My review on Shelby Starnes new book "A Simple Guide to Very Low Carb Diets"
Title: A Simple Guide to Very Low Carb Diets
Author: Shelby Starnes
Can be purchased here for only $9.95: **broken link removed**
Index includes:
Shelby talks about an interesting type of diet some of you may have not be familiar with. It is written in an easy to understand format, where the average man or woman could understand it. He doesn't smother you with large unnecessary words, yet he still goes into enough detail so you know 100% what he means and how to apply it.
By page 7, he already goes into details about how to set up this diet, with exact recommendations of how much protein, fat and carbs you will need in your diet, both for males and females.
I will say I feel 100% confident that I could set up a diet for myself or anyone else, and not have to ask him a single question.
He also goes into good detail about refeeds, and again mentions how often you need to do it, depending on your body fat %. He gives you the exact number of carbs and frequency.
From reading the index, you can see he goes over what type of cardio, and most important to me, he says why you need to do this kind of cardio. When you hit a plateau, he gives instructions of what to do next.
Probably the nicest part of the book to me was the fact he listed amounts of food to eat the get the total amount of fat and protein you need, such as this much chicken breast for 18, 22, 28, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 grams of protein. He also does something similar for fat, where he lists foods to eat for 5, 8, 10, 15, 20 and 25 grams of fat.
He also gives you a shopping list, so you can just print this page off and take it with you to the store and pick up anything you'd need.
Finally, he lists other books that you will find interesting, from looking at the list, I've heard of or read most of these, and only have positive things to say about them.
Over all I would rate this book a 10 out of 10, it is easy to understand, easy to set up and a very reasonable price.
If anyone has any questions I’d be happy to answer them(No I will not send you the book), or Shelby can answer them if he’s more qualified.
