Product Description
From Amazon
Beyond the fad weight-loss diets, beyond the bodybuilding mythology about excessive amounts of protein for making muscle, beyond the nonsense that circulates about nutrition in the world today, there is a body of scientific knowledge that shows us a road map to our goals. For example, Susan Kleiner shares a formula to determine exactly how much protein the bodies of strength trainers and bodybuilders can use before storing the extra as fat, why amino-acid supplements are a very expensive and somewhat inferior substitute for simple foods such as yogurt and chicken, and why carbohydrates, not protein, are the most important nutrients for muscle building. Many of the recommendations seem so simple--"eat fruits and vegetables," for example--but Power Eating shows us that sometimes the oldest advice in the world is perfectly aligned with modern nutritional science, whereas the complex solutions dreamed up by bodybuilding gurus and supplement manufacturers don't always stand up to rigorous analysis.

good work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Eating: Build Muscle Gain Energy Lose Fat (Paperback)
The thing I liked about this book is that it takes a no-nonsense approach to the confusing area of supplements and protein. In other words it details what works, how much, what should be taken and what's a waste of money, as well as what can be dangerous-(ephedra). You're going to find a lot of useful information in this book. Some might even surprise you. For instance back to the protein; I was on a 300 gram a day diet, getting ready to start competing a contest. I looked good but didn't look quite refined in my quest for a bodybuilding show. I tried everything. But what I didn't try doing was keeping the carbs high, fat low and the protein at a moderate position. I read and quickly took the author's advice.Holy crap!!!! It made such a difference! Not only did I start seeing improvements, but my wallet actually fattened up a bit too. Get this book. You will save a lot of money, and learn a lot too.

Great Book,
By Mark Ladd (Amsterdam, NL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Eating: Build Muscle Gain Energy Lose Fat (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I was no growing. I was watching what I was eating but slowly losing weight instead of growing.The book explains the prinicples of changing your eating habits using common sense that challenges all the Atkin's hype. I have gained 6 kilos in 5 months without gaining much around the waist. It is ONLY suggested for active people looking to gain mass because a 180 lb man is suggested to eat 4000 calories/day. The greatest compliment I can offer is several people have asked me if I have started to take steroids. nope, just eating following this book.

Easy to follow and understand,
This review is from: Power Eating-3rd Edition (Paperback)
I have read quite a few books about sport nutrition over the years. This was by far the easiest to read book covering nutrition for strength athletes. The information in this book is extremely relevant to the trained population; however, the less conditioned population should probably look for nutritional information that is less calorie dense. My reasoning for this is because muscle burns calories while fat doesn't. An unconditioned athlete/person, will have less muscle mass and a higher total percentage of bodyfat thus a lower calorie burning capacity; this books calorie calculations don't compensate for this.Great book, enjoyed reading it.
