    What do you hope to get out of it?!

    The first couple of the NSCA Essentials of Strength and Conditioning manual are excellent from a physiological standpoint. The Paleo Solution is a fantastic over view of diet. And despite the amount of crap he talks, Starting Strength is a great introduction to the barbell lifts.

    just about diet, what should I eat and not eat to maintain a healthy diet while working out. I head to gym a couple of times a week and am interested in building up muscle and toning my stomach.

    Thanks for your reply

    Eat meat and veg, nuts and seeds, fruit, a small bit of starch and little or no sugar.
