Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Female Body (The Thinner Leaner Stronger Series Book 1)

Product Information

Getting toned has nothing to do with fads and magazine advice, and it has everything to do with simple biology and even simpler math: energy consumed versus energy expended. The program's greatest strength lies in its simplicity, making it a simple workout to follow and make progress quickly. I'm now into my tenth week, still motivated, and still looking forward to what I'll look like a year from now. I rely on counting my macros to know if I need more carbs, or protein, or some fat in the next thing I eat. My mission is to give everyone that opportunity by providing time-proven, evidence-based advice on how to build muscle, lose fat, and get and stay healthy.

I have always lacked structure in the gym of what I should be working on, and this removed the shroud of mystery. I feel like a lot of health and nutrition books do this (talk about why their plan is so awesome instead of just showing us), but it’s not anything you can’t skim around. michael matthews does everything he can to present all of his hard-won knowledge of strength training in as straight-forward and transparent a manner as possible. I hope you've found it insightful, inspiring, and practical, and I hope it helps you build that lean, sculpted, and strong body you really desire.So after three years, and several failed attempts to lose the excess, I stumbled across this book on GoodReads. Having a very heavy science and medical background some of his science and interpretations were a bit too watered-down and in a few cases incorrectly interpreted which was not very satisfying.

He also doesn't touch very much on the health benefits of weightlifting and good nutrition, which are some of the top reasons I count macros and lift weights. He does encourage a small treat occasionally, but I'm sorry, a small square of chocolate once a week just isn't going to cut it for me.In other words, everybody knows that muscles grow only if they are forced to, but very few people know why. It's an easy and digestable read to learn more about strength training overall with multiple scientific studies cited for each claim he makes (and to refute false claims). Well, the truth is, there are only a few rules (see next lesson), and everything else is just a fad which makes some people serious money. Summary: His position is all calories count, you can eat "dirty" ones or "clean" ones all that matters is that you have a calorie deficit each day to lose weight.
