If you are serious about weight training, you have probably experienced the "plateau phenomenon." You train harder, you consume extra protein in your diet, but you just don't get the strength and power gains that you want. For the last ten years sports nutrition has focused on "what" to eat. The latest research from leading sports science labs now shows that "when" you eat may be even more important. Nutrient Timing adds the missing dimension to sports nutrition, the dimension of time. By timing specific nutritiion to your muscle's 24-hour growth cycle, you can activate your body's natural anabolic agents to increase muscle growth and gain greater muscle mass than you ever thought possible. Nutrient Timing is the biggest advance in sports nutrition in over a decade. By apply the principles of the Nutrient Timing System, you'll be able to deliver the precise amounts of nutrients needed at precisely the right time to optimize your muscle-building agents and maximize muscle growth, while minimizing muscle damage and soreness after a hard workout. You'll even be less susceptible to colds. You can actually sculpt a better body with more lean muscle mass, less fat, and more power without changing your exercise program or even you total caloric intake. "Nutrient Timing" will show you how.

Summary: revolutionary
Comment: I think this is one of the best books I ever read / followed. The concepts are awesome, the results so far are amazing. I wish I would have found this sooner. It's the better than ANY supplement I ever tried. A 10$ used one is the best mony ever spent! This book change my line of thinking about nutrition forever.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Excellent book for those interested in maximizing Strength Training
Comment: The book is very thorough! The authors poured over quality scientific studies to determine at how, when, why, and how much you should supplement with types of Protein, simple/complex Carbohydrates, Aminos, Vitamins, and minerals in the pre, during, and post workout periods.
High POINTS: The chapter summaries and key points are very nice to cement in what you have learned.
It is not your standard exercise/fitness/nutrition book stating "I did it this way, now I am selling my book." Nor is it a collection of pictures showing dudes stating "I gained 14.7 pounds in 12 mins, you can too by drinking snake oil."
Criticism: The book is redundant, continually restating the same points over and over again. Maybe it is to beat it into your head?
I am going to buy "Performance Zone" a follow up book that covers aerobic training as well.
Happy LIFTING!

Summary: body building nutrition
Comment: I have read many books on body building, beginning with Arnold's and then nutrition related texts for support of what I am trying to achieve. This book has added what for me was a missing aspect in my attempts at success because with only two small changes in my methodology I have had good gains in only seven workouts.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Could be much shorter - like 2 or 3 pages
Comment: To sum up the book: Drink a quickly digesting protein/carbohydrate drink within an hour of training. 40 grams protein, 60 to 80 grams carbs. Whey protein with Dextrose, Waxy Maize, etc.
All the rest is just the science which you really don't need to know about.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I got it half price and felt cheated
Comment: If you know less than nothing about nutrition, spending five minutes on Google will give you more useful information than reading this book. If you want to buy a book, this one would be at the very bottom of my list.
It's misleading and dishonest in the way it promotes itself.
It says the nutrient timing can be divided into 3 phases. It describes the first phase, it then goes on to describe the 2nd phase but forgets and carries on describing the first phase. As far as I can see all three phases are roughly the same.
So I propose a new "revolution" as the authors call it: Nutrient timing can be divided into one big phase and I'm going to call it "Life" and it's exactly the same as the Phase 1, 2 and 3 of this silly book. What I propose is you eat adequate carbs, protein and fat, before during and after working out. I'm going to call it a revolution and publish it in a book. I'm going to pad it out with schoolboy essays about the different nutrients to make it look like it's backed by science when it isn't.
I got this book half price and feel like I've been robbed, it's really that bad. Badly written, misleading, dishonest and just not worth even half the price.
