Ultimate Sports Nutrition

Summary: Waste of money
Review: I bought this book to get simple and to the point information on how to put up a healthy and efficient nutrition plan for bodybuilding and martial art purposes. This book failed to deliver.

The book had very simple (I mean EXTREMELY simple) definitions of what protein, carbs and fats are, but nothing more about them. Then it briefly described vitamins and minerals. That's all ok, but does it help yet? No it doesn't. When it comes down to figuring what to eat and how much, you can throw this book out the window. How much weggies? How many fruits, what kind? You're on your own.

The book then goes on to describe the "ultimate" supplementation plan. BCAA's ok. Then you get a whole chapter on Bee Pollen(!) and many chapters on other (stuff) that nobody would buy today. The stuff mentioned in this part of the book is just so outdated (...) that it is sad and disturbing stuff to even read. The book has not been updated for creatine, vanadyl, MRPs or anything from the 90s.

In the end of the book, there are three chapters on weight management (gaining, losing, peaking for competition). The gaining chapter is too simple, gee eat more. That's about it. The weight loss chapter is not much better (but a little bit yes). I think the third chapter may actually help some competitive bodybuilders, but I haven't tried it.

Last part of the book is a collection of some food recipes. I didn't find much of interest there.

I found this book to be a major disappointment and mostly waste of money. Unless you have no idea whatsoever about what carbs, protein and fats are in the most basic sense, you are better off with some other book.

Summary: Good informative facts about nutrition
Review: This is a book I brought while I was competitively bodybuilding. It is not a book you buy to set up a nutrition plan/diet. It explains the benefits of putting certain things in your diet. It's really written for someone who is into competitive bodybuilding. If you are looking for a good healthy diet this book is not for you. If you want to know more facts about vitamins, fats, calories, etc. than you would be interested in this book.
