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 just bought this book :). I do have a question…does the book give you sample meal plans? I tend to get in a rut with eating and can’t think of different food options. Love the show! Thanks!
No, there aren’t sample meal plans, but you simply choose items from each category for either a low or high carb meal, and you’re good to go! The book does have lots of quick and yummy recipes, too. There’s an awesome graphic (as well as some other helpful info) in this post that might help: https://heidipowell.net/4514/carb-confusion/. Hope it helps!
Which book should I use to help? And which stage should I do?
Get “Choose More, Lose More for Life,” and you can choose whichever cycle best fits your schedule and goals. And you can change cycles at any time. There’s a section in the book that helps you choose which cycle to begin with. Happy carb cycling!
sometimes i feel alone
Hi Heidi! I am doing this way of eating/life and I’m SO happy with how things are going. This has got my binge monster under control and I’m feeling so much better PLUS losing weight! WIN/WIN/WIN for me! I have a question, please. I was told that we should eat the proper portion size of fat everyday for breakfast. Is this true? I thought eating fat for breakfast was limited to low carb days. Can you help me with this? Thanks so much in advance and just LOVE your site! Linda Shields
You and chris are awesome would love to win a copy of this and change my life
look forward to reading this book
Hey!!!!
I don’t know if anyone can answer this for me. I am finishing up a cleanse and will be switching over to the Classic cycle starting Monday. I have no concerns with the nutrition component. I was just wondering if the exercise component has to be structure the way it is in the book? I consistently go to the gym 4-5 times per week and either do 1 hour strength training workouts or 30-45min of cardio (elliptical or running/intervals) or a combo of strength/cardio. Can I maintain this or should I change my workout routine as well.
Thanks for the help.
Nicole
I would love to know this as well. I go 5-6 days a week and take group classes. Barre and spin and I run occasionally
If your current workout program includes both strength training and cardio, then you’re good to go! Just make sure your cardio falls within the suggestions for the Shredders in the book.
Hello, I bought the ebook for my kindle. I would like the logs for the turbo cycle but can’t get them printed from kindle. Is there a link I could use to obtain them?
I had the same question. I tried to photograph them from the kindle but it won’t work. I think I may have to buy the actual book as well.
I too am looking for a soft copy of the logs. Has anyone come across them?
I’m so sorry, but we don’t have a soft copy of the logs available.
I just finished The book Choose more Lose more. I want to do the Turbo cycle at 1500/2000 calories but I WANT to count calories. How do you convert a protein shake into a fist? Can you tell me how many calories per day I need to eat of Protein, Carbs and Fat? Thanks,
Mike
