Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever needed a book to read a book? A dictionary by your side in order to digest whatever complex information is written out right in front of you? "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough". Wise words from the famous German-born physicist Albert Einstein. We live in a fast-paced world, where attention spans are non-existent and convenience is key, almost mandatory it seems. It really should be a sin for someone to sift through a million pages of blocky texts just to understand and get to the underlying point. Imagine if everything you read was as thick as Webster's dictionary? What started off as a conversation over a cup of coffee between a professional and someone looking for advice on training and nutrition soon turned into a health and fitness guide. More importantly, a guide that gets right to the point, no unnecessary history lessons and scientific jargon, just straight Coles notes of all the useful knowledge required to succeed. The book's purpose is to provide the reader with the nuts and bolts on training and nutrition without getting too deep into theory, giving the option for the reader to dive into further research later. Instead, the book weighs more heavily on practical application and provides real-world examples and situations to help the reader get a better understanding of what it is they are reading and how it can be applied specifically to them. Essentially you are holding the Minimum Effective Dose (MED) of information, for maximum results and understanding. Two Doughnuts Later is a book for bodybuilding enthusiasts, recreational lifters, hobbyists, and those just starting their own fitness journeys. An enjoyable and easy ready, the book lays out in front of the reader exactly what they came looking for and covers topics like: -Common nutrition and training misconceptions-Energy balance (metabolism, calories, macronutrients)-The practical applications of macronutrients-How to structure a diet for fat loss or muscle gain-Troubleshooting questions for stalls in progress-The importance of establishing good habits-Poor lifestyle choices that lead to weight gain-Cravings and how to deal with them -Strategies for fat loss and weight maintenance -Coping with social outings when dieting-Common mistakes with tracking food -Food tracking apps and how to properly use them-Common scams to avoid in the fitness industry
