Diet and fitness books appear at a dizzying rate &#8211; and with a wealth of dubious claims &#8211; in a culture facing increasing health problems based on a sedentary lifestyle. Ori Hofmekler&#8217;s <i>Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat </i>pulls out of the pack by focusing on the biological principles that dictate muscle gain and fat loss. Written for the widest readership&#8211;competitive athletes, bodybuilders, trainers, martial artists, sports nutritionists and coaches, dieters, and anyone concerned about their health&#8211;the book builds on the concepts popularized in <i>The</i> <i>Warrior Diet. </i>Author Hofmekler<i> </i>describes in simple, lay terms how under-eating and fasting can trigger an anabolic switch that stimulates growth and rejuvenation; how to reengineer the body at the cellular level to burn fat and build muscles; and how to naturally manipulate the body&#8217;s hormones for rapid muscle fusion and faster fat breakdown. <i>Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat</i> offers smart strategies for taking advantage of hunger to stimulate growth, burn fat, and boost brain power; techniques for turning insulin into a muscle builder instead of a fat gainer; and methods for shattering training and diet plateaus&#8211;in the process enhancing metabolic function, improving performance, and increasing the capacity to gain, and sustain, prime health.
