The Men's Health TNT Diet is a revolutionary program for burning fat and building muscle. Utilizing Targeted Nutrition Tactics (TNT), the authors move beyond "good carbs" and "bad carbs" to focus instead on "well-timed carbs" that will allow readers to eat the foods they want as long as they are eating them at the right time.

By controlling the levels of glycogen (carbs stored in our muscles) through this unique diet, and learning to exercise in the carb-burning zone (the secret to making workouts shorter and more effective) anyone can shed fat and build muscle—and it takes only 90 minutes of exercise a week.

Title: TNT is pure dynamite!!
Review: Well, I guess this is the week for exercise books. (Sorry, the reference to "dynamite" in my title was a natural, given the book acronym).I was already familiar with the TNT diet and exercise protocols before I bought the book, since it was introduced awhile back in Men's Health magazine. Readers of the mag will want to purchase the book, as it goes into more detail and has many additions.Anyway, so what is the hoopla over this TNT (TM) diet and exercise program? Read no further than Dr. Richard Feinman's review here on Amazon; Feinman is a research collaborator with author Jeff Volek and both have clinically slashed through the medical community's ridiculous low-fat/high-carb dietary advice like samurai Musashi Miyamoto slashing through twenty bad guys, without blinking an eye. If this were a samurai movie, those severed, bloodied bodies you see all over the ground would be the standard medical community.But this isn't a samurai movie, alas, so back to less-bloody thoughts. In all seriousness, if anyone bothers to read the clinical studies done by Volek and Feinman and their findings on the superiority of low-carb diets over the typical advice (not to mention numerous other studies, plus older clinical literature comparing higher-mono-fat diets vs. the typical high-carb low-fat AHA diets), one simply cannot avoid the conclusion our medical communities are clueless on worthwhile dietary advice. I knew that already. Many others were aware of that too. Now all of you know it too.Dr. Volek distills a lot of his research here in TNT for getting folks started on a prudent low-carb baseline diet, and then ratcheting up certain carbs from there, depending on the *timing*. The strong point of this book is showing exactly when one can add carbs without killing the fat-burning effects of a low-carb baseline diet- i.e., primarily after exercise, when the glucose load can be shunted into receptive muscle tissue. If someone has read my other reviews, I'm kind of partial to a low-glycemic-load concept on carbohydrates in general. This book goes one further- it gives the optimal time to add in some low-glycemic carbs like legumes, dairy, fruits, high-fiber cereal etc., which is right after the workout...NOT during a regular meal. This isn't really new news; bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts have targeted carb intake around workouts for many years...such as the so-called "targeted ketogenic" diet. So what's unique about this particular book, you ask? It's problably the dietary spectrum that the authors give that sets this book apart. Readers can choose from a variety of dietary strategies along a baseline low-carb spectrum. Depending on whether rapid fat-loss or muscle-replenishing is the goal, one can choose a starting point that targets one of these goals specifically, or opt for a modified less-extreme point in the middle of the carbohydrate re-loading spectrum. The dietary options will be especially appreciated by (middle-aged or otherwise) readers who are watching their blood glucose levels and need some solid exercise advice to lose fat and build some lean muscle tissue.The exercise section is also very good. Three whole-body workouts a week, with optional high-intensity cardio on off-days. Truly the best of both worlds. Body re-composition needs weight training to accomplish, hence the emphasis on weights(although a good full-body workout produces ample cardio benefits in it's own right). Co-author Adam Campbell of Men's Health undoubtedly had a lot of expert input into the exercise section, which is well-balanced and sensible. What's not to like here?Finally, a word about saturated fat, as I know Dr. Volek considers this a key finding in his research. We've been told by the "experts" for many years that saturated fats are very bad for one's health. It's almost a mantra in the medical community. To be sure, there have been vocal opponents to this status-quo thinking (lipid expert Mary Enig being one), but by-and-large, most advice given out currently sees saturated fat as an enemy. Well, no more. Volek and Feinman, among others, have shown conclusively in the research that saturated fat in the diet is only harmful when the CARB CONTENT is also high; if one eliminates the carbs, saturated fats are not harmful. Studies which show negative results on high saturated-fat diets invariably also included ample carbohydrate content, which means some of the researchers didn't do a particularly good job isolating the variables. And some types of saturated fat are actually good for you (as would be expected, given our cave-man genes...Fred Flintstone didn't eat only salmon). Yes, I know this flies in the face of what many readers are expecting, but the research is there on saturated fats, despite what many in the medical community still believe. (Old, outdated health advice dies hard).Let's sum up. Buy the book, get rolling on the workouts, and get the damn sugar and starches out of your non-workout meals. You'll be healthier, your cholesterol and blood sugar will thank you, and Dr. Volek and Mr. Campbell will be happy authors. Everybody wins.

Title: Excellent, well written, and thorough
Review: The authors go to great lengths to cite the science behind their diet, and do a good job of explaining what to do and when to do it. I would have appreciated a section on vegetarian alternatives to the foods they suggest, but other than that it's a great book. It also includes a complete workout plan. If you only get one diet/workout book, you should seriously consider this one.

