Real Science presented in Real Terms,

This review is from: Nutrient Timing (Paperback)
I actually heard about this book at this year's Arnold Expo in Columbus, OH. The book is fantastic because it really explains how nutrient timing has evolved, and more importantly it does a remarkable job of explaining "what" nutrients you need and "when" with hard science to back it up. As a female who works out regularly at the gym to build muscle and stay toned, I often want to take something before or after my workout, but haven't been convinced of what I should be doing. It was fascinating to read just how misinterpreted carbs are and why it's so critical to consume them immediately following intense exercise to build muscle and for faster recovery. This best part of the book is the simplicity.I didn't realize that building muscle is a 24 hr process. Knowing what the 3 phases of muscle development are and what nutrients are needed at what time of the day is already having considerable impact on my workouts....I truly notice the difference and am looking forward to great results. Thank you Dr. Ivy & Dr. Portman....this book is long overdue!

Didn't meet my expectations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nutrient Timing (Paperback)
First , i would like to say that it's a good book . But i think it is more oriented towards beginners in the field of nutrition . I've been bodybuilding for 5 years and educating myself a lot in this sport . If your a person like me who have enough experience in this sport by reading magazines , books and surfing the Internet i recommend you this book only as a add-on for your library . However if your a newbie in the sport and don't have any idea about good nutrition this book will set you on the good way . The Book provides good informations . Beginners will find them breakthrough while advanced trainers will pass on them quickly as they have been mentioned hundred of times in reputable books and magazines . The Content of the book , while about 250 pages can be resumed in no more than 100 pages if not less . The Only real thing you can take from it is to always mix Protein with Carbohydrates for better Insulin Spike wich is a very well known information in the field of bodybuilding at least for the educated trainers . There's a lot of emphasis on The Carb/Pro Drink and Insulin wich is another well known fact . I find the Percentage of protein and carbohydrates that they recommend during and after training very low . I don't see how a 200lbs + bodybuilder can benefit from 6 g of protein and 20 grams of carbs . While a Carb/Pro drink is a good thing during training the ratios must be a lot higher .

Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nutrient Timing (Paperback)
A must read for any strength trainer or bodybuilder. Great insight on what to eat/take and when for your training. The mention of studies got a little monotonous, but the book is well done. Overall, it's a very good buy.
