Resource	Main aspects covered	My opinion	Priority
	Nutrition Some psychological aspects Some exercises Steady state vs HIIT cardio	I almost did not buy this book. To be honest, the web page of the vendor was a turn off, since it looked to me like one of those high pressure tactics infomercials. This is a good example of “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover”. Excellent book that shows you exactly what to do to get in shape in a rational manner. Click on image for more info.	Mandatory
	Nutrition	When I analyzed my data of macro nutrients consumption for several years, I realized that my consumption of lean protein was very low, compared to healthy fats and carbs. I started to incorporate at least 24 grams of Whey Protein within 30 minutes of waking up, and another 24 grams right after working out. This element alone was responsible for a lot of the muscle gains and fat loss I experienced in the weeks after I started my customized program. The exact amounts of protein to consume depend on several factors explained in the first book. Click on image for more info.	Mandatory
	Food Recipes	I love to eat good food, and although the first book is very good explaining the relationships of macro nutrients in our diets, and how they affect bodyfat and muscle mass, the book lacks any recipes to incorporate on a day to day basis. I did some research and found Muscle Chow, whose recipes I have been trying on a daily basis for 2 years, and are 100% compatible with the nutrition principles of the first book. I recommend it.
