Precision Nutrition is his most comprehensive product (a "lifestyle plan" more or less)
Gourmet Nutrition is an incredible cookbook that Lauren and I have used a ton!
Anyway, getting back on track...I am subscribed to his PN blog, and today they posted one titled "All About G-Flux". G-Flux, or energy balance, is the whole premise behind Dr. B's recommendations for health and body comp.
Note: You might have to be a member of his site to view the blog post, but membership to the site is free.
I definitely recommend giving it a thorough read. It will only take 5-10 minutes, but you will walk away from it a much smarter person potentially with a whole new outlook on your approach to training and eating.
The blog is meant to be more of a broad overview, but they have several links at the bottom for additional resources in case anyone is interested.
A couple of my favorite excerpts:
G-Flux involves training more and eating more as long as your training and nutrition plan are well designed.
If you increase G-Flux through exercise, nutrition, and supplementation, then you’ll enjoy:
- simultaneous increases in lean mass and losses in fat mass
- increased metabolic rate
- more rapid adaptations to training stress
- better recovery
- improved health
- increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity
- improved nutrient partitioning (in other words, what your body does with what you eat)
- improved micronutrient delivery (in other words, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients get where they need to go)
- increased tissue remodeling and turnover
More exercise means improved nutrient partitioning, insulin sensitivity, protein turnover and tissue remodeling. More nutritious food consumption means sustained sympathetic nervous system activity, elevated metabolism, and better overall nutrient status.
