The Testosterone Advantage Plan : Lose Weight, Gain Muscle, Boost Energy |
Editorial Review:
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.
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

Pumps You Right Up:
An excellent basic book on eating and working out for your gender type. I use it in helping recovering drug addicts learn good nutrition and exercise habits.
A great book for men!: 
I bought this book a while back, skimmed through it, then put it on the shelf. I recently brought it back out and have begun following its advice. The main thing I love about it is that it is finally a diet for guys. Most of the other stuff out there is geared towards a woman's dietary needs (even the ones that claim to be for everyone). It also includes strength training. If you've ever seen guys that have lost weight by starving themselves and not working out..you know how much it is needed.

The Testosterone Advantage Plan really works:
The book has changed my life. I am eating much more healthy and more often. I have been on the diet and excercise for 3 weeks now. I have lost 10 lbs and have gained muscle, along with testosterone. I would recommend it to everyone.
Just finished the 9-week program:
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to transform their body and is serious about it.
I think that the most valuable thing in this book is the shopping list and the daily meal planner. That and it is about and for men. That is so rare in a society that praises Atkins and other fad diets (mainly for women)
Overall I lost 23 pounds and can now bench 210 from 185. I also didn't follow it exactly. I ate the prescribed meals in the book but i mixed and matched. Overall I don't think that I...more info
