Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hey, Guys! Want to trade your fat for muscle? It's finally possible, thanks to the Men's Health TNT Diet. TNT - or Targeted Nutrition Tactics - is a scientifically designed program that can be customized for any body, including yours. It's as easy as knowing what to eat, and when to eat it. So whether you have a lot of fat to lose or just a little, TNT has a plan to fit your goals. In fact, TNT works not only for the guy who wants to lose 50 pounds of flab but also for the guy who wants to trade 10 pounds of fat for 10 pounds of muscle. Just as important, the TNT diet significantly reduces the risk for heart disease and diabetes, a finding that's been scientifically proven in studies at the University of Connecticut. The results of these studies, which you'll read about inside, are amazing. The best part? The TNT Diet and accompanying exercise plan couldn't be simpler. In fact, throughout the book, you'll find out why you can:-Stop counting calories. The TNT Diet reprograms your appetite, allowing your own body to regulate the amount you eat. So you'll never feel like you're on a diet, even though you'll look like it. -Go back to enjoying the foods you love - like prime rib, omelets, and even butter. Through a revealing report, you'll see why fat - even saturated fat - isn't the dietary demon it's been made out to be. -Exercise just 90 minutes a week. Instead of exercising in the so-called fat-burning zone, you'll learn how to exercise in the carb-burning zone. This is the secret to making your workouts both shorter and more effective. So what's stopping you? The Men's Health TNT Diet provides all the tools you need to dramatically transform your body - both inside and out.

This book is a great guide for the people who is very determinated to lose several pounds. My opinion to beginners is not to involve hard exercise during the period of the diet plan because the lack of energy you will face each day. If you are a consistent medium experienced lifter this book is not for you, because the fact you know you need balanced meals to accomplish your strength and cardio goals every single time.

This is a fantastic diet for fatloss and muscle growth. As many reviewers pointed out, it is not terribly new information, among weightlifting enthusiasts its fairly old news actually, it may be entirely new to you though. Heres the problem with the book though, the author works for mens health, and they put out almost all of the information on the web for free, they dont go into specifics, but I cant see how they are neccesary if you understand the diet. If you are new to nutrition and weight training/lifting then the book might be a nice guide. Again, great information and as more and more people are starting to realize, low carb works for a lot of us, throwing in weight training can lead to greatly increased health. Heres most of the info though, free of charge.

I have owned this book for a while but didn't actually start following the plan until May 2008. The book may not be written on the highest level and it be the most challenging read, but do you really want that?
The reasoning behind what and when you eat and how you exercise is obviously important. The plan has had a very nice effect on my body. I officially started the plan after my bad cholesterol came back at 146. After 4 months of eating the way the book describes I dropped that number to 116. I also dropped my trigylcerides from 115 to 83. I have lost weight and my clothes fit better too. Dropping my LDL by 30 points while eating eggs, cheese, steak, and veggies is not a bad deal in my view.
I may not be a scientist, but I can tell you that the plan works for me. It is easy to follow and I feel healthier now than I have in many years. I think if you are interested in losing weight and the principles of this plan make sense to you, you should buy this book. If you want a hard to read / understand / comprehend book ... then you might need to order another book.

I agree with poster Scott A. Spoor. A basic book poorly written. In the August Men's Health (with another bad role model overpaid for his "talents: Beckham, on the cover), there is an advertisement discussing ADD. One in 140,000 is likely to become a professional golfer; one in 150 is likely to suffer ADD. My point: anyone can lie or fabricate a new reality with statistic - that no one else is likely to replicate using any valid scientific method.
It is a fact that individuals respond differently to diet and exercise due MOSTLY to genetics, and secondary to diet. Cases in point: many Chinese are disposed to being slender, yet, overweight issues occur within a generation of immigrating to the USA. Persons of native American Indian origin may tend to lack a crucial gene to metabolize alcohol. Etc.
Men's Health, generally, is neither truly informative nor scientifically accurate. It is a 'popular' publication, in my opinion, meant to persuade people to part with $5/month under the delusion of longer life, better health, more sex, etc. etc. Time after time, I have found downright dangerous recommendations throughout the magazine. The owner of Men's Health is Rodale Ltd., which used to publish relatively dry, but accurate, information about things such as organic gardening. Don't let the "family owned business" tagline fool you. It's a BIG business & it's more about advertising and sponsership, now, than about YOU. When you look into the network of beneficial ownership of some of the top employees of Rodale, at EDGAR's online Securities and Exchange database, you can get a real understanding of the dis-information and bias. Unfortunately, most people do not take the time to make an informed decision. Oh no, it's too easy to let someone else make the decision for you.
A final personal story on diet and exercise. I worked out, did the diets, etc from the age of 15 or so until almost 50. As it turns out, so far, has made no difference. I have (based on a fast CAT scan) almost all of my body fat as subcutaneous. At my lowest body fat of around 5%, I still had no abdominal definition. Nor did I ever achieve the "Adonis" Greek statue look. I spent thousands of dollars on books, tapes, herbs, protein potions (6 months on the original EAS challenge got me nowhere different). So, though not really bitter, take this advice for what you may find worthy: save your money. Eat in moderation. Drink your water. Do something other than click a remote control. Don't be stupid in your recreational activities trying to emulate gifted professionals. You'll live your predisposed lifespan! In the end, +/- a few years, we are all dead by age 100.

This book is full of everything one needs to change their lifestyle for the better. The diet alone has done wonders for me and as a result I shed 20 pounds, even with occasional cheat meals.
The author promotes the all-body work out rather than muscle-specific lift days. Personally I see individuals on a regular basis who made plenty of progress using this method.
Recipes mentioned are as healthy as they are delicious. Most are very simple to cook.
My favorite part of the book was regarding several stereotypical myths that have given dieting a bad rep. This book will clarify those and help readers understand that getting fit is much easier than many assume.
