From Puffy Daddy to Buff Daddy: The 4-Week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys
Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 5, 2008 -- Women aren't the only ones who gain weight during pregnancy and parenthood--the latest research shows that men put on"sympathy pounds" and continue to gain weight when each child comes along because late-night feedings and child care eat away at the time and motivation that was once reserved for exercise. Well, not anymore.
A nutritionist and trainer to many star athletes, including Charles Oakley and JT Snow, Mike Levinson is a dad, too--who put on 50 pounds when his wife had their first child. Using his expertise in the gym and in the kitchen, he put together the Buff Dad program to lose weight, tone up, and regain the energy that had fallen by the wayside.
In just four weeks, Mike gives harried dads the motivation, exercise tips, and diet advice to burn off pounds without burning away precious time. The secret? The Buff Dad four-week workout blitz, which builds muscle in half the time (just 30 minutes a day), combined with foods that boost testosterone levels in the body. By combining these testosterone super-foods with the exercises, men will see and feel a difference in just 28 days. Packed with meal plans, an illustrated workout guide, guy-friendly recipes, and shopping lists, the book shows real men everywhere how to lose the "dad fat" and become buff dads for good.
Mike Levinson (West Hills, CA) is a former amateur bodybuilding champion and registered dietician who holds dual degrees in sports nutrition and physical education. He has worked extensively as a nutritionist with the California Angels baseball team and with famous athletes such as Charles Oakley, JT Snow, Jim Abbott, Gary DiSarcina, and Sean Rooks of the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers. He also worked as a nutritionist with both the Chicago Bears football team and the Oakland Raiders.
Buff Dad: The 4-Week Fitness Game Plan for Real Guys is published by Health Communications, Inc. (HCI) and available online or at your favorite bookstore, $16.95. Call (800) 851-9100 ext. 212 or email: kimw @ hcibooks.com for a copy of the book or to set up an interview with author, Mike Levinson.
