Don't try a new "diet"; understand your body & go from there
I discovered this wonderful book at a fitness exposition, and have been preaching it's usefulness ever since. I am a personal trainer and experienced weight lifter. After reading this book, I understand my body so much more. Do you know someone who skips meals to lose weight, but never reaches their goal? This book will easily explain why and teach them the proper way to lose weight without skipping meals. It's easy to watch the "perfect" people at the gym and copy their moves to improve your workout. The essential component you can't see is the person's eating habits. The science of proper nutrition is key to obtaining a healthy body AND a healthy mind. It's truly amazing how you can manipulate your body and mind just by changing your eating habits -- this does NOT mean dieting! This book is clearly and simply written to help anyone understand the impact of food, supplements and exercise on your body's metabolism. The key word here being "anyone". Whether you're a body-builder, vegetarian, person trying to lose or gain weight, or just the average Joe, Power Eating will give you the basics of what you need to reach your goals. I recommend this book to anyone frustrated with the way they feel. Don't try a new "diet". Read this book, understand how your body works, then go from there.

good work
The thing I liked about this book is that it takes a no-nonsense approach to the confusing area of supplements and protein. In other words it details what works, how much, what should be taken and what's a waste of money, as well as what can be dangerous-(ephedra). You're going to find a lot of useful information in this book. Some might even surprise you. For instance back to the protein; I was on a 300 gram a day diet, getting ready to start competing a contest. I looked good but didn't look quite refined in my quest for a bodybuilding show. I tried everything. But what I didn't try doing was keeping the carbs high, fat low and the protein at a moderate position. I read and quickly took the author's advice.
Holy crap!!!! It made such a difference! Not only did I start seeing improvements, but my wallet actually fattened up a bit too.
Get this book. You will save a lot of money, and learn a lot too.

An excellent book, that has some minor problems.
I found this book to be an extremely valuable resource. I agree with other reviewers, that it contains basic information, however, it is put together so well, that it surpasses any other material on the subject I have read. And following her guidelines has made a dramatic and fast improvement in my life and ability to exercise. I had very poor energy levels, and that has changed since I have begun following the guidelines in her book.

The book begins as a fast read, but then kind of gets bogged down in formulas and text boxes interspersed among the main body of the book. It could have been formatted better in this regard, and in other ways, for example, by simply adding the chapter number to each page along with the chapter name. The index is worthless, and she cites many references to support her, however, none of them are identified by a footnote, they are simply listed in the back of the book.

She is conservative in some respects with respect to supplements and herbs, which is a positive thing, pointing out that we don't need to take tons of the many supplements on the market to do well, and can get most of what we need from food. However, she goes astray and overboard in her criticisms of certain herbs, yet recommends other supplements that have raised controversy as to their health implications, such as caffiene.

Lastly, while she includes various charts, the book lacks a chart early on of the very basic and most important formulas that she relies upon, that forms the underpinngs of her work. The information is there, but only shows up in chart form toward the very end of the book.

Notwithstanding these shortcomings, which can be taken with a grain of salt, (pun intended) if you follow the basics of her guidelines, and understand the theory of exercise nutrition as she relates it, the book will form a strong and valuable foundation that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
