I know this is one of the most anticipated diet/fitness books of the year:
Men's Health TNT Diet: The Explosive New Plan to Blast Fat, Build Muscle, and Get Healthy in 12 Weeks
by Jeff Volek, Adam Campbell
Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: Rodale Books (October 2, 2007)
"This revolutionary program, based on groundbreaking scientific research, shows men how to use Targeted Nutrient Tactics (TNT) to trade their fat for muscle.
Diet and exercise were an either/or proposition before the TNT Diet: in any plan, you either burn fat or build muscle. But now, gathering scientific principles, hundreds of interviews with coaches, trainers, and bodybuilders, and testimonials from men and women who have used the diet, authors Campbell and Volek have created a diet-and-exercise plan that allows readers to blast fat while building muscle in one smart, easy-to-follow program. Best of all, it only requires following simple nutritional guidelines along with three, 30-minute workouts a week.
The secret ingredient in the TNT Diet is the body's own glycogen, which holds the key to our metabolism. By controlling the intake of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, dieters can eat all the foods they love as long as they eat them at the right time.
The Men's Health TNT Diet is filled with the nutrition information readers need including recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists, plus an around-the-clock eating guide. More than 150 photographs and a detailed fitness program give readers of any fitness level the power to get started and stay committed."
