Summary: Terrific
Comment: This book is incredible. If you are well versed in recent sports nutrition research you are probably already familiar with a lot of what is presented here, however, this is definitely the best presentation of this information I have come across yet. The only other book I know of to discuss many of the topics presented here is "Optimal Muscle Performance and Recovery", by the late Edmund Burke, which was my favorite before "Nutrient Timing". As strength athletes, however, our specifics are usually relegated to a single chapter in a book focusing primarily on nutrition for endurance athletes. From there we are usually left to interpolate information not necessarily targeted to us. No more is this the case. We now have a book based entirely on recent research tailored specifically to our needs. This is a very quick and easy read and is the best presentation of nutrition for strength athletes I have yet to encounter. Keep in mind, it does assume a previous understanding of basic nutrition principles. Money spent on this book is money well spent... terrific.

Summary: It's about "time"
Comment: I'm always so focused on working out and trying to eat the right things that I never really thought about the importance of when i was eating. This new book is a godsend. Not only does it show you how to maximize the results of your workouts by simply timing the appropriate nutrition, but it also lets me know why. I like to know why my body is receptive to nutrient intake differently at different times. The book also makes it very easy for you to incorporate the principals of nutrient timing by mapping out the type of foods and nutrients you need at the precise time you need them in relation to exercise.
I've been timing my nutrient intake according to the book's direction and after two weeks have already been experiencing some more mass (and i had been plateauing recently), less soreness and faster recovery.
So even though the concept of the book may be scientific, it's given me a natural and simple way to get the most out of my training regimen and maximize my performance potential.
If anyone is going to place forth the effort to exercise, not knowing the goldmine of information in this book is doing themselves a disservice.

Summary: more than just what to eat...it's also when to eat
Comment: If you have read more than one book on sports nutrition, you know that practically every reasonable book is the same. If you run, you may need to eat more carbs. If you lift, you may need to modify your protein intake. No matter what you do when you train, eat less fat.
The way I figure it, too many athletes think nutrition, exercise, and their body are like driving a car. They drive the car and then fill it up whenever they get near their favorite gas station. When they fill up and what they fill it up with is more a matter of convenience. But Ivy and Portman show that the human body is far more than an inanimate car. The pipe to our gas tank is more complex and our gas tank is more than an empty container.
To me, it makes intuitive sense that the time when the body is most receptive to refueling is right after training. And that a lot of adaptation goes on between training sessions.
Ivy and Portman have done two terrific things. First they educate us about just what all goes on in the body during the hours between workouts. Second, they add a time factor to all the verbiage out there about nutrition - not only what to eat, but also WHEN to eat to get the most out of both training and food. Can't help but train better and get better results by doing things their way.
