Overload always gives muscles a very clear reason to grow, which means that plain old heavy weightlifting is the best workout for muscle growth known to man. Matthews believes that achieving this is “not nearly as complicated as the fitness industry wants you to believe” and that it is precisely because of the fitness industry that so many women have problems changing their bodies the way they like to.

Even though evolution works against you when it comes to your perfect body—everyone avoids discomfort in favor of pleasure and ease—if you’ve decided to go to the gym, then you need to put in the effort.

I also love that the author genuinely wants to help people get off the diet and overtraining crash and burn wagon. What I don’t like about it:I’m glad I found this review a few years after you published it. I have been following Mike Matthews’“Bigger, Leaner, Stronger” book for just over a year myself, and was recommending TLS to my sister, though I hadn’t read it yet. This review helped seal the deal. I’ve read 3 books total by Mike Matthews, and enjoy his BS-free, research-driven approach. His approach has helped me get in shape as an adult, losing around 80lbs. of fat and gaining 20lbs of muscle. I’m going broke buying all of these new clothes!

He doesn't talk much about one of the best benefits of macro counting, which is that it takes the morality out of food. 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. Because I can fit dessert into my macros and see that it's just carbs, fats, and protein just like other food (though admittedly not as nutrient dense), I've learned how to incorporate treats in my diet with moderation and eat them with absolutely no guilt, and to me that's huge. This book gives a good start to the basics of counting macros and lifting weights to reach your weight loss and fitness goals. It's a lot of good information.My fellow runners might read this, and be immediately saddened like I was. I was dismayed because I love to have running in my workout toolbelt. I was also dismayed because I just got my first pair of Altra Solstice running shoes and I freaking love them. So, brand new running shoes that I love and I can’t run and build muscle? Sad face. But, this isn’t the case! The suggestion is to limit intense cardio to 1-2 hours a week. No more. So, for those who like to bang out 45 minutes on the elliptical 4 times a week, that is too much. For those who like to go on hour long runs 3 times a week, that is too much too. One of the worst fallacies out there,” according to Matthews. Myth & Mistake #5: Wasting Time with the Wrong Exercises

He begins by demystifying some of the health industry biggest lies. He debunks the fad diets and supplements people spend fortunes on that are completely useless. I've managed to look up a wide variety of sources as part of my commitment to a long term lifestyle change.Increasing or decreasing meal frequency doesn’t help or hinder weight loss or muscle growth. Eat on a schedule that works best for you.”
