Phillips arranges all his own training program into a 12-week program, along with nutritional and motivational tips. Be warned that the nutritional advice gets a little spacey. For example, he puts "
carbohydrates" and "vegetables" into separate categories, and recommends three daily doses of a nutritional supplement called Myoplex, which his company manufactures. (Fortunately, he gives tips on ho
w to make each dose taste different, such as by adding drops of peppermint extract.) Despite this strangeness, Body for Life still motivates because so many others have achieved astounding results in
similar 12-week windows, and the pictures and testimonials are here as evidence

"The information Bill Phillips gives in Body for Life are solid, scientifically-based nutrition and exercise principles. In your review, you state that he promotes his own supplements. While he did us
ed to be the CEO of EAS, he has resigned, and is committed to having 1 million participants of BFL by the end of 2001. He even states that supplements are not necessary to achieving results, but are s
imply an easy way of obtaining optimal nutrition. Also, vegetables are not carbohydrates - fruits are. The nutrition and eating plan he suggests is recognized globally as being the best way of eati
ng to promote metabolic efficiency and reduce the need for the body to conserve excess fuel. "

Most people in America have been conditioned to believe they should 'coast' through life as much as possible -- they should avoid 'pressure situations' and gravitate toward circumstances where no one
is demanding anything from them, explains Phillips in the book. "You see, the truth of the matter is that it's through pressure or 'stress' that we evolve -- that we grow."

To harness the power of positive pressure, start with regularly subjecting your muscles to a healthy dose of stress by working out. Then, invite other challenges back into your life. Rather than run f
rom pressure situations, or pretend they don't exist, face them. Seek them out. In doing so, you'll find that positive pressure brings out your best. You'll be raising it to a new, higher level, says
Phillips.
