Are you constantly pounding away on the treadmill but never losing a pound? Does every step on the StairMaster become more and more painful? Are you tired of endless workouts that only make you want to eat more?
Cardiovascular workouts do burn a few calories, but far fewer than you think. And the more cardio you do, the hungrier you feel. Not only does cardio fail to help you lose weight, but it kills — it kills your time, your energy, your joints, and your motivation. You burn a few measly calories but then eat twice as many afterward. The result? Weight gain — and lots of it.
The Cardio-Free Diet is a revolutionary four-phase program that emphasizes strength training to boost your metabolism; build lean, sexy muscles; and achieve all the same heart-healthy benefits of cardio. With just twenty minutes a day, three days a week, you can look and feel noticeably leaner, stronger, and younger than ever before.
Weight loss expert Jim Karas has shaped the bodies of Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn, Hugh Jackman, and even Oprah's best pal, Gayle King. With easy-to-follow instructions, Jim shows you how to exercise the right way in order to see incredible results. You won't just lose weight — you'll sculpt a whole new physique.
Watch the pounds disappear as you prepare delicious dishes such as apple balsamic chicken, Dijon turkey, feta vegetable omelets, and grilled tomato tuna. You can even enjoy a daily glass of wine! With detailed shopping lists, a variety of daily menus, and helpful tips on how to maintain your diet when eating out or ordering in, you'll never have to worry about what to eat.
The Cardio-Free Diet offers maximum results in minimal time — so break free from the mindless, ineffective cycle of cardio and get the body you've always wanted!

- Some good advise; some not.
- I agree with some of the reviews that the calorie restriction will cause you to loose weight. However, I think his book is sort of misleading becuase while he touts no cardio, if you are doing the weight lifting and going from one exercise to the other with little or no rest, you are getting a cardio workout. It's just not on a treadmill or a typical… More reviews

- Health for Life
- This book has been invaluable. My husband and I are just finishing the eight week (Four Phases) session. We enjoyed the program so much we are repeating the eight weeks. My husband has lost 38 pounds and I have lost 16 pounds, but the most wonderful part is that we have more energy, we are never hungry, and we now have (after all… More reviews
- Rehash and Fluff
- Just a few years back Mr. Karas wrote Business Plan for the Body, which made a real contribution to the field of physical fitness and weight loss. Following his guidelines, I was able to shed sixty pounds of unwanted fat. Unfortunately this particular book is mostly an abbreviated rehash of Business Plan. It's not that the information provided is bad, it's… More reviews
- A Life-Changing Book
- "A life-changing book" is what my 35 year old daughter told me after reading the copy of Cardio-Free Diet I gave her. Using Caras' program, she is very successfully getting back into shape after her second baby in 15 months. I've lifted weights for 30 years but did lots of cardio too. I realize now it was the weight-lifting, not the cardio, that has… More reviews
