As an Intro to Scott James book, `Flexible Dieting 101 - Eat the Foods You Love and Achieve the Body of Your Dreams!', this reviewer wrote `Scott James puts himself out there for our benefit. He right up front de-bunks some of the current popular fad diets and nutrition concepts, an feels that if we stick to `clean diets' (no preservatives, refined sugars, trans fats or have undergone any processing) we'll eventually get bored, craving some of those forbidden fruits we all desire. His concept of Flexible dieting is a lifestyle (`a calorie is a calorie and which source it comes from will have no effect on body composition') and as long as we understand the concept of IIFYM (If it Fits Your Macros') and macros then it is easy to follow his ideas.'Now here he steps forward with a cookbook to further assist us in his concern for our health. As he states in his preface, `The recipe within this book include breakfasts, main meals, snacks and desserts, protein smoothies and sides. All of these meals are loaded with flavor, and even better they are loaded with protein and nutrients.' What follows are 160 0fhis favorite muscle building and fat burning recipes and what makes them additionally helpful is that he makes them so easy to prepare.Of course he takes the time to explain calorie sources - protein, carbohydrates, fat, alcohol - and the obvious preferences as food sources. And he gives a reprise on his explanation of BMI calculation.Then we are off to some of the tastiest recipes imaginable - and all are high n protein to build muscle and shred fat. Each recipe indicates the number of servings, preparation time, ingredients, method of preparation, and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat, calories).  And just as with his previous book mentioned above, James offers his information in a most user-friendly manner - and the recipes are excellent! Grady Harp, December 13
