The Jennifer Nicole Lee Fitness Model Diet: JNL's Super Fitness Model Secrets To A Sexy, Strong, Sleek Physique Hardcover – October 15, 2010

I have to agree with other reviewers that this is basically a giant advertisement for JNL to promote herself-yes there are some good recipes but you can pick up a 4$ fitness magazine and find great recipes as well.I received this as well as her JNL Fusion fitness DVD system fort Birthday and sold both on EBay.While the dvd's did give me great muscle definition,I just could not tolerate her over the top annoyance factor after the program was over.She is just so obnoxiously loud and spent more time applying her bright red lipstick and spray tan then actually doing the workout.Some of the background excercises were just as fake and all the oohs&raja that everyone shouted just made me want to get rid of the dvd's the second I finished.I realize she does have a great body but so do many other trainers that I love to see every morning-she honestly made me dread turning on the DVD player and I don't need a giant book filled with her photos in order to stay motivated.

So far, I like a lot of what JNL has to say in this book. She provides wonderful pictures of the exercises and how they should be done--which, since I bought the e-book, I have handy access to on my phone while I'm working out. I LOVE that part. I also like the light, friendly tone of the book and there are some great beauty secrets besides just fitness secrets.What I don't like--and has kind of derailed my train a little--is the fact that I feel like the entire book is an infomercial. I know the woman needs to make money--but when we get beyond supplements and workout equipment and she is also pitching bathrobes for your "me-time" and comfy throws for power naps...well, it's a bit much. I don't think her "patented" throw is going to help me power nap any better than one I already have, unless it can instantly put me to sleep and wake me up in exactly 15 minutes from that time. I really think for all her pitching in the book for this, that, and whatever product she has--the book (especially the e-book) could have been more like $2 instead of it's actual price. In fact, I think that having the book be an advertisement almost means that it should be free. There are fewer ads on Facebook.I am still going to follow her advice as much as I can, because I feel most of it is sound--but I don't think I should have to buy all the things she talks about to succeed.

After 20 minutes into this book I requested a full refund. I am so sad that a former overweight mother of two has forgotten how hard it is to manage financially, mentally, and physically. I spent money to find information and inspiration. This book just requires you to spend more to learn more! Jennifer Nicole Lee has written a book to brag about how she is the 'greatest fitness star, world wide fitness model, world renowned fitness expert', etc. etc. etc. In the first pages she thanks her parents for how good looking she is (give me a break). Further into the book she writes "To hear my personal story with all the details, and to really get to know me, please visit my instant downloadable audio seminars at www.SHOPJNL.com and click on “My Story.”" (39.95) I have already purchased the book, so I would like to know the story NOW. Her tips are simple: go to the store and buy a solution, go to the dermatologist and buy a solution, and go to my website and buy the solution. I scrolled through the rest of the book and saw that the diet tips can be found in any magazine. Please save your money, there is no inspiration here.

I didn't get much out of it. Jennifer has two children so I wanted hints on how to look fit an fab after having my baby. This book is not geared towards the average mom at all. Jennifer makes a living on her looks so she spends working hours preparing her meals and exercising and toooo much money on skin and health products. I just don't have the time or money that her good looks require. some of the working out tips were good there just wasn't enough of them

Love this book!! useful tips and information along with menus and recipes and workout routines to help you achieve a fitness model physique! This is not a rigorous body builder type training regimen but a guide complete with positive reinforcement and encouragement to achieve fitness goals as well as adopting a healthy lifestyle, and getting that bikini body on top of it!Chock full of quick and easy recipes and meal plans, valuable information on nutrition, supplements and plenty of pep talk as well as advice on developing a positive mental outlook in learining to love ourselves. I had the opportunity to meet Jennifer Nicole Lee in person, and she is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside! Reading this book is the same as having my own personal JNL cheerleader by my side encouraging me every step of the way!

This book, along with everything that Jennifer Nicole does for the last few years, is a platform for you to buy the products she endorses. There are helpful diet and training tips, and she really has an amazing body, but the product referrals are just overwhelming. As for the battle between her book and Tosca Reno's book. Tosca advertises herself and Oxygen mag (which is great magazine BTW)and Jennifer advertises herslef and her paid endorsements. The only BIG differenece is Jennifer looks much better than Tosca, so she is just genetically lucky.Actually I can give you fitness models advise, although I am far for being a fitness model myself:Eat lean protein, vegetables, and very little grains, and strength train 5 times a week. If you got the right genes, you will be a competitor in few months hehe:)

This book sheds so much insight into becoming a fitness model or just a wannabe. Jennifer does a great job of reminding us what's important. She challenged me to charge of my life and get healthy. The fitness/modeling industry keeps a tight lip on so many things, it's a nice refresher to have someone shed secrets on hair, skin, and food just to name a few.

It's more about beauty secrets, and some nutritional nuggets how those women keep their shape but it's not a concrete plan like other books might be.

I bought this along with a couple of other books for reference as I am thinking of entering a bikini or fitness model contest.Firstly the use of the use of the word 'diet' in the title is misleading - very little of the book is about food choices.Secondly the content is more in the form of 'advertorial' with the author trying to sell her branded products and advice forum on every other page. Now whilst this woman may train hard and looks well on it I would like less of her and more of how to achieve.Exercises are explained in a little detail but do not always match with the workout ideas given. The descriptions and details waste a large number of pages if like me you dont need the details (I'm a qualified PT) but are not enough details if you do in places.The greatest use I would make of this book going forward would be to source good tanning or moisturising products. Sadly girls, I'm using a book written by a bloke for my training.

So I already love JNL so I thought I would give it a go. I like all the beauty tips. There is a lot specific brands being talked about which sponsor her so a little bit of advertising but on the whole a good book. If you are just starting to work out then the exercises will be really useful but as a gym enthusiast already it's a bit basic so I would recognise getting a programme from a personal trainer instead.I'm following the sample food plan and I'm really enjoying it. The recipes are quick and easy and most importantly they taste great.Hope this helps.

A book where she just tries to sell every othr of her products. Don't buy it, I'll gladly send you mine for free.

Lovely photos of JNL but the written content is very average. No new ideas/exercises here. The beauty lead chapters I found to be somewhat out of date. Some the receipes are interesting.

I know people are dissing this book saying it's all about her and her advertising her products. Well that's cause it is a book about the life of a fitness model. It says it right on the cover! I found it very motivating reading about her life and how she runs it. I think it's just a plus that she gives you a complete workout, a complete diet to follow and a handful of recipes! I strongly recommend this book for people that just enjoy reading anything about fitness.
