It also comes with a cookbook, a DVD of his presentation, and a CD of handy little MP3s talking about his habits for success. The man is truly a genius.

Jvernacchio, when I read your bit about the 4 cheat meals, I instantly wanted to use my power of 10%....Apparently I have some scary Pavlovian reactions to reading "cheat meal" - I may have to have my mid-afternoon snack early to keep the chocolate cravings away. Thanks a lot!

The 10% rule keeps me sane and from waking up in the middle of a donut shop covered with sprinkles and glaze all over my face. Without it I would have snapped a long time ago.
