Product Description
Before: From Puffy Dad After: To Buff Daddy
Your Saturday workouts at the gym have been replaced by Saturday Little League games; your morning run has become running out the door to make the daycare drop-off; and your romantic (and healthy) sushi night has become family pizza with a side of crayons. While being a dad changes your life for the better in so many ways, it can also be detrimental to your waistline?and your overall health.
Enter Mike Levinson, a nutritionist and trainer to many star athletes, who put on fifty pounds after his wife had their first child. Taking his years of experience?from inside training camps and test kitchens?he developed the Buff Dad Program, transforming his middle-age spread to six-pack abs and helping many other dads like him lose weight, tone up, and improve their health and energy levels?usually in less than 28 days.
In this, the first program tailored with dads in mind, Levinson gives men the four-week game plan to get it done. The secret? Testosterone, a key fuel that boosts your body's ability to lose weight and build muscle naturally, yet something that is woefully deficient in most men's diets today. The Buff Dad program shows you how to incorporate testosterone 'powerfoods' into your meals to help you take the weight off. By combining this tasty and realistic nutritional plan with the Buff Dad Workout Blitz--targeted exercises just three times a week--you will be on your way to being the Buff Dad you want to be, and your family needs you to be.

 Good for Ol' DAD July 10, 2008
A common sense straightforward book for old dad. Discusses food choices (not diet) and exercise. Nice illustrations of specific strenthening exercises in a helpful, step-by-step manner. I'm not sure that there is much hard science to support his theory that "testosterone foods" speed weight loss (if there is such a thing) but lean meats and protein, fruits and veggies, and whole grains are the basis of most successful programs.
PS Old MOM uses the book more than old DAD.
Encouraging June 8, 2008
Excellent and informative book. It gives practical, useful and balanced wisdom. I found it very helpful since I'm busy but want to maximize my workout and eating efforts.

Great Plan for the forgotten Father April 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Okay ladies, we all had our babies and we sent our husbands out for chili cheese fries, cotton candy and snickers bars at 11 pm.
Dutifully they went and bought us our horrendous craving foods but don't you think they snuck a bite too?
Well, mine did and he gained a few love pounds. He would have really enjoyed this book because so many father's needs are ignored those first months. The advice is sound (and yes I do hold a degree in Kinesiology so YES I am qualified to make that statement). The format of the book is ideal and it will make a difference for that new Dad in your life.
I think it's a great gift and if Mike can make the guy from Desperate Housewives into a Buff Dad I'm thinking this is a bargain.
