vhop's review against another edition
3.0
This was an ok book. Probably written to the younger generation or maybe just primarily Americans. I found it strange how many times she repeated simple stuff like "if u dont like chopping veggies then buy them prechopped". I mean, isnt that a given? Anyway, there was a lot of good info in this book and I might even pass it on to my crossfit coach whos a traditional meat&dairy guy when it comes to eating for strength. Plus the pics of the moves at the end of the book were great - they certainly gave me new ideas for training. Also, some of the recipes were excellent - I guess thats the benefit of a book written to non-cooks: the ingredients all fit on one page!
So all in all, this book is definitely worth looking into.
Ps. There was one weird piece of information that left me baffled: she mentioned Andreas Cahling being a vegetarian but she said hes an Olympic gold medalist in ski jump besides being a bodybuilder? What the heck? First of all, bodybuilders seldom make good ski jumpers who are mostly small in build and second of all, I dont think any Swede ever won Olympic gold in ski jump. (Im a Finn -I should know;))
