Synopsis
Jorge Cruise had the insight that timing has a lot to do with how our bodies handle food. In THE THREE-HOUR DIET, as he did in his previous 8 MINUTES IN THE MORNING, Cruise has designed a health program based on time, here with a three-hour window of opportunity and with a two-pounds-per-week weight loss goal. According to Cruise, diets that deny the body food can actually work against the desire to lose weight: after a few hours without food, the body initiates a self-defense mechanism that burns muscle instead of fat. Using Cruise's plan, we can eat what we choose in a way that will slow down metabolism and help us build lean muscle, which is a fat burner. He provides meal plans that are not depriving as well as an advanced "8-Minute Moves" program. In addition to being a journalist, Cruise is a coach and his encouraging approach is complemented by common sense suggestions for reprogramming our metabolism and our lifestyle for better health.

Publisher's Note

Finally -- a diet plan that lets you eat what you really want and that actually works long-term! Jorge Cruise introduces a revolutionary diet and lifestyle plan that will shed the pounds for good. The answer is not in a grapefruit diet, a cabbage-soup diet, and certainly not in a low-carb diet. Although low-carb diets produce short-term weight loss, nutritionists and medical authorities are now recognizing that the results are not sustainable and can even lead to serious health issues.

What is the solution? Jorge Cruise’s all-new groundbreaking 3-Hour Diet™ plan reveals that timing is the secret. Losing weight and keeping it off is not only about what you eat but when you eat. Knowing when to eat resets the body’s metabolism and turns off its “starvation protection mechanism,” ensuring that fat is released and fat-burning muscle preserved. So get ready to lose two pounds every week using The 3-Hour Diet™ -- with no carb counting, no calorie counting, no starvation, no deprivation, and no exercising.

The 3-Hour Diet™ includes:

  • A recipe guide with options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and delicious treats from a range of homemade, frozen, and fast-food choices
  • A 28-day visual eating planner to promote organization and accountability in meal planning
  • Tips and advice from Jorge’s clients on managing time and making meals on the go
  • A sample mini-week of “8 Minute Moves®” for those who want to take health and fitness to the next level

With his trademark easy-to-follow instructions, accessibility, and client success stories, Jorge Cruise’s The 3-Hour Diet™ is a dynamite combination of proven success and medical innovation. Losing weight and keeping it off has never been easier!

      I can't stand this guy!
    Review created: 03/07/06

    I've never seen Jorge Cruise speak, and have no desire to. There is something about this guy that really irks me. So, keep that in mind as you read my negative review, because I definitely could be unfairly biased.

    That said, Jorge Cruise calls the exercises he recommends "Cruise Moves". Isn't that enough to turn one off? No longer are they ab crunches, for instance, or swiss ball balance moves, they are "Cruise Moves". He now markets flax oil and it's "Jorge Cruise's Flax oil".

    The other criticism I have regarding this book is his recommended snacks. Cruise has a diet plan in place that includes two snacks daily. And, he makes no distinction in the quality of the snack as long as they are equal to approximately 100 calories each. This means that, according to him, two oreos twice per day--every day--is just fine. This might not interfere with weight loss, but these oreos or other foods like oreos are still devoid of any nutritional value and are still NOT good for you. No matter what you want to believe, 200 calories per day made up of 1 tbsp of peanut butter and an apple, or a whole wheat English muffin with cinnamon are both better choices than oreos. And, learning to choose what's better for your health in the long term--which includes learning to say "no" to oreos, is an important lesson to learn, I think. Save those oreos for your cheat meal which you're allowed one time per week.

    He also recommends a tsp of oil with every meal. Flax oil and other fats are very very good for you. Although, I'm not sure it's really necessary if you are eating properly and your diet includes lots of fatty fish, like salmon, and some red meat or chicken and if you use olive oil to cook your foods in. As healthy as certain fats are, they are still heavy in calories. And, no matter what, we still have to burn more calories than we take in to lose weight.

    I'm optimistic that this diet will work, though. He keeps calories to about 1425 per day for women, which is definitely reasonable for a moderately active woman. And, the basic information is compatible with the current health information. Eating every three hours is proven to keep your metabolism moving and to avoid going into starvation mode--which starts burning muscle for fuel-- a state we all wish to avoid.

    You might find Jorge Cruise is right for you. The information in here isn't groundbreaking, although the media would seem to say otherwise. Body for Life is still the best program, I think. I also think The Thin Commandments Diet is good, as are The Abs Diet (watch portion sizes, though, if you're a woman--the Abs Diet is written for men first, although it's great for women. Just decrease the portion size, remember) and-- only if you're truly really dedicated and fairly fit to begin with, The Ultimate New York Body Plan.

    I wanted to buy this book so that I could loose a couple of pounds. But after reading the book I found that it is much more than that, it’s a new way to look at food, not just look at healthy stuff as a way to loose weight but give your body what is needs to be healthy and beautiful. I tried just not eating with the help of diet pills but I hated the feeling that they gave me and I just wanted to be able to eat again, with this book and this diet I feel so good I eat and have lost weight and have so much more energy that feels good. It is an awesome new way to diet that you can stick with and enjoy.
