Book Reviews of Gourmet Nutrition: The Cookbook for the Fit Food Lover
Book Review: ABSOLUTELY THE BEST Cookbook for Fitness Enthusiasts and Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot say enough positive things about this book. I have bought a few cookbooks that are geared for athletes and fitness warriors but they always fell short. This book was well thought out and planned and delivered on all points. The book is very easy to use, yet flexible and powerful enough to allow you to achieve whatever physique goals you may have, whether just simply looking to get in shape, drop body fat, put on muscle, prepare for bodybuilding or other athletic competition. This book is written by individuals that understand athletes, performers, and everyday folks, realizing that no two people are alike and how its important to experiment with your nutritional breakdown to determine what's right for you.
Here is what you get, many of which I have yet o find in other books.
PROS
* Large and small servings ideal for men or women and can be adjusted if cooking for more than one person.
* Post-workout and anytime meals. I don't recall seeing this feature elsewhere, but this helps me out tremendously, knowing which meals have that extra carb content
* Main and side dish pairings, so you can have your protein and decide which side dishes u want to use for your carbs, whether low carb or more complex.
* Meal templates to use if u wish according to whatever time of day you work out.
* Section of food preparation tips for those that need it and those who want more efficient ways of cooking.
* Tools and equipment so you know what to have in your kitchen and cabinets. Its not complicated because most people have these utensils already.
* Breakfast, Shakes & Smoothies, Meats (include game meat like venison and bison), Poultry, Seafood, sides, snacks, salad dressing.
* Nutritional breakdown of protein, carbs, fats, fiber, sugar, that is easy to understand and duplicate in the recipes.
* Recipes that are simple and do not require a large amount of ingredients.
* Variations and Options which is perfect for those that are either lactose intolerant or want to eliminate or keep their dairy consumption to a minimum.
* Color photos of every recipe.
* Preparation, Marinade and Cooking times are provided, and most food is done within 30 minutes.
* Suggestions on how to make a meal be post-workout (more carbs) or take away the carbs. Its all healthy carbs so its not a low carb diet just the best carbs which is highly important for athletes and those fitness enthusiast.
*
CON
The only thing I wish was better was the spine if the book. while most recipes you are able to lie the book open and flat I wish there was a spiral binder which would make the book even better. Maybe that's something the writers and publishers should consider for next time.
ALL iN ALL I LOVE THIS BOOK AND CANT' PRAISE IT ENOUGH. It is money well spent and my waistline and heart thank me very very much!