Title: It works!
Review: The book is an easy to read explanation of how your body chemistry works with the food you eat, and explains how the low-fat high-carb diets of the last generation have led to the obesity epidemic now happening in the western world. This isn't theoretical; the book backs up its claims with recent scientific studies. The concept of your body's virtual 'glycogen tank' (the combined glycogen storage capacity of your muscles) is a powerful one; essentially your body can only store so much carb before it has to start converting it to fat (your tank is overflowing). Keeping your glycogen level lower makes your body burn more fat instead.The diet is essentially low-carb/high-protein/high-fat, with no need to take note of every calorie you consume. The TNT stands for 'Targeted Nutrition Tactics', the principle of which works with your body chemistry to determine the optimum time to eat your carbs, etc. The book isn't just about what you eat though; despite the slightly misleading 'Diet' title it's much more of a lifestyle than a diet, with great exercise programs listed within to follow. You start by going really low-carb for 4 weeks, then you re-introduce carb reloading days according to your body's needs and your own lifestyle choices.The book is well written in a conversational style, and is easy to follow. Most important of all, it works. I've been doing TNT for about 3 months (info posted on the Men's Health website) and I've gone from having 210lbs on my 5'11" frame to my current 188 lbs, while my waist has shrunk from 35" to just under 32". All while improving my muscle tone and bulk. I look much better and I feel great. :)Highly recommended. The best $20 I've spent in a long while.

Title: The TNT Diet is Really a Personal Trainer
Review: Before the TNT Diet book came out, I had a subscription to Men's Health. Each issue would introduce a new exercise based on recent research. I liked the exercises, but they appeared one at a time, so I never tried to integrate them into my exercise program. When I received a copy of the book, I was pleasantly surprised that all of the theory and practice had been wedded in one place. However, The TNT Diet went far beyond the magazine exercises. It incorporated nutrition and exercise plans based on the need to lose or gain weight or muscle. There is a "Dynamic Warm-Up" that replaces old style warm-ups and reduces injuries. There is a picture of each exercise with detailed descriptions of how to execute it precisely. The exercise sessions can be completed in 30 minutes, so the busy person can get a full week's training in 90 minutes per week rather than 5 or 6 days per week.I am 61 years old and am stronger now than when I was in high school or in my twenties. I can feel the strength in my body, particularly because I am exercising safely and efficiently for the first time in my life. It is better than having a personal trainer because all of the information is available to me whenever I want it. I can review nutritional or exercise information without it costing a couple of thousand dollars.If you are ready to take care of business and finally take control of your health or if you just want to develop super strength in a well developed body in record time, buy the TNT Diet. I have three copies and I don't loan them out.

Review: Já li livros sobre as dietas paleo, low carb, cetogênica, vegetariana, vegana, sem glúten e livros de dietas para reversão da diabetes. Este surpreende pela abordagem simples e bastante flexível sobre o que comer (e quando comer) para atingir uma saúde excelente e um corpo vigoroso.Seu plano de alimentação não demoniza nenhum macronutriente, alimento ou substância, ao contrário de outras dietas. Simplesmente esclarece sobre a qualidade de algumas comidas ou elementos, as melhores e as piores opções, o valor nutricional delas, seus efeitos e quando é adequado ou "permitido" consumi-las. Você não é privado daquilo que gosta de comer, apenas disciplinado.É especialmente atrativo para quem busca hipertrofia muscular mesmo sem suplementos como o whey e a caseína (embora estes são indicados pelo livro). Exercícios com uso de pesos fazem parte do programa.Questões sobre metabolismo, fisiologia, nutrição etc são escritas de forma clara, leve e bem humorada. Há também testemunhos de pessoas narrando suas experiências e os resultados que obtiveram.

Review: I have read this book twice, and I am in the fourth week of training. Whats good about this book is, it explains in depth how the diet works, and it gives you a step by step guide of what you can and can't eat, it also tells you the benefits of the diet. It's also explains things in layman terms so everyone can understand. It also has illustrations on how to execute all the different exercises that you need to perform, I can honestly say that this book is the real deal, I say this because I have been training for the last fifteen years and people who know me have commented, saying this is the leanest and most defined they have ever seen me, one person even ask if i was taking steroids! no such thing. As the book says the first two weeks are the hardest, because of the dramatic change, but after that its smooth sailing, its a well written book, at times you want to jump ahead just to get started, but persevere its interesting and informative, and you begin to realize where you have been going wrong all those years. A great book, you can almost call this the Bible for fitness, honestly I would expect nothing less from Men's HealthL George

Review: Depois que comecei a minha dieta low-carb/high-fat, comecei a virar meio carbo-fóbico...mas o livro até indica macarrão e arroz em horários/dias ADEQUADOS para aumentar a massa muscular, sendo opcional, clarobom livro, oq eu mais gostei foi qnd ele explica os horários de alimentação para "perda de gordura", "ganho de massa muscular" e "recuperação"recomendo
