that there is no hope to work out at home and have success.Mario shows great alternatives of exercises for working out at home as well.Good book.Good job.

Viva Mario!
Beautiful color photogrpahs...practical illustrated exercise programs...excellent nutrition information and dietary suggestions...truly the best comprehensive "knockout" fitness program I have ever encountered for teens through seniors, male and female.And, Mario is an excellent model and practitioner for what he preaches.

Outstanding Fitness Book
I have read hundreds of fitness books, attended hundreds of exercise gurus sessions, however, this book by Mario Lopez finally has given me the correct knowledge on how to stay fit for life. Through weight lifting, cardio, yoga, boxing, running, eating properly, I have noticed that my body has changed and I feel younger than ever before. I am 57 years-old, and my Doctor has recently told me that I have a body of a 40 year-old! My students could not believe that I actually have muscles! Thanks for the advice, Mario. I suggest that everyone who wants to stay in shape, to get this book. You will NOT be disappointed!

Amazing Book
Excellent book with some challenging aspects, a realistic point of view when it comes to working out.

It definitely works If you stick with it
Written with a very motivational languagge together with a lot of nice and motivational photos but better for beginners it think. If you are a professional or at least a mid pro so there are still some tricks to learn from this book but not sure if it completely fits with your expectations or not. ... Read more

A must have!
This book is for everyone!! Just got the book last night, and we have already read it 5 times! My 4 year old loves the storyline about "pretending," and my 1 year old seemed to enjoy the vivid illustrations. I love that I am reading a book to my children that features the latin culture and promotes bonding with extended family. This book definitely brought back memories of the good times I shared with my cousins at my grandmother's house as a child. I am buying several more copies of this book today to give to my cousins and their children!
