    • Two Thumbs WAAAAAY Up!!
Format: Paperback
2000 years ago man thought Earth was the center of the universe. 400 years ago the world was flat; some people who questioned this wisdom were even burned at the stake for heresy. Before the beginning of 19th century engineers thought man would "disintegrate" if he exceeded 100 mph, hence train speed was limited on purpose. Just 20 years ago "high-carb" diets were supposed to help people improve their well-being. Well, we know the disastrous epidemic the high-carb diet did to our Nation - 60% overweight! We Americans are so fat that the western hemisphere created a planetary imbalance, skewing the earth's rotation about its axis. So there, forget global warming. The world's climate has drastically changed because we are literally heavy on this side of the globe. How's that for a theory, Al Gore?? All kidding aside, what I'm getting at is that you should approach this book (as well as life in general) with an open mind. I am a hardcore bodybuilder, and yes, I have been on the high-fat, high protein, low carb diet for a while now. If there is anything that the sedentary general population can learn from us bodybuilders, it is that we are vain, and we love to look at ourselves in the mirror. But more significantly, we are experts at building muscle and losing fat. Many bodybuilders may not have the credentials on paper with those fancy letters, such as a BS, an ABC, an MD or a PhD. But trust me, we know fat loss. And I am here to tell you that "Protein Power" works. The reason I bought this book is that I wanted to understand the "why's." I already know "low-carb" works; I just wanted to know for myself the scientific reasons behind it. The doctors go in great detail explaining why and how. The science behind the "low-carb" concept is explained in a level that 8th graders can understand. The doctors did an excellent job. In addition to the easy-to-understand format, but well-researched and scientific findings the book outlines, I love the fact that the doctors were kind enough to include a recipe section. Yummy!! Chances are if you are reading this section in Amazon, it is because you wish to lose weight. In closing, I'd like to offer the following: There are four pillars to losing weight. They are: a) your mind; b) weight training; c) cardio exercise; and, d) nutrition. a) Your mind. You have to believe that you can do it. Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right. There are no magic pills that you can take and melt the fat off when you wake up the next day. YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD!! And don't blame genetics. Take accountability for your own lifestyle. Once you understand and accept this, you are on your way to losing fat. b) Weight training. You should consider adding weight training to your regimen. You want to keep and / or add muscles. Muscles burn fat due to increased metabolic rate. You don't want to "lose weight" by losing both fat and muscle. That's another thing. You should focus on "fat loss" and not "weight loss." I'm not saying you should be a bodybuilder, all I am saying is that weight training is an effective fat burner. Get yourself an Accu-Measure caliper (also sold at Amazon for $20) so you can measure fat loss on a weekly basis. c) Cardio. You will lose fat if you create a calorie deficit. You can do this in two ways. You can either burn the calories by doing cardio, OR you can consume less calories by eating less food. BUT, and here is a big BUTT (pun intended), the best way to burn fat is eat a little less AND exercise more. You can certainly lose weight just by consuming less calories without exercising, but you will be a "skinny fat person." You know, those dudes with a low body weight, but little if any muscle, and the last 15 pounds of stubborn fat is left defiantly clinging to their hips and butt. d) Nutrition. Read "Protein Power." This is perhaps the only fat loss book you will ever need. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to have a leaner, meaner physique. HOOAH! (It's an Army thing.) ... show more

    • Bought it, followed it, loving it
Format: Paperback
I bought this book after watching "Fat Head" a documentary about food propaganda (this is my quick and dirty summation of the movie). The documentary presents information from Pro-Protein and Pro-Fat doctors and experts including Dr. Michael Eades. I enjoyed the film and am embracing fat and meat in my new lifestyle. Protein Power is about low-carb (or no-carb if you desire) lifestyle and how to go about reducing your carbs and increasing your protein and fat intake--not just for the sake of eating meat. If you have insulin resistance symptoms, high triglycerides (like I did), diabetes, or have always struggled to lose weight, you owe it to yourself to check this book from your library and read it and DISCUSS WITH YOUR DOCTOR. Before going on a low carb regimen (actually I eat almost NO carbs) my triglycerides were at 161 on a vegetarian and carb diet (whole grains not refined). After four weeks of almost no carbs and increasing my meat intake (mostly beef, chicken, and pork) and eating and cooking with coconut oil and butter (eliminating vegetable oils) my triglycerides dropped to 66--that's 95 points! Please keep in mind that we are all unique and individual results will vary. Protein Power helps you identify what works for YOU. What I love about this book is the simple language. Doctors, engineers, subject matter experts can get away with scientific jargon that can easily drive away a reader. I read Protein Power in about three days (I skimmed the diet examples chapter and some of the recipes chapter). The information is straightforward in plain English. It has a questions chapter which is like a troubleshooting section--one of the things I experienced after about three weeks on a carb-free diet was a significant drop in energy. the book explains that this can happen to some people but it gives you ways to fix the issue. One of my favorite chapters in on vitamin supplements and was kinds surprised that even with high fat and protein diets Dr. Eades recommends vitamin supplements. The vitamin chapter explains why and how on the vitamins that one should include. If I have to pick a favorite chapter it is the chapter on figuring out your ideal weight. Throw out your bath scale and pull out a measuring tape out of your sewing desk. It's a slightly longer way of figuring out your ideal weight but according to eades it is FAR more accurate at calculating your ideal weight and body mass and composition. If you're good at math you'll figure this out in no time. Eades guides you through the whole process so don't let this intimidate you--it's perhaps the most important chapter of all. If you've always wanted lean muscle, do not skip this chapter. I really enjoyed this book immensely and has become my "standard". Eades discusses the science and practical usefulness of a delicious way of eating that includes once vilified foods such as saturated fats. Please keep in an open mind and remember the times when grandma cooked with lard and butter and we didn't have an obesity epidemic. I was a vegetarian for 12 years and always struggled with weight, high triglycerides, and a whole bunch of other "popular" health issues that pharmaceuticals love to advertise they have a solution. Try eating better and more delicious first! ... show more
