For all that has been learned over the last couple of years as regards the MYTH of the high calorie – high carb diet, it seems that there are still “experts” who just don’t get it.
This book pushes the old nonsense that you can loose weight by eating more – hint: You will NEVER excrete usable calories. If you eat more then you need you will store it as fat. Doh!
Then this fool pushes some really bad bio chem, you need carbo to build muscle. More fantasy. If you want to gain muscle mass, you must eat amino acids aka protein. Of course you also need to exercise – and for that you need an adequate blood sugar level. If you are metabolising stored fat you will have it. Be a hunter.
Save your money, this book says nothing you have not heard.
If you want to loose weight and or gain muscle buy The Ketogenic Diet.
The book is great source for refrance and it gives a general idea of the diets to follow. very good study case covering and it shows how a diet can make the defrance. BUT the meals in the end of the book is dull and i dont think any body will eat that. and her recomendation for protien use was close to true. The book explained the amount used in studies and not more than that. will some poeple get huge when they consume more protien. The writer had to note that thoughs figures are the start of expremanting with your diets. every body is deferent. IF you are an expreinced bodybuilder or athliet dont if you are a beginner go a head. it’s agood refrance book.
This book was just a review of basic nutrition. There is no new information revealed. How can a non-bodybuilder tell a bodybuilder how to get results? She lacks the practical knowledge that comes with competitive experience. The only helpful section I found was for caloric requirements for each periodization phase. Too little emphasis on protein, way too much emphasis on carbs, and the references for the research needed to be footnoted more clearly. Unless you’ve eaten junk your whole life and don’t have a clue how to turn it around, save your money on this book and go buy some protein powder.
Excellent, excellent book. Very comprehensive, with no nonsense mumble jumble. Everything is explained scientifically but at the same time in a very easy way for those of us neophites.
Everyone who is serious about building a hot body for the summer should own this book!!
I like it but I still prefer Micheal Colgan point of view in is book! Optimum Sports Nutrition
