I wrote Knife, Fork, Muscle to give you the same kind of no-nonsense, straight-from-the-shoulder approach to diet and nutrition that my other books and courses apply to strength training and muscle-building.

When it comes to strength training and muscle-building, you want to know what works. You don’t want to waste one precious second on anything less than the best and most effective exercises and training programs.

You also don’t want any commercial bias. You want honest answers to all of the important questions. And you want the information packaged in plain English – and delivered in a simple, direct, easy to follow format. In short, you want something that you can use RIGHT NOW to build more strength and muscle than you ever imagined.

That’s what I’ve given you in my other books and courses – and it’s what I’m going to give you in Knife, Fork, Muscle.

If you’re serious about strength training and muscle-building, you’re also serious about diet and nutrition. And you’re probably confused. Maybe even frustrated. And feeling a little bit lost. That’s because there’s so much conflicting information out there.

“Eat THIS!” shouts one expert. “It’s the best thing in the world for you!”

“No, don’t eat THAT!” cries another expert. “It will kill you!”

And, of course, they’re talking about the very same thing.

Trying to figure things out is like traveling in a dense forest on a dark night. There’s a very good chance that you’re going to get lost. You may walk around in circles for a very long time. You may find yourself taking lots of wrong paths that go nowhere. And you may never find your way out.

That’s what happens to most people when it comes to diet and nutrition.They get lost. And they never find their way to diet and nutritional sanity.

That’s a crying shame – and it needs to stop. That’s another reason why I wrote Knife, Fork, Muscle. I want to help you cut through the confusion that surrounds so much conflicting advice on diet and nutrition.

To do that, I’ve devoted many long hours to studying the question of the best diet for strength training, muscle-building and lifelong health and fitness. I’ve tested many different theories and ideas on my own body. I’ve learned what works – and what doesn’t.

I’ve also received questions about diet and nutrition from trainees round the world. I know what’s on your mind – what questions you have – and what keeps you up at night. I also know what has worked for you – and what has failed.

I’ve put all of this information into Knife, Fork, Muscle. That makes it a complete guide to diet and nutrition for building lifelong strength and health.

Many years ago, legendary gym owner Vince Gironda famously said that successful bodybuilding was 80% nutrition. Others have placed the number even higher. That may or may not be true, but there’s no doubt that you’ll gain faster and better if you’re getting the vital nutrition your body requires.

That’s true for anyone, but it’s particularly true for hard-training Dinosaurs.

Think about it.

You do the hard stuff – the stuff so many others refuse to even try. You squat hard and heavy. You train hard and heavy on pulling exercises. You train hard and heavy on pushing exercises.

You train with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, sandbags, rocks, logs, Trap Bars, Log Bars, thick-handled barbells and dumbbells and a variety of heavy-duty grip-blasters. And you train with dedication, determination, focus and ferocity.

Your training is harder, heavier and far more intense than the vast majority of trainees – and that’s why you need to back up your training with the right kind of power-packed meals. After all, there’s no sense training that hard for minimal gains because you forgot to pay attention to your diet and nutrition.

And it would be downright crazy to put your health at risk by training hard and heavy and failing to give your body what it needs for recovery and recuperation.

You’ve got your training covered. Now cover the diet and nutrition piece of the puzzle. Knife, Fork, Muscle will show you how to do it!

If you need to add muscular bodyweight, Knife, Fork, Muscle will teach you how to eat to pack on the pounds – and how to gain solid muscle by combining the right kind of diet with the right kind of training.

But Knife, Fork, Muscle also teaches you how to maintain your current weight while you gradually harden up, losing unwanted fat as you build more strength and more muscle.

And if you need to do it, Knife Fork, Muscle teaches you how to drop any excess baggage you might be carrying – by giving you step-by-step instruction on how to take off unwanted pounds with diet and exercise – which is the ONLY way to do the job.

Food allergies and food intolerances are one of the dirty secrets of the Iron Game – and they’re one of the most common causes of failure, particularly among trainees who are seriously underweight or overweight.

That’s because many of the “healthy” foods that we’ve been told to eat for strength and health are highly allergenic. And, of course, because we’re training to build strength and muscle, and we’re burning lots of energy in our workouts, we’re told to consume massive amounts of them.

But we’re never told about food allergies and intolerances – and the devastating effects they can have on our training, our strength, our ability to gain muscle mass, and our ability to maintain a strong, lean, muscular body.

Nor have we been told about the vital importance of avoiding dangerous chemicals in the food eat – chemicals that may trigger or worsen food allergies, affect our training, and stop our progress dead in its tracks.

For example — did you know that many common chemicals in our food are highly estrogenic – meaning that they raise the estrogen levels in your body – and lower your testosterone levels?

Did you know that food and chemical allergies make it difficult or impossible for some trainees to follow any of the standard diets promoted for strength and health seekers? Or that food and chemical allergies cause some of us to require an all-organic diet to maintain optimum health?

Knife, Fork, Muscle offers a unique perspective on these critical issues, and teaches you how to develop a personalized diet and nutrition plan that takes food allergies and intolerances into account – and that helps you avoid dangerous chemicals and estrogenic substances in your diet.

And here’s an added bonus – and one that may come as a surprise to anyone who thinks that healthy eating requires sacrifice, deprivation and misery meals. Healthy meals that build strength, muscle and power taste GREAT!

Knife, Fork, Muscle is about real food and delicious meals featuring plenty of mouth-watering, nutrient-dense ingredients.

I’ve even included detailed advice on how to find affordable, fresh, locally grown food – and I share some of the strategies that we use here in Louisville to put plenty of fresh, delicious food on our plates at every meal.

I’ve even included some of my favorite meal plans and recipes. And no, I’m not a world-famous chef with a bushel-basket of fancy recipes – but I do know how to prepare a tasty and nutritious meal with a minimum of time and fuss.

Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
