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Your Saturday workouts at the gym have been replaced by Saturday Little League games; your morning run has become running out the door to make the daycare drop-off; and your romantic (and healthy) sushi night has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.

 Fabulous book for daddy! August 29, 2008
I bought this book for my husband and ended up also reading it myself. Chock full of great tips and quick solutions for busy dads. It's the best daddy healthy/nutrition/fitness book out there. The hardest part was getting him to open it, but once he did he was hooked!
 good wake up call August 3, 2008
I really liked the tone of this book. Buff Dad has a lot of common sense in it with a big focus on the exercises. The diet advice is good, but I wanted more of the practical kind of advice. A full blown shopping list would have been helpful, but what I need to work on is how do I eat more healthy when the rest of the family isn't quite as into this thing as I am.
BTW, notice that the website for the book is buffdads.com (plural of buffdad). If you go to buffdad.com it is some trainer in NO.
 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.
