Nice article. IMO nutrient timing is the best way to diet. I've been doing it for ~10months now and the results are unreal. Fat loss while gaining muscle.
A good book to buy at amazon.com is "nutrient timing system" by john ivy. Its really cheap to buy too.

I purchased the book recently, thinking it was going to help endurance training for my marathon training. I think it can be adapted a little, and I will use it for the strength training in any case. What do you use to get the right combination of proteins and carbs as recommended. Do you make your own recipe? can you recommend a product? do you concentrate on getting a carb that is high on the glycemic index for post work out meal?

Thanks

You can buy all three components for the Nutrient Timing System at GNC. Get the Gold card to save 20% at the beginning of each month. Search google for "Nutrient Timing System" to go to their website which describes the products.

The NTS has given me much more energy and faster recovery times.
