Any body building or diet books you've read?

[The Transformer]

I am really trying my hardest to get the best understanding of diet, bulking and cutting, and how foods work for me...

Is there any books out there that you have read that you recommend?

thanks

the fatloss diaries (check it out at elitefts)
burn the fat feed the muscle by tom venuto (excellent book)
and one of the most underrated books of all time... MuscleNowi bought musclenow for $50 (hard copy) a long time back, now it's around $200 last i checked... not worth the money... I think phil trained this guy ... cuz his methods are exactly like phil's, but with slight tweaking.

It is kinda old, and likely out of print, but will really tell you everything that you want to know.

For those who have read "Better Than Steriods" by Dr. Warren Willey, what did you think? I'm on amazon.com preparing to order but before I hit the submit key, I wanted to get your thoughts on this book.

I'm looking for good reads on understanding diet manipulation, the when and why of foods. After reading this text, were you able to construct a diet based on your goals and did you achieve those goals?

That book was the first one I ever read...and is still to this day the best.

Body Rx from Dr. Scott Connely is really good as well.

Yes, I read it and used to follow it years ago before I had more information sources.

Probably read enough forum threads to WRITE a book.

My two favorites:

The Complete Keys to Progress: By John McCallum

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Keys...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245889342&sr=8-1

The Wild Physique: Vince Gironda

http://www.amazon.com/Physique-Comp...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245889405&sr=1-1

(Very unique training advice and nutritional advice in this one. THE first trainer to employ the keto strategy for bodybuilding. Trained more champions than just about anyone)
