Conclusion

Bodydoctor is a relatively compact book, at 192 pages. The pages are laid out with large full-color photos and little text. From what can be seen of the book online it seems to be not much more than an illustrated exercise manual. There is supposed to be a nutrition section, but little information appears on that feature. The name of the contributing author isn’t even mentioned online. Instead of comprehensive information the marketing strategy for Bodydoctor relies a lot on mentioning David Marshall’s celebrity clients and their success stories. But the average reader, who doesn’t have access to the personal assistants, chefs, trainers and stylists that celebrities rely on, might want more reassurance that a program will work; and the marketing for Bodydoctor just doesn’t supply that. In addition, fitness books, even the very good ones, are not necessarily weight loss tools. They rely too much on self-motivation to keep users involved in their programs. They don’t address the food cravings and energy slumps that may cause a dieter to give up on their goals. Overall fitness is a great thing, but the consumer seeking weight loss as well may need to add a supplement to help them burn fat and boost metabolism. There are a number of proven, well-researched diet aids on the market that would serve the needs of those consumers. Look for real clinical research over celebrity endorsements to find the best product for your needs.
