[.ca] Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition (ISBN 1591201411)

Didn't meet my expectations:
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 . To sum up , the book titled " The Future Of Sports Nutrition " is very far to be considered the Future of sport nutrition. I am not saying there's better books on the market about the subject and i honestly say it's one of the best book talking about nutrition but like i said Nothing new for the Educated Bodybuilder or Athletes seeking to learn more about Nutrition . The Timing the Authors suggests are well known at least by me and i didn't learn anything new in the Field . Persons who get results applying their instructions didn't get serious about training until they read the book . So Final point , Nothing new , good pass time no more . Great Buy For Beginners , Good Add-On for Library for advanced Bodybuilders.

The bible for weight trainers:
Don't tell anyone you have this book -- let it be your secret weapon! Let them wonder why your putting on the pounds more quickly than normal, with less soreness, and more energy. They'll see you with your odd drink *during* your workout (while they have their clear water), but just act like it's a regular protein mix or something. Just tell them your gains are from the extra sleep your getting, or HMB, or new fancy vitamins. But don't let them break you! The fewer people who know about this book, the better it makes us (who know) look. Let's keep this a small club, and let everyone else try to play catch up to our much easier attained gains. I know the book's authors hate my advice, but before the world finally discovers this "bible" of nutrient timing, I want to have my fun on the top of the heap. So, um, that 5-star rating above. It's a mistake. I meant to give this lousy book 1 star. Yeah...that's it. Hopefully Amazon staff will see my error and fix it pronto. Go check out an Atkin's book or something. Nothing more to see on this page.

Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition:
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.

More like an infomercial for Accelerade than a good book:
I carefully read the reviews of this book and purchased it hoping to improve my weight and aerobic training. I reached a plateau in my training and definitely reached the overreaching/overtraining phases. I had hoped this book would provide me some answers. Unfortunately, after the first 50 pages (of which the pertinent information could fit in two paragraphs) I got the point: buy overpriced sports supplements. It is almost as if the authors were commissioned by the sport supplement industry (e.g. Accelerade). Having just recently reclaimed my physical health by designing and following an all natural balanced way of eating I found this book to be disappointing.

Excellent -- if a little difficult -- read.:
Well, the Bad News, first: Let' be honest - this is not easy reading. It's not like one of "Men's Health" articles that say, "Eat this -- not that," with pictures. I've read it through a dozen times now. The Good News? EXCELLENT INFORMATION. It has given me amazing results and gotten me off my plateau. It has really changed the way I work out, for the better. Thank you Ivy and Portman!
