Product Description
With this powerful body transformation program, men and women discover how to kick their metabolism into high gear—and replace flab with lean, fat-burning muscle . . . in just 8 weeks
Revving up the body so that it optimizes nutrition and turns flab into lean body mass can be accomplished easily and quickly—and at any age, even after the body’s metabolism has supposedly slowed down. That’s what sought-after fitness trainer and nutrition expert John Berardi demonstrates in this new book.
Drawing on the best scientific research, including his own ongoing studies, Berardi has developed a supremely effective plan that enables his clients—who include athletes, models, and ordinary men and women of different fitness levels—to stoke their metabolic fires, burn more calories, build lean muscle, and improve their health, too! This unique three-pronged program includes:
• the Nutrition Plan, which provides recipes and meal plans that offer readers the foods that will teach their bodies to burn fat for fuel
• the Exercise Plan, which combines interval exercise and strength training to enable readers to burn more calories not only while they are working out but also after exercise
• the Supplement Plan, which identifies the essential compounds that kick the metabolism into high gear and improve general well-being

How to sell protein powder... December 16, 2008 This is a very interesting book, there is the classical approach of the 7 meals per day to boost your metabolism.
BUT :
For me the problem is that half of these meals are made of protein powder, and I don't think eating powder is healthy or even good. That can't be very serious, especially when the author recommends one particular brand (his ?)...
Increase your metabolism and get into the best shape of your life December 4, 2008 Many books have been written on diets, exercise and various combinations. This book written by John Berardi, PhD, is organized and written so well that if you have the desire to improve your health, you cannot fail.
Being a physician who studied many aspects of diet and exercise, the program makes perfect sense. Dr. Berardi gives an introduction into the basic science of metabolism in a clear, concise method. He goes on to discuss the advantage of diet, supplements, and exercise to fight the battle of the bulge.
This book will show you the tools to carry out the methods and he will inspire you by his methods of teaching.
In this book you will learn the following: The 90% Rule of following this plan. The 7 Rules of nutrition. Why dieting makes you fat. How you can eat more, and weigh less. Why calorie counting does not work. The 5 essential nutritional supplements. Metabolism boosting exercises.
Step by step, the author will outline how you will accomplish your goals. There is even a self assessment to determine how ready you are: Are you ready to change? Is your environment supportive of this change? Is your social circle supportive of this change?
Recipes are included on how to prepare the healthiest meals. Schedules on how to time your meals according to your lifestyle are suggested.
What is most impressive is his commitment to your success. He will give you ongoing support through his website www.metabolismadvantage.com to expand your resources and guide you every step of the way. On the website, there are sections restricted to subscriptions; however, there are a lot of accessible areas that include Blogs (i.e. Nutrition Team Blogs, Product Support and Discussion, Goal Specific Discussion, Sports Performance, Exercise Science) and Exericise demonstrations (through Quicktime streaming). To get complete access to the website and a more in depth experience to the Metabolism Advantage, you will have to pay $97 (as of this writing).
Overall, the book is excellent. I would recommend a medical screening before you do decide to follow this plan. This is no fad - it is the real deal.
Two thumbs up!
About The Metabolism Advantage from a BFL former follower June 11, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I read the book in only a day, easy to read and enlightening about the importance of speeding up your metabolism after your 30's. I had followed Bill Phillips "Body for Life" program for several years, with good results, but halted progress. I suspected already I could not loose more fat since I was not able to gain anymore muscle with the BFL system, due to restricted calories and fat intake. That's when I bumped into this book and decided to buy it. For three weeks now I have been trying this program of excercise, nutrition and NATURAL supplements and the results are already there. It is great to eat lean protein with avocado, olive oil, and other healthy fats everyday, but I find a bit diffucult to restrict my carbs to the post-workout hours, and breakfast, I hav no problem eating vegetables, but cutting on fruit and dairy is hard. Nonentheless my body is begining to show changes, and my metabolism is going faster, since I feel hunger like I felt when I was 18 years old (I am 44 now). The theory on resistance training and interval cardio training was already familiar to me, but I had not been previously convinced of it's relevance to speed up metabolism. I am now, and it is all for the best, I have not lost weight, but I have lost 3 pounds of fat. If you are over 30 and you are experiencing difficulties loosing fat with a restricted calorie intake which in turn makes more difficult bulding new muscle, this book will let you undersand why, and it gives also the cure. A plus, which I find very important: the book provides several meal recepies which are really tastefull. I have not been disappointed of my purchase.

Good research and some really interesting material....however, putting his recommendations into practice would be very tough for a normal person.
Good read - just not an overly practical plan...
Great content, but.... July 5, 2007 2 out of 13 found this review helpful
Although the way that Dr. Berardi explains his program takes almost anyone by the hand to achieve excellent benefits, at the time he suggests recipes for any meals, he just considers American culture, leaving out any other out. Even when at his web page, there are members from all over the world using his program, that by the way, really works.
