Very well written and easy to understand, even if you don't have a lot of experience counting calories and macros. I wish I've read this book when I first started my fitness journey, as it would've saved me a lot of time.
The best thing about this book is that at the end of each chapter there's a small table summarizing the most important ideas and suggestions. You may want to check out Eric's other book on the topic of training before reading the one about nutrition. Some of the terms are explai Very well written and easy to understand, even if you don't have a lot of experience counting calories and macros.
Some of the terms are explained in greater detail in the other book and just briefly mentioned in this one.
Note that if you're just looking for general info on nutrition, this may not be the book for you. The information presented is geared towards specific body recomposition and fitness goals. So unless you're interested in strength training, you won't benefit a lot from learning about protein timing or setting up your macronutrient ratio. However, if you're already lifting weights and looking to understand how to take care good care of your body, stay healthy and hit your goals in terms of aesthetics - I highly recommend reading this book.
I had been lifting weights for almost a year and my progress stalled. I tried perfecting technique, using creatine and whatnot but the answer was in that book and the answer: eat right. The book helped fixing that. Using their top to bottom approach in terms of importance you will set a calorie budget, set your macros carbs, fat, protein goals for different needs bulking or losing weight , know how much pro I had been lifting weights for almost a year and my progress stalled.
Every statement is supported by scientific evidence but also easy to chew and understand. I highly recommend to anyone in any sport, especially in weightlifting. May 30, Adam McNamara rated it it was amazing Shelves: health , nonfiction. It explains what concepts to focus on, from most to least important.
The Pyramid is five levels: 1. Energy balance 2. Macronutrients 3. Micronutrients 4. Nutrient Timing and Frequency 5. Supplementation Each section explains the concept's role in nutrition and provides simple rules to implement. For optimal performance, an athlete should master each concept in order before moving on to the next.
The book is written extremely well. It's easy to read - using simple language to explain complex topics. It's succinct - having enough detail to understand but not too much as to overwhelm.
Finally, it's logical - anticipating readers' questions and answering them. Sep 08, Dblinkzz rated it it was amazing. Short concise book, no bullshit, direct to the point and with great great great recommendations for any dieter that's looking to have long term results.
This is easily the top 3 books that Iv'e read in nutrition, ever. One thing that made me add additional points, as opposed to, for example Tom Venuto's "Burn the fat feed the muscle" is that, this book doesn't spend one entire chapter talking about the author's accomplishments and accolades, he starts right of the first page talking about nutriti Short concise book, no bullshit, direct to the point and with great great great recommendations for any dieter that's looking to have long term results.
One thing that made me add additional points, as opposed to, for example Tom Venuto's "Burn the fat feed the muscle" is that, this book doesn't spend one entire chapter talking about the author's accomplishments and accolades, he starts right of the first page talking about nutrition, about the importance of each part of the pyramid he designed, then he starts talking about each part of the pyramid with examples so you can adjust the examples to your own and apply them on you.
This value is insane, you are talking about a pro natural bodybuilder who coaches other natural bodybuilders and powerlifters, someone who has a PhD in exercise science and programming workouts for muscle mass, and he is creating a valuable book where he lays down his strategies for coaching other athletes.
This might as well be his personal notebook to go and check for notes when deciding how to help an athlete what to change in his nutrition to keep improving. Great book, but it's maybe not for complete beginners just looking to dive into learning how to eat correctly, if you have been lifting for 6 months or a year and you want to improve your body composition though and you have general notions of how to count macros and calories, dive right in. Mar 31, Eduardo Urias rated it it was amazing.
This is an excellent book with concise advice on the nutrition essentials for those looking to understand whats behind many fad diets and nutritional advice we commonly hear on the internet. The Pyramid abstraction is a great model to prioritize the knowledge and allow the reader to concentrate as much as they can before moving to the next layers by following the studies references in the book.
Mar 20, Mike K rated it it was amazing. While a lot of the info was known to me already, some ideas I had established in my head were challenged. Six programs for novice, intermediate, and advanced-level bodybuilders and strength-focussed athletes.
Our quick-start programming guide will show you how to apply all the principles that go into program design. The structured order of importance is what makes this book different. Learn what matters and when. Learn how to balance adherence, consistency, and flexibility so you can live your life while progressing toward your goals.
Few people know how to strike the right balance when they talk about training. Some people make it overly technical, which makes it easy for the reader to miss the forest for the trees. Others dumb it down way too much, and miss critical nuance. Eric, Andy, and Andrea have struck the perfect balance. This a must-have for anyone looking to take their training to the next level.
There is no gimmick by the authors to make more money and the training principles here are not mired in confusion. Rather, the work on the Internet that we wish existed previously is now available; and if you are a novice or intermediate this book will help you bypass the stage of confusion.
