The main reason it didn't get five stars is because it billed as a general fitness book, but contains a reasonable amount of bodybuilder specific info. Also, lean for life, his other book, might be a better general buy. BUT Mr Bass gives a lot of good sound advice concerning diet and exercise that has helped me. Using his advice i've been able to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, which i didn't think was possible. I think that his plan is something i can follow for my life, not just a quick way to starve off twenty pounds. In the past i've had a very hard time building muscle but his prescription has helped. I think this book would improve the health of many people who instead yo-yo on fad diets of all kinds.

One of the top 10 exercise/bodybuilding books ever wriiten. Easy to understand and with a wealth of information. The first 52 pages describe very simply how to eat succssfully for bodybuilding and life. A great book.

Good general nutrition for sensible bodybuilding, contest preparation, building mass without gaining a lot of fat, losing fat without losing a lot of muscle, very down-to-earth advice from a very balanced, experienced author.

Read it years ago, Did'nt realize how informated it really was! One of the best publications on health and workout routines.

It's a "sign of the times" when a brilliant, worthwhile book like this only has a few reviews and imbecilic garbage like the Atkins Diet has over a thousand. Bass's books are not just for bodybuilders....especially the latter works. In this book and all his others, Bass lays out the simple realities of nutrition, muscle building and general fitness. The concepts are logical, relevant and when applied translate in to permanent changes for the better to one's body. I e-mailed Clarence and he said his latest book should be out in late 07. Like the others it will be worth ten times its weight in gold.
