Bodybuilding Diet Books?

andro · Dec 9, 2012

Can any of you recommend a book i could get that goes into the science of bodybuilding diets to cut for a show or to bulk correctly while staying lean. Iam not looking for a workout book just about diet and timing and best foods to eat ect.

I am currently paying a guy to do my meal plans but would like to study myself. Iam a strong believer in diets and eating right to get the gains i want or the body fat i want to get to.

Thanks guys.

Merry Christmas

Does Shelby have a last name?
Any specific books that would help me cut for a show and bulk clean in off season?
Just tired of paying guys tons of money for diets that i can learn on my own by reading.

Looks like a lot of guys are saying go with your book! I want to learn the ins and outs of how i can change my diet to make my body cut down to 4% or bulk in off season cleanly.
Last guy i paid was $1500 and that gets old fast.

I went to scribd.com and searched bodybuilding nutrition. heres some of the first on the list:

Bodybuilding-Nutrition
Bodybuilding Nutrition
Cooking - Bodybuilding - nutrition and steroids

Not sure how good they are but worth a shot lookin through the site and such.

I would think people on here would know more than Lyle etc?

Aceto's championship bodybuilding is good, as is "understanding bodybuilding training and nutrition" but both fairly basic.

Shelby's stuff is more advanced but very easy to understand...you should definitely download some of his ebooks. Lean gain principles has allowed me to make great gains while controlling bodyfat, something I'd never been able to do before.

Dr di pasquele: the metabolic diet and the anabolic diet. Both great books

Thats a hell of an endorsement coming from someone whose work shows up on these pages daily. I mean when the guru refers to another guru that says something about Character....

Do you think your Fatloss book is comparble to Lyles RFD Book?

I believe "The Zone" by Barry Sears is worth the read, although the application is different. Dr. Sears is the one who brought the Glycemic Index, Inflammation, and EFAs into the spotlight with regards to diet. I would say ALL modern athletic nutritionists are influenced by his research.

Dr. Sears (a biochemist), proved through controlled studies on high level athletes that he could improve performance though diet. If you read my post on eicosanoids, that is where it came from. Eicosanoids are perhaps the most important factor controlled through diet, they effect all aspects of the body.
