2.0 out of 5 stars Concise but dated and often vague, August 28, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Gold's Gym Nutrition Bible (Gold's Gym Series) (Paperback)

The "Gold's Gym Nutrition Bible", while comprehensive in its approach to bodybuilding nutrition, is nonetheless vague and outdated. Most of the nutrition advice offered is basic, beginner-intermediate level, and very little scientific research is quoted to support its claims. A good point of departure for anyone seeking an introduction to bodybuilding nutrition, but not detailed enough to make a useful compliment to training and diet. Most of the information between the covers of GGNB can be found on the newly mandated food package nutrition labels -for FREE

2.0 out of 5 stars The unorthodox bible to building fat, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gold's Gym Nutrition Bible (Gold's Gym Series) (Paperback)

Apparently the authors don't know the strength of the word bible. If this book is a bible, then I hope that I'll never find it in the drawer of a hotel bed-side table. Absurd information about nutrition. Someone should tell the people from Gold's to start from the beginning instead of writing books for their, already huge, friends. If you're a beginner, don't join the gold's religion; find another bible that's realist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for begginers!, December 28, 2010

This review is from: Gold's Gym Nutrition Bible (Gold's Gym Series) (Paperback)

If you have an interest about dieting for bodybuilding......this is the book!,it contains most of the information you need,but not all. Most of the books from Golds Gym has opinions and reviews from former Mr.Olympia,and I think that is the peak of bodybuilding and sometimes it can confuse you. The true is you will not have a body such a Mr. Olympia with this book,it will only guide you about dieting.

The book is very easy to read about colloquial terms,and it is very well explained. The typography is very good,medium letter and the way how they accommodate all chapters makes this book very easy to get in the field. I personally recommend this book to beginners.It is really a nice book at all.
