Product Description

EAT LIKE A MAN TO LOOK LIKE A MAN

For years now, the so-called experts have told you to avoid the foods you love. That you’re supposed to ditch the weight room and jog your way to maximum fitness. And that testosterone — the hormone that makes you a man — is actually a problem for you, rather than the solution to your problems. In the meantime, American men have kept getting fatter and more frustrated. Which is why we’ve looked into all this, and from what we’ve learned, we can tell you — the know-it-alls are know-nothings.

The Testosterone Advantage Plan is about realizing your full potential as a man, and will

  • show you how nature intended you to eat.
  • explain how the male body differs in its nutritional needs from the female body — especially when it comes to the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are not bad for you.
  • give you a superior workout regimen to help you attain the muscular physique you’ve always wanted.
  • explain how you can boost your testosterone and energy levels naturally, without supplements or quick-fix fads.
  • help you tick off the long list of benefits you’ll likely reap in terms of energy and enthusiasm, power and potency, confidence and charisma.
  • This much you know: What you’ve done in the past hasn’t worked. Why not try it our way? You have everything to gain — and nothing to lose except your gut.Amazon.com Review
    Wide shoulders, narrow waist, thick chest, muscular arms and legs: today’s male ideal physique is the same as that of ancient Greece. Aerobics and the Food Pyramid just won’t yield that shape, argues Lou Schuler, certified strength-and-conditioning specialist and fitness director of Men’s Health magazine. For weight loss and the Greek physique, he proposes the “T” (testosterone) plan: weightlifting and a diet of 33 percent each carbs (mostly low-glycemic-index), fat (the “good” kind), and protein; no alcohol; and minimal sweets and processed food. The book includes a meal planner, grocery list, and recipes. A 100-page, clearly illustrated weightlifting program progresses from circuit training to bodybuilding to power lifting, with both home and gym exercises.

    This research-based program was tested on 16 willing, hefty guys. After nine weeks, they lost an average of 18 pounds, dropped waist inches, gained strength and energy, and improved their sex lives. The book includes before-and-after photos and quotes from the happy campers.

    Schuler’s man-to-man style is clear, direct, and witty (”one gorilla wearing a stringy tank in July is all it takes to leave a bench soaked in ectoplasm”). The Testosterone Advantage Plan is recommended for men willing to commit to a rigorous lifting program to achieve their ideal physique. –Joan Price

    1. I just got the book last week.. I was very excited about the whole testosterone thing.. well honestly, its allllllll hype. they have some good info, but its soo damn confusing :( And they arent clear AT ALL about gaining more testosterone.

      Its written like those horrible dummies books, where YOU have to read through all the extra garbage to get to the important info. Even the important stuff they talk about is too technical.

      Dont waste your money.

    2. Very persuasive in it’s presentation that men have to eat like men, but outside of that there is really no new info. Probably an easier way to begin a healthy diet/lifestyle.

    3. Well, I did buy this book and read it thoroughly. I really was not that impressed with it. Unfortunatly it reminded me of why i stopped reading Men’s Health magazine. That is, it works way to hard at capturing masculinity through looks and physical strength. Its pretty shallow stuff.

      The work out is a good one. But the diet is fairly hard to deal with. Its not the food choices. Those are fine. ITS THE FACT THAT THE WEEKLY MENU COSTS AN ARM AND A LEG! This is a diet for rich guys or yuppie editor/writers who can write it off as a work expense.

      Blue collar joes with low incomes need not attempt this diet. You’d end up spending a fortune on it in the nine weeks they give you and then what happens when you come to the end of the nine weeks and have to maintain it for life? who the heck can buy the amounts of food they require and the brand names they require! not me.

    4. The author states that no trick photography was used to produce the before and after photographs. I am not convinced. I am not saying the photographs were altered in any way, but I am saying that the photographs are not apples to apples comparisons. The before photographs are small frontal view pictures. The after photographs are almost twice the size and show each man from a different angle. The first photograph shows a man with his arms over his head, another man is wearing all black clothing, and yet another is holding a wieght in his hand. I am not impressed with these photographs. I also noticed that sixteen men took the challenge but fewer than half of the men are photographed. I also do not understand how you can inlude testosterone in the title and not test for the hormone in these individuals. I am left with many questions and am not convinced this plan works.

    5. This book is fantastic. The authors dispell many myths surrounding the differing nutrional and exercise needs of men and women. It may come as a shock to many, especially the editors of the Library Journal, that men and women are indeed different.

      Besides the workouts and diet advice, one of the book’s greatest contributions is exposing the defects in the government’s “Food Guide Pyramid,” as well as putting the lie to much of the conventional nutrition and workout wisdom out there these days.

      “Eat like a man to look like a man.” Excellent advice. I highly recommend this book.

      A note on the Library Journal’s comments: Why would I have to “plow through the book’s chest-thumping”? I’m a guy, isn’t that the point? I LIKE chest-thumping!
