Summary: Changed My Life
Review: i have known the author since 1993, and he has changed my life as he has changed countless other health enthusiasts. he has coached world champion athletes like triathletes mark allen and mike pigg, he has been called by velonews, "one of the most sought after endurance coaches in the world," but if there is one book an athlete, or someone contemplating getting into shape, needs to read, this is that book. nutrition, fitness, stress, training, it's all in here; phil is usually light years ahead of the health industry pundits. i have given this book to dozens of friends, so far no complaints.

Summary: This book became my "bible" for many years
Review: This book changed my life! It gave me a whole new perspective on exercising and fitness. It actually helped me bring down my weight and keep it off by increasing my metabolism. One of the most important books I have. I am constantly lending it out to people, or at least telling people I will lend it to them when i get it back from the last person I lent it to!

Summary: A Must for the "Human Race"
Review: This book sheds a bright light of truth on many of the myths and marketing ploys used in the food industry today. Furthermore, Dr. Maffetone's writing style is clear and he provides ample supporting data and references for his assertions. I have been following the "Maffetone Method" of fitness and nutrition for 9-months. Close friends and relatives see a measurable difference in me - weight loss, more energy and a youger complexion. Additionally, I have less aches and pains, and have greatly improved my aerobic endurance. Finally, this book is especially important for parents who care about their children's nutrition. You might be surprised to know that the glass of juice and bowl of fortified cereal with low-fat milk you fed your child this morning is causing them to fall asleep in class...

Summary: An epiphany
Review: This information in this book radically changed my outlook on exercising. Before I read this book I would jump rope for 15 minutes every morning. Then spread out through the week I would go on high intensity bike rides 4-5 days a week, weight lift 4 days a week, and do high intensity martial arts training 4-5 days a week. I though I was performing mostly aerobic exercise with the exception with the wieghtlifting. After reading his book I discoved that since all my activities were of high intensity I was mostly peforming anerabic exercise. The information in the book also explained why my body was so resistent to weight loss(adrenal exhuastion) and why I was getting injured on a regular basis.
