Power Eating: Build Muscle Boost Energy Cut Fat (2nd Edition)
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--butPower Eatingshows 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.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
