Summary: An incredibly thorough guide, with one caveat
Review: The information contained in this book is as astounding as it is fascinating. Everything you ever wanted to know about the relationship between diet and athletic performance is spelled out in detail. I've bought several sports nutrition books through Amazon.Com, read them all, but this is the one i continue to reference whenever a question arises.One caveat though. Michael Colgan seems to have a very close connection to TwinLab, whose products he (at least openly) endorses every chance he gets. The book is published by ARP, which is owned by Twinlab, as is the magazine AN Muscular Development in which Dr. Colgans brilliant articles appear every month.

Summary: If i had a Pony, id name it Pretty, because ponys are pretty
Review: there is a fine line between books that are great and books that are worthless. this book qualifies as one of them. Wether you are looking to slim up or bulk up, the choice is yours.

Summary: Well documented, but probably biased
Review: This book is for the serious athlete - someone who is really willing to change their lifestyle (eating, sleeping). It is not for the undedicated athlete. Although Colgan documents his suggestions well, I question his biases. I think he has a connection with TwinLab.

Summary: A must for every serious athlete
Review: This book is very informative. I found it to be very helpful in helping the athlete clear the confusion on various subjects, from nutrition, training, or drugs. The book is certainly a great learning tool, and is also helpful for consultation after being read. The only thing I might criticize, is that some of the subjects especially on supplements are outdated.

Summary: Excellent reference tool...although a little outdated
Review: This book serves as an excellent tool for anyone interested in learning more about nutrition, vitamins, supplements, and how they all fit together in the body. There is enough detail presented to gain a working knowledge of nutrition, but it isn't written on a physicians level, making it user friendly. I found this book very informative, better than most of the nutrition books I've read. The one down side is that it is a little out dated. Some of the information on supplement usage is outdated. Regardless, this is an excellent source of information for bodybuilders and other athletes.

Summary: A Must Read For Athletic Performance
Review: This is one of the best literary works I've ever read concerning Sports and Nutrition. Not only does Dr. Colgan, give you the necessary facts concerning the correlation between performance and nutrition, but does so in a manner anyone can understand. A Must Read!

Summary: Best book yet to detail the workings of the anabolic system
Review: This is the best book I have ever read for educating yourself on the bodies inner chemical workings for athletic purposes.

Summary: Optimum Sports Nutrition : Your Competitive Edge
Review: This is the most sane book on nutrition. There are no fad diets, and no crazy anecdotal recommendations, just scientifically based advice to enhance your athletic performance. If some supplement has marginal or unclear scientific evidence he points it out. If there are any concerns with a supplement he lists them. The correct level of supplementation is also defined according to scientific test results. Colgan is very forthright and his integrity comes through. I recommend and loan this book to all my athletic friends and they always have to buy a copy. In Optimum Sports Nutrition Colgan helps athletes seperate the truth from the anecdotal hype. I've read several of his other books and found them to be most helpful for anyone concerned with health and nutrition.
