Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Better Than Steroids! is a summary of what you need to know to be a successful bodybuilder, athlete or just to look freaking good. It covers in a stepwise fashion, the information you need to succeed. I will review why and how anabolic steroids work, which will lead us into why food programs, eating plans and tricks like the pre and post workout meal are not only comparable to anabolic steroids, but better! I will review the importance of tracking your body composition, as those who are meticulous enough to do so are the ones who keep improving. I will give you a quick synopsis of water, and will review information directly from What Does Your Doctor Look like Naked? Your Guide to Optimal Health such as Food Timing and The Free Window.

The meat of the book is the eating plans. I have reviewed the top four eating plans for guaranteed success. They come with detailed instructions on how they work, when they work best, and how to design one for yourself. From leaning up to bulking up, these are the eating plans that work. They teach you how to use the most powerful drug out there, food, to your advantage. I say it all the time, "Anyone can exercise, but only the ones who know HOW to eat make improvements!"

This is followed by the pre and post workout meals, the most important meals in a bodybuilder's day. With this information on utilization of these powerful meals, mass gain is optimized, fat is burned, soreness is reduced and recovery is enhanced! I then cover glycogen supercomensation, a dominant technique in the quest for maximal muscle gain. BTS started out with a full chapter on supplements, but near the end I felt it was more important and beneficial to get the eating plans understood, as this is the true power in a bodybuilder's bag of tricks. I have included a few supplements' in an appendix, and will plan to use the rest in future books.

There is a detailed review of the most successful cardio routine out there, the High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program. There is a section on weight lifting practices, as monotony in the gym will be the death of your goal attainment. Finally, BTS provides some algorithms for putting all the information together for your optimal achievement.

4 out of 5 stars Everything expected of this book   August 24, 2008
This is a very good book. It does not just tell when and what to eat, but also takes in consideration that each individual has different nutritional needs. Dr. Warren uses a very simple language, understandable by anyone. Yet, all the info in this book is backed by science. The book is written very objectively. All the diets, in addition to explain the function and benefits of each individual one, it also explains the drawbacks of each one. It covers the steroids topic very clearly for those curious about it.

On the negative side, this book lacks a complete food database to go with each specific diet. Some examples are provided, but not enough. Also the part that corresponds to workouts doesn't have any pictures, which makes it hard to achieve proper form. However, a whole set exercises maybe outside the scope of the book.



4 out of 5 stars Relevant Information   July 31, 2008
After reading the reviews, I thought I would learn a lot from this book.....I must have underestimated my understanding of bodybuilding nutrition. Like others have said here, you can get all the information in bodybuilding forums. This book is spot on for people that know little about nutrient timing. The book does offer decent example meal plans for different goals (fat loss, muscle gain, or both). If you are a intermediate or veteran fitness enthusiast, save your money. If you are new to the bodybuilding world, get this book....I recommend going to Dr. Willey's website and downloading the ebook (which is only 20 dollars and you get an immediate download).


5 out of 5 stars Food is a drug that is Better Than Steroids, this book teaches you how   July 22, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

While this book has some good information regarding general body building ideas it is the best book ever written on how food is a drug and if used correctly can be extremely effective in building muscle. This is no fad diet, it is the real deal. Jay Cutler (Mr. Olympia) wrote his testimonial on the back recommending this book and stating that Dr. Willey's diet principles follow exactly what he does on a day to day basis. So if you don't like my opinion it is hard to argue with Mr. Olympia. Great book for anyone trying to put on lean mass while losing fat mass whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner. I also highly recommend his other book "What does your doctor look like naked." While the books target audience is more the general public it still has some extremely powerful information on how food is a drug and how it can benefit us if we understand how it works.


3 out of 5 stars Donuts as a recovery food??   June 14, 2008
 2 out of 5 found this review helpful

I am using the title as a "hook", because I thought it was a really novel idea to include this in a book, and I enjoyed the author's ideas. The text doesn't flow extremely smoothly, but the chapters are short and most readers aren't expecting a literary masterpiece.
Interesting ideas, concise, specific, and to the point. Down to earth yet far-reaching in scope.
One of several recommended books to build your body without steroids.



4 out of 5 stars Great for beginners, basic for pros   June 13, 2008
For the beginner this book is indispensible as it introduces you to the basics of bodybuilding from a dieting and measuring standpoint. I found that even myself learned a few things that if asked previously would or should have seemed like common knowledge. If youve been in the game for a long time now you prob wont get much from it as scientifically it is very basic and simple. Overall i think worthy of a place in your library.
