Dr. Darden,

Just received this book yesterday and read the first 25 pages…this is a great book, I love how you go into more detail and provide some great ideas with each subject…i.e cereal, salad, soup and fruit…where to eat…

Can’t wait to read the rest

Thanks, dan

Hocus pocus?

  • You mean calories are still more important than the ‘hormonal affects’ of food? I can’t eat all the fat and protein I want and lean out?
  • I can’t do One Meal a Day without eventually have issues with nutrient deficiency?
  • You’re saying my metabolism won’t be revving at 200% eating eight, nine times a day?

Wow! I’m shocked! :rofl:

Congratulations! I have 42 books of Dr. Darden in my library, including two issued in Russia. I think I don’t have just 5 or 6 in total.

My total so far is 28

In 1992, forty-four years after the famous Framingham project began, study director William Castelli, M.D., wrote the following in an editorial in the Archives of Internal Medicine: “In Framingham, Mass., the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the person’s serum cholesterol… we found that people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, [and] ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active”.

“The Nautilus Advanced BB book”.
“The Nautilus BB Book” (the edition with Scott Wilson and Boyer Coe on the cover).
I also have a strong affinity to “The New HIT”: this is the book which introduced Dr. D and AJ to me.
I also like 'High Intensity Strength Training" and 'The New Bodybuilding for Old-School Results" .

How would you guys rate the Nautilus advanced BB book? What is significant from that one? Any special routines that come to mind? What’s the best with it?

Probably the best outline and photography by Chris Lund. Awesome story in chapter I. Focus on specialized routines which are mostly a stacking of several exercises for a bodypart - an answer to the question whether one set of one exercise is enough to develop a bodypart to the fullest.
