Exploding the Low-Fat-Diet Myth Question: After years of trying to enjoy all those unappetizing low-fat foods that were supposed to be our salvation, why are we men fatter than ever before? For that matter, after decades of joint-pounding aerobic exercise, why do so many of us look so sloppy and out of shape? The authors of this book wondered too. They set out to explore all of the so-called truths about weight loss and fitness, seeking to understand how those conventional wisdoms applied to men specifically. They resolved to base their findings on only the most accurate, up-to-the-minute research. You are holding the result of that effort. This remarkable, groundbreaking book debunks perceived truths about good health, scientifically showing how men have been shortchanged by fitness programs that fail to consider their unique needs. Until recently, the weight-loss and muscle-building roles of hormones in general and testosterone in particular have been largely overlooked; testosterone has actually been stigmatized. Not so here. This book celebrates "T" and explains why you should too. The natural benefits of testosterone are explored more fully than ever before. In The Testosterone Advantage Plan(tm): You'll understand why the food-pyramid concept, though well-intentioned, is riddled with so many errors and inconsistencies that it's functionally worthless as a tool for guiding a man's dietary choices. We'll offer in its place something we call the Men's Health--a healthy way of eating that will support your efforts to lose fat and build muscle. You'll discover which foods enhance testosterone and which foods inhibit it, thus gaining an unprecedented degree of control over the hormone that governs your very being as a man. You'll find it's no accident that you crave higher-fat foods: They are nothing less than the foods nature intended for your body to have. You'll learn how to achieve metabolic weight control so that your body will continue to lean itself out even while you sleep. No, this is not another one of those snake-oil claims you see on infomercials at 2:00 a.m. This is the real deal. You'll be exposed to new ways of exercising. Do you have any idea how many guys go about weight training in a way that almost guarantees they'll get little or nothing out of it? We'll walk you through the do's and don'ts. We'll also show you how strength training can give you the benefits once identified solely with aerobics. Finally, you'll meet the men who participated in a landmark pilot program developed from all this new research. You'll see their physical transformations--and hear how the program has also changed their lives. The Testosterone Advantage Plan(tm) is a must-read for every guy who wants to get the most out of his maleness. Put it to work for you.
