Educational Advice

Hello,

I've finally reached the point where I'm ready to learn in earnest about building the body in regards to nutrition.

I've done about 100 crunches daily since the year 2000, I still cannot see my efforts because I've got a layer of fat. Fat not from over indulging, but from blindly taking 'weight gainer' powders when I was 19. I'm 29 now..

My abs are developed, my bicep/triceps/shoulder have a good foundation. But, I need to reduce my body fat.

Now........I'm totally a novice when it comes to understanding how the body breaks down food.

I'd like to learn about nutrition and all the important aspects of it. Can any nutritionists recommend any good books that will enhance my knowledge to a 'nutritionist' level?

Thank You
Fess

Honestly a good biochemistry textbook will go a LONG way since it will cover a ton of the systems and hormones invovled. The ketogenic diet or Ultimate Diet 2 by Lyle Mcdonald (www.bodyrecomposition.com) are GREAT GREAT books as well.

Thanks for the suggestions..

I've checked out "The Ketogenic Diet" at amazon. Got good reviews in regards to covering the "why's?" and "How's".

Your help is appreciated
