一本解答所有疑問的指南，一本提供切實方法的寶典再怎麼有效的飲食法，若無法長期維持，就毫無意義本書全面檢視科學研究，鑑別優劣，總結出可靠、可應用的指引讓你吃的開心，又能確實接近目標想減脂、想提升運動表現，或者，只是想要維持基本健康……關於飲食，我們總有特定需求。怎麼吃，成了現代人獨有的焦慮，於是種種飲食法應運而生。只是，你有引述研究論文，他則根據最新實驗，身邊還有各種言之鑿鑿的親身經驗，看起來都很可靠，結論卻常互相衝突，究竟該聽誰的？蛋白質代謝窗口值不值得認真看待？（訓練後半小時內多喝一杯乳清蛋白真的有差？）關於碳水化合物，是總攝取量重要，還是攝取時機重要？（晚上吃碳水未必就會變胖！）飽和脂肪就是壞？（黑巧克力也含飽和脂肪，為什麼被當成健康食物？）應該要有人通盤檢視所有科學研究，提出解答──這就是本書的目標。身為頂尖健身營養學家，亞拉岡投身相關研究逾三十年，發表多篇重量級論文之餘，也持續指導健美選手、運動員和一般客戶，學術和實務經驗兼備。他在本書挑戰艱鉅但世人迫切需要的任務：鑑別紛雜的飲食研究，釐清實驗之間的優劣和適用性，區分短期和長期效果，提出可以真實應用於生活的指引。在本書你會發現：●大多數的飲食焦慮，都只是沒有根據的限制和擔憂。恐懼單一成分的心態，忽略了營養素之間複雜的交互作用，而且賦予食物「好」或「壞」的價值判斷，是導致暴飲暴食的重大原因。●證明特定飲食法「有效」的實驗，往往見樹不見林。本書逐一審視各種說法的證據基礎，釐清實驗的設計是否合理？變項是否真的有統一？短期效果是否能長期維持？若有結論相左的實驗，應該如何權衡？最後提供根據科學並結合實務經驗的解答。●不論你想減脂、增肌、維持運動表現，或只是想維持健康，可行的方法都不只一種。你大可選擇最適合自己習慣的菜單或飲食法，而不必採取極端作法，讓食物成為痛苦和壓力的來源，徒增失敗率，甚至影響身心健康。正如作者所說：「營養有不可思議的複雜性，本書並沒有迴避這種複雜性。在整個旅程中，我們不只為了達成多個目標（增肌、減脂和運動），也包括每一個目標的不同面向（每日總份量、運動前中後的進食時間安排等等），深入研究了營養的理論與應用。」不論你是想解答客戶疑問的教練或營養師或者想要減重的一般人或只是想吃得健康一點都能透過本書釐清疑問、決定方法，並穩定邁向目標
