Each season, millions of viewers tune in to see Chris Powell lead extraordinary transformations on ABC?s breakout hit Extreme Weight Loss. Now, building on his basic weight-loss philosophy introduced in his bestselling book Choose to Lose, Powell has created a transformation plan anyone can follow?one that recognizes that no two weight-loss journeys are the same, and that more options mean long-lasting results.
At the center of Powell?s new book, CHRIS POWELL?S CHOOSE MORE, LOSE MORE FOR LIFE, is his carb-cycling plan, which kicks your metabolism into full gear by alternating between low- and high-carb days. Been carb-cycling but need to shake things up?
This book provides four different carb-cycle options to help readers find a plan that fits them best:
- The Easy Cycle is designed for people who are just starting their journey;
- The Classic Cycle is the basic plan that rewards you a boosted metabolism with fast weight loss;
- The Turbo Cycle accelerates and intensifies carb-cycling results so you can reach your weight loss as quickly as possible;
- The Fit Cycle is for those who are already super-active but want to drop some weight.
Powell also shares new workout challenges to put your body in motion and get your heart pumping. He understands that weight loss plateaus when we get bored. So in this book, he focuses on choices?including twenty new workouts called 9-Minute Missions?that pack maximum results into minimum time. Sections in the book include advice on how to:
- Shape Your Body in Just 9 Minutes Each Day: Each mission targets one of the three zones of your body?upper, core, and lower?and it doesn?t matter how many repetitions or rounds you complete it in. He writes, ?We squat when getting in and out of a car, we crunch when we sit up in bed, we push when getting off of the ground, we run when we need to get somewhere quickly. Every exercise in the 9-Minute Missions incorporates these fundamental movements of the human body.?
- Find More Easy Recipes with Foods You?ll Love: Powell offers more delicious and easy recipes with foods you?ll love, to help you maintain and enhance your transformation. He shares tips on portion control, advance preparation for healthy meals, ingredients to add zest to your food, and food substitutions to keep you eating well. His plan allows you to eat the foods you crave and still lose weight.
- Follow More Tracking Logs to Keep You Motivated: The book includes a 4-week personal log to detail each week?s workouts, accomplishments, challenges, and broken promises, plus a section to recommit to your goals. He asks questions such as: At the end of the week, have you kept your promise? Did you eat every three hours? Take walks on your lunch break? Powell encourages readers to keep a daily log of successes and setbacks to measure their progress and help fulfill weight-loss goals.
- Read More Success Stories to Inspire You: Powell shares inspirational success stories of people who have transformed their lives using his carb-cycling and fitness plans. As readers write their own stories, they can learn how others have conquered dieter?s plateau, shaved off inches from their waistline, built lean, strong muscles, and increased their energy level.
With CHRIS POWELL?S CHOOSE MORE, LOSE MORE FOR LIFE, you will always be challenging your body and changing your resistance training regimen, so your body will never plateau and never stop moving forward. Each day and each week, Powell empowers you with tools to physically, mentally, and emotionally transform your body and your life.

I realy love Watching Chris on EWLE. I have one question I have a very busy days and dont always have time to read the book. It would be great if Chris’s book were out on audio cd or on dvd’s. I am a 41 year male that has been dealing with being extreamly overweight just about my whole life as far back as I can remember. I was active in Sports when is was younger but as time went on I stopped. I did not notice it before but I look to food for comfort. I don’t eat all the time I mainly eat dinner each night but rarly do i eat breakfast or lunch. I am in the low income and reley on Food stamps to be able to feed my family me my wife and 3 children wife is unable to work do to a knee disabilty and Depression so i’m the only source of income I see myself when we’er out of food I can’t wait until I have food in the house once food is aroud I eat to try to fill me up but I overeat. when i do I feel like I’m a shame and what do i do go to food for comfort I love going to the gym. but dont go as much as i should. I lack motivation I’m not afraid to work out its just all the gyms around here you dont see overwieght people in them all you see are muscle grow people and the look at you and some evan laugh at you so i dont go. Now I see in my children the same thing I’m doing I need help before I mess up me childrens lives I need help on to set a good roll model for my children. Please Chris or Heidi I need help
I can’t wait to own that book!
All my life I have always been the one the struggles with my weight. I need help and I know your book will give me the information on how to change my eating habits to a life time change! I’m not sure what carb cycling is, but I know Carb cycling works, because you help others in this area. Thank you Chris for a time like this!
I’ve been on a constant roller coaster with trying to find that balance and personal motivation to keep myself in the right frame of mind when it comes to my workouts AND nutrition. I am victim to routine, basically because I don’t know the real right way to work out. I’ve taken group fitness classes, had a personal training session, even changed things up by adding yoga and spin into the mix, but I feel like I’m always BARELY making it through. I am not out of shape, but I’m not in the shape I want to be in. I would love the guidance from Chris, someone I truly respect in his passionate and personal ways of communicating the right and wrong ways of getting on that balanced and healthy way of living. It would be an honor to win his Choose More, Lose More For Life… PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!
My family of four which includes my husband and myself along with my two girls Quinn Xingue and Raimi Yuyu love watching your show every week!!! My girls are 9 and 11 and get so excited and passionate while watching your show as do I!!! I would love to win the book since I promised my husband I would not buy one more diet book!!!!! I still have some weight to lose and I think the carb cycling could get me there!!! Thank you !!!! We love the POWELL’s!!!!!
