YES! That is what I mean by body type.

I do not eat clean 100% of the time, if that is what you mean.LOL!!! As far as following the eating program overall...no problems following it...second nature, really.
Great news! Tom encourages a weekly cheat meal...maybe up to 3 a week if your body can handle it. He highly discourages cheat days, though.

Cbelle,
Workouts are important and yes, he does give various recommendations on how and when to work out. I interpreted your comments as "who cares about eating, I want to know about workouts". Eating properly is 80% of your results so I wouldn't just write that off. And I am certainly not trying to twist your arm to buy the book...just wanted to share what I thought was a wealth of information that Catheites would appreciate.
You do sound frustrated but I worry that your question is "how many cheat meals do I get". IMHO, until you change your mindset and think of eating as a way to maintain your health you will probably continue to slide down that spiral but no one can do that but you!
I cannot tell you word for word what's in the book because I am bound by privacy agreement but these are the chapters. Draw your own conclusion.
Introduction
How to Set Powerful, Compelling goals
Why 95% of all Diets Fail
Body Composition, How to Determine your fat to muscle ratio
Charting your Progress, How to Use Performance Feedback
Metobolic Individuality and Your Body Type
The Law of Calorie Balance: The Mathematics of Losing Body Fat
Secrets of Meal Frequency and Timing
Macronutrient Ratios
Good Fats vs Bad Fats: How to speed up Fat Loss
Protein: The Muscle Builder
How to Get as Lean as a Body Builder
Why water is essential for Fat Loss
THe BFFM Eating Plan
Cardio Training Secrets for Maximum Fat Loss
Weight Training for Fat Loss
Conclusion

Like Sarah said, there are too many things we forget to mention because the book is so long and has so much info. In fact, it is quite repetitive, but that's a good thing because that way you remember everything and that's also because each chapter can be read as an independent unit.
Like Sarah said, and I forgot to mention earlier, he teaches how to track your progress and, most important, EXACTLY WHAT ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE according to your recorded results. That is very valuable. I cannot stress enough how illuminating this information is. It teaches you, practically how to be your own nutritionist and fat loss coach! I'm not saying that nutritionists and personal trainers are not useful, but if you can't afford one, BFFM is definitely an option.

Cbelle,
This comment is where I got that impression:
"I've reread all the posts on this book and the only thing I've learned that the book tells you is it will tell you what ratios to eat and that its great. What does it say about what workouts to do and for how long?"
Maybe it's just my interpretation.
