Product Description
Millions of modern American men want to eat better but don't have the time to count calories. They are turned off by the prospect of forever giving up burgers and fries and confused by the media's conflicting health-related messages. A Guy's Gotta Eat proves that healthy eating is a surprisingly easy option. Self-taught nutritionist and weekend warrior triathlete Russ Klettke, along with sports nutritionist Deanna Conte, provide all the tips and tools men need to start eating better, from nutrition facts to advice about cooking for a hot date. Included are shopping lists of the 60 grocery items every man should have in his kitchen---and "combinations" (rather than traditional recipes) which make whipping up good, healthy food easier than ever. The authors make smart eating automatic and simple, whether one is cooking at home or dining out. Loosely based on the immensely popular Zone diet and focusing on fruits, vegetables, proteins, and "good" carbs, A Guy's Gotta Eat is a whole-life guide for men who say, "I should eat better but don't know how."

 | God awful Dec 6, 2005 |
| The whole thing was just awful, I don't mind telling you. I don't know why anyone would buy the book for the recipes to start with when there are so many "meals in 30 minutes" internet sites...all completely nutritional with different caloric contents. Then there's the advice...it was just as bad, I found. Well, bad in the sense that it was silly. Really quite silly. I must admit that I must agree with the reviewer that said if you are eating an entire plate of French Fries, or Freedom Fries, depending, and you don't know that you are eating something that is going to put some pounds on, then reading this book isn't going to help you. It does kind of sound like the positive reviews are all written by people that know the author personally. Sounds a little bit like the Pentagon's planted news stories in Iraq if you don't mind my saying. | | | | Not worth the paper it's written on Feb 27, 2005 |
| I read the book, came to this site to write a review, and was flabbergasted by the people that wrote positive reviews. Had they never encountered dietary information before? Was this their first knowledge of how food is processed in the body, and what foods one should eat? Even if that were the case, there are still better guides available. I found this book to be a cheap attempt to earn a little money at the expense of people wanting serious nutritional information. Maybe the positive reviews really were written by friends or by the author's own public relations firm...which advocates napping...induced by reading his own book no doubt. | | |  | Practicality Feb 3, 2005 |
| What this book does is show how to eat healthy in my busy life. I always thought I would have to buy fresh vegetables three times a week (frozen is OK, it turns out) and that all red meat was bad (certain cuts are lower in fat than others). And since I ALWAYS eat lunch at work, I now know how to pick the best choices in fast food and restaurants. A few small changes can make a big difference, it doesn't feel like a diet and I'm learning how to make food that tastes better in 15 minutes than what I used to order for delivery (usually takes an hour to arrive anyway). | | | | More nutrition eating the pages Nov 5, 2004 |
| I saw the book in the discount bin at the book store and I thought the title was cute. I thought, well, the guy gotta eat so that's why he wrote a book so he could sell something to dopes and have enough money to eat...that should have been the whole title. The book was awful. The recipes were unappetizing, and the nutrition doubtful. It would have been nice if the author, and I use that term loosely, just like the stools some of the recipes induced, if the author had given us the nutrition content of the paper it was written on...surely it is better for you than any advice they tried to put on you. | | | | Why is there no "ZERO" star category? Aug 17, 2004 |
| What a rip off. The recipes in this book seem like they were ripped right out of the pages of Ladies Home Journal. And what's up ladies? Is that what happened? I mean, you can get better, simpler, tastier recipes than this online without having to buy the book. As for the rest of the stuff that the book says, I agree with other reviewers that there is nothing new here. Nothing at all. It's as though it were written by someone taking a writing class for the first time. "Okay class, we are going to write about what's in our refrigerator. I'm going to need your composition to be 1000 words and you're going to talk about what might be in a refrigerator if you were trying to eat more healthy foods." It's blather. If one needs something like this to be healthier, they have many other issues that should be addressed first. | | | Write your own review about A Guy's Gotta Eat: The Regular Guy's Guide to Eating Smart
