Muscle Meals: A Cookbook to Build Muscle and Lose Fat

This book contains many tasty foods for the bodybuilder. It also introduces the reader to the use of Vege Fuel in many of the dishes. I have enjoyed the entire work very much and would recomend it to anyone. The people that gave this book one star must have a personal problem with the author, because I found this book to be very good.

WOW! I can't believe I can eat chocolate cake on my diet. I compete in bodybuilding and have to diet most of the year. Thanks to John Romano, now I don't feel like I'm missing out. If you want to eath healthy great tasting meals that keep you lean - buy this book.

As the Director of the Intrafitt Performance Nutrition and Exercise Center at Gold's Gym, Venice for the past ten years, I've had the pleasure of working with thousands of professional, olympic, amateur and armchair athletes, clients with diabetes, heart conditions, medical concerns, dieting histories, life changes, families; people from every walk of life. I am also a professional adventure racer, and have my own nutrition and exercise program to adhere to. One of the best tools I have in my nutrition counseling is John Romano's Muscle Meals. Professionally, Muscle Meals teaches clients how to prepare extremely healthy gourmet meals, greatly increasing their compliance toward their fitness goal or body composition. Each recipe has a complete listing of it's nutritional breakdown and is presented in an easy to follow manner. The recipes and food ideas are simple and quick, with taste and diversity that would seem laborious, but take minutes, not a full day to prepare. Personally, since I've started using Muscle Meals recipes, people seem to miraculously appear at my doorstep and office entrance at meal times; I never knew I had so many hungry friends!! For our office and my kitchen, Muscle Meals is indispensible.

I am a very good cook and for years, when going on a low fat regime, I have found it impossible to make food without fat tasty, until, I found this book. Mr. Romano has come up with recipes that are flavorful, easy to assemble and truly low fat!The format of the book is terrific. The recipes are easy to follow, his comments are entertaining, as well as helpful, and the art works are a scream! In the past three months, my husband has lost 20 lbs and didn't even realize that I had him on a "diet." Might I also add, that I find Ms. Beatty's comments very interesting considering her picture is on the back cover of this book and the book is dedicated to her!! And that it was because of Mr. Romano's diet counsel that she placed third in the Ms. Olympia contest.

This book contains loads of delicious, nutritious meals.It really helped me lose weight and build muscle!
