Buff Dad: The 4-Week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys [Paperback] Review

Buff Dad has good basic advice; identifying foods to eat and foods to avoid, and a little explanation about why.Some of the recipes sound awful, although I haven't tried any of them.It has lots of motivational, cheerleader type exhortations pitched at the ordinary Dad with a few pounds to lose.The photos of the author demonstrating the exercises are good, but limited and repetitive.In fact, everything here is repeated at least several times.The 280 pages could easily have been 50-60.But, that's a quibble since the price is right and the messages are clearly delivered.

Before: From Puffy Dad After: To Buff Daddy

Your Saturday workouts at the gym have been replaced by Saturday Little League games; your morning run has become running out the door to make the daycare drop-off; and your romantic (and healthy) sushi night has become family pizza with a side of crayons. While being a dad changes your life for the better in so many ways, it can also be detrimental to your waistline…and your overall health.

Enter Mike Levinson, a nutritionist and trainer to many star athletes, who put on fifty pounds after his wife had their first child. Taking his years of experience—from inside training camps and test kitchens—he developed the Buff Dad Program, transforming his middle-age spread to six-pack abs and helping many other dads like him lose weight, tone up, and improve their health and energy levels—usually in less than 28 days.

In this, the first program tailored with dads in mind, Levinson gives men the four-week game plan to get it done. The secret? Testosterone, a key fuel that boosts your body's ability to lose weight and build muscle naturally, yet something that is woefully deficient in most men's diets today. The Buff Dad program shows you how to incorporate testosterone 'powerfoods' into your meals to help you take the weight off. By combining this tasty and realistic nutritional plan with the Buff Dad Workout Blitz--targeted exercises just three times a week--you will be on your way to being the Buff Dad you want to be, and your family needs you to be.

Product Description:
Based on the results of biomedical, clinical, and health research from hundreds of scientists worldwide. Written for the general public and medical professionals.

Clinique Science Weight Loss is a book that describes a simple method to lose weight rapidly and completely, while improving health and reducing the risk of many diseases (in¬cluding cardiovascular disease and cancer). At the core of this method are medicinal foods and The Plateau-proof Diet.
Among the medicinal foods are herbs and spices that directly cause weight loss, and many others that maintain and/or improve certain vital aspects of health and wellness. Medicinal foods are a very important component of this weight loss system because they either affect weight loss directly, or they improve the physiological deficiencies that make weight loss difficult or impossible. Physiological deficiencies such as very early stage (pre-disease) glu¬cose intolerance, for example, tend to complicate weight loss while favoring weight gain. These deficiencies can easily be reversed by the proper use of medicinal foods. We there¬fore cannot overemphasize the important role of medicinal foods in a rapid and sustainable weight loss.
The Plateau-proof diet is a rotation diet that is designed to prevent the dreaded weight loss plateau. Drawing from the research of several hundred scientists from across the world, this diet uses two formulas to assign numbers (a Carb/Protein and a Fat/Protein index) to all foods. Basically, there is a rotation between low-carb (standardized to protein) and low-fat (standardized to protein). Without standardizing to the right type of proteins, weight loss would be unpredictable, slow in most people, and easily reversible in almost all people. The main culprit responsible for the rapid weight gain after weight loss is the human growth hormone (more appropriately the lack thereof). The human growth hormone is respon¬sible for maintaining leanness in the adult human. The secretion of this hormone is sup¬pressed or inhibited upon weight gain, while the secretion of its antagonist (human growth hormone binding peptide) is increased. If this deficient hormonal axis is not reversed in the course of weight loss, the subject will invariably regain weight. The Plateau-proof Diet uses protein standardization to reverse the deficiency in human growth hormone, and therefore to prevent the weight loss plateau and the subsequent weight gain.
There is no doubt that a relatively healthy subject will lose weight easier and maintain leanness, which is why Clinique Science Weight Loss is designed to improve health while affecting a rapid and sustainable weight loss. This method is relatively easy to follow and is inexpensive. The system does not require counting, calculations, extensive planning, and other vexations that one would expect from a science-based weight loss program. Also, The Plateau-proof Diet is not very restricting since it is a rotation diet.
Since the Clinique Science Weight Loss system starts affecting vital physiological param¬eters from day one, potential users are advised to talk with their physician prior to starting. Some basic screening will be done that will help individuals to derive the most benefit out of the system. The screening will include: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cho¬lesterol, triglycerides, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio. This screening will allow individuals to emphasize certain medicinal foods to correct applicable deficiencies while they lose weight.
