Of all the books out there on protein requirements, I think you will find this to be the most honest and complete. There is a lot of BS and misinformation on the Internet and we have to be VERY careful about what we listen to.
This author essentially blows the “you need tons of protein to get muscle” myth right out of the water. And considering that so many foods that are high in protein are also high in fat, this is a good thing.
Brad Pilon, the author, is a former supplement developer and research scientist. In other words, he’s not some hack. He knows what he’s talking about. Yes, you will find some of this stuff to be controversial and different from what you’ve been taught. That’s why I say, consult with a doctor first.
The book is filled with actual case studies that are documented. There is one that shows that you can actually burn less fat by eating more protein. If you think about this, given what I said about many protein foods containing high levels of fat, it makes sense. Also, take a look at people who live on Burger King Whoppers and at how much they weigh. Maybe there’s something to it.
There are tons of facts in this book and the author covers a lot of ground. There is no way that I can possibly do any justice to this book with an in depth review because you’d be reading it for a week... the review. So instead, why not just go to the site and see what Brad covers. There is a lot, so take your time going over it.
Bottom line is this... You will NEVER think about protein requirements the same way again.
