Early life
Cruise is the son of Gloria Cansino and Mel Maurer. Casino was a Mexican Cinema star appearing in films alongside Burt Lancaster and Shelly Winters. Cruise was raised in San Diego were he lived with his family and sister Marta. Cruise was raised by his grandmother Maria with oppressive rules and struggled with weight and self-acceptance. After being overweight for most of adolescence and young adulthood, a burst appendix and his father's diagnosis with prostate cancer [2] led Cruise to focus on his own health. He consequently lost over 40 pounds and is now the author of five series addressing weight loss.[1]
After four years as a Sigma Chi, Cruise graduated with his B.A. from the University of California, San Diego in 1994, and studied at Dartmouth College from 1993 to 1994.[3] He received his fitness credentials from the Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and the American Council on Exercise (ACE).[3]

Career
Cruise began his career working for Tony Robbins and was inspired by Robbins to launch his career as a trainer. Several years later, he got his big break when Oprah both hired him as her personal trainer and featured him on her televised show and in her magazine.
Cruise has created a number of different diet plans over the last decade, his philosophy evolving over the years from heavy emphasis on increasing metabolism through building lean muscle (8 Minutes in the Morning,[5] The 12-Second Sequence[6]) to advocating smaller-yet-more-frequent meals (The 3-Hour Diet,[7] Body at Home [8]) to recommending low-carb/low-sugar meal plans (The Belly Fat Cure[9]). After writing his #1 NY Times bestselling book The 100, Cruise shifted his focus to Sugar Calories. Cruise's philosophy has always maintained an emphasis on keeping metabolism high (generally through emphasizing strength training over aerobic exercise) and controlling blood sugar levels (generally keeping them stable through smaller and more frequent meals and keeping them low by avoiding simple carbohydrates and Sugar Calories [9]). In his new book Stubborn Fat Gone, Jorge offers readers a complete 12-week plan full of easy, toss-together meals to get you to Eat Fit(TM), daily support as your coach positively filling your mind with empowering good thoughts to Think Fit(TM), and a brand new style of high-intensity interval training, workouts to burn more fat and specifically target the belly to get you to Move Fit(TM)!
His most recent work advocates focusing on sugar instead of calories in the belief that insulin (the levels of which rise following consumption of sugar and other carbohydrates) increases belly fat.[9] Cruise therefore stresses the importance of reading labels for these "hidden sugars," which he alleges also contribute to heart disease, cancer, and type II diabetes.[10]
Cruise's books have sold more than 8 million copies in over 16 languages.[1] Books from each of his five series (The Belly Fat Cure, Body at Home, The 12-Second Sequence, The 3-Hour Diet, and 8 Minutes in the Morning) along with Tiny and Full and The 100 have become New York Times bestsellers.[1]

Cruise was a cast member of Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian in which he helped a client lose 4 pounds a week for 12 weeks straight using a volumetrics-based diet based on calories as described in his book Tiny and Full.
