I also didn't like his promotions for biotest....I think he needs to be a little more professional in his book.
That being said...the program works....really well. I was eating a ton of food and losing body fat. It was great. Good luck with it.
Anyone have a link for the cookbook he has?

I've done some very low carb dieting so I'm used to the cravings. It's actually a lot easier, almost not even a problem considering that I get plenty of carbs throughout the day from fruits and veggies. A lot of times I don't even bother with starchy carbs during the post workout window, I just use the time to take a shake and go back to meat and veggies. I think eating every three hours helps too. Since I'm never really hungry I don't have cravings often.
Yeah, he plugged Biotest's Surge, but he had a hand in making it so you can't really blame him. I'm sure he gets some sort of profit sharing from his contribution to the formula so he is really plugging himself, too. It would have been good of him to explain how to make a shake similar to surge on your own like he did in another article I found. He published an article on post nutrition once in which he said whey protein + gatorade was a low budget solution for a post workout shake, it's just hard to find that article. Putting that in the book would have been nice.
