About The Bodyguard Diet

The Bodyguard Diet: The Life You Save May Be Your Own is a practical “quick-start guide” to better health and fitness. Drawing from his experience as an elite bodyguard, professional athlete and model, author Iztok Plevnik provides readers with a no-nonsense approach that will have them gunning for their goals.

This may well be one of the “slimmest” books on the topic this year, by design. Readers picking up The Bodyguard Diet won’t be weighed down with excess information that often delays starting a new program. Instead, delivering practical tips and strategies that can be put into action right away is the theme here. Basic information about calories, good and bad carbohydrates, protein and fats are not overlooked. They are simply presented in a way that’s easy to understand and reference when needed.

These two excerpts from the book’s introduction describe what you can expect from The Bodyguard Diet:

“Think about the instructions you get when you purchase a new computer, stereo, digital camera or other tech gadget. You can either dig your way through a thick user’s manual, or you can get right to work with the more concise quick-start guide, and refer to the bulky manual later as needed. Most of us would rather get right to work. I take the same approach with The Bodyguard Diet, because it’s your health that is at stake here, and you need to do everything possible to protect it without delay.”

“We are all faced with situations like this everyday. With the pressures of work, family and social commitments, we are constantly compromising on the security of our health. This lack of diet-related strategic planning leaves the body vulnerable to any number of health risks. From chronic fatigue, to obesity, heart disease and diabetes, our guard is constantly lowered when we pay too little attention to what we put in our bodies. The Bodyguard Diet is your crib sheet...a defense strategy that you can put to work for you right now.”
