The Powerfood Nutrition Plan
If you're like most guys, you want it all. Rippling abs. Bigger muscles. Athletic skill. More energy and brainpower. A disease-free life. Great sex. But, like most guys who want it all, you probably aren't sure how to get it. That's where The Power Food Nutrition Plan comes in. With The Power Food Nutrition Plan on your side, you'll eat your way to a better life, using your favorite foods to overcome obstacles and achieve your maximum potential. No matter what your goal, there's a meal plan to get you there. Want to ward off heart disease? Turn to chapter 7. Want a stomach and chest that look and feel like high-grade body amor? Chapters 3 & 4 are for you. Want to ensure your male machinery doesn't break down when it's time for sex? Chapter 8 is your warranty. When you've accomplished your objective, you'll move on to other meal plans and reap other rewards. Or maybe you'll go straight to the king-of-all-programs, the Full-Power Meal Plan, which will keep your body strong and your mind keen for the rest of your life. Along the way, acclaimed nutritionist Susan Kleiner will guide you through the ins and outs of modern nutrition, using wit and humor to demystify the cutting-edge science behind her programs. With Kleiner as your guide, you'll learn which dangerous foods you should avoid, which "nutrition experts" are actually leading you astray, and how to sort the fad diet trends from the healthy, long-term habits that can make or break your transformation. She'll also help you incorporate The Power Food Nutrition Plan into your life so you can start eating to change your life today and continue for years to come. Susan M.

Reviewer: Johnny Paz

This book is great! It is separated into chapters depending on what your goal is, losing fat, gaining muscle, competitive sports, living longer, better sex. better health, etc.
All you need to do is go to the chapter representing your goal, and when you achieve that goal you can go to the maintenance chapter for eating healthy and keeping your nice body working good for many years to come.
At the end of each chapter there are detailed food menus to help you eat all the nutrients you need in a simple manner. Most of the food is really simple to make (smoothies, sandwiches, granola and milk, etc.) so you don't have to worry about cooking elaborate meals, although if you have someone to do it for you or you have the time and like cooking that is great.
I'm going to stop now, sorry for the long post but this book opened my eyes to how important nutrition is regardless of your fitness goal. If you don't know what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat it then the hard work in the gym will never pay off.
