âChris has been my in-camp nutritionist for two-plus years and has worked with me for five training camps in a row. With his help and cooking skills, Iâve been able to train harder and make weight easier. I was instantly amazed with how much food I was able to eat and still lose weight. Many of the recipes in this book are not only healthy, but they also look and taste great!â
â Daniel Jacobs, current IBF world middleweight boxing champion and former WBA world middleweight boxing champion
âThis book helped me lean up and perform better during training and competition without feeling like Iâm on a diet or having cravings. The recipes Chris give you are simple, delicious, and nutritious. Itâs an easy-to-follow lifestyle and the results have been amazing for meâand theyâll be tremendous for you.â
â Aung La Nsang, professional MMA fighter and current ONE world middleweight champion and ONE world light heavyweight champion
âChris Algieri is one of the biggest and most fit boxers at his weight class and is a world champion. He makes me confident that not only will I make weight, but I will also perform at my peak performance. He made specific adjustments for my body type and has a great understanding of individual needs. This book will be a great resource for anybody.â

âChris has helped me with my diet for my entire 10-year career in mixed martial arts. He has helped with my day-to-day nutrition in and out of fight camps, my weight-cut protocol, and my rehydration program for after weigh-ins, which to me are the most important. Chris doesnât only tell you what to eat and when to eat it, but he also breaks down how every personâs body is different and reacts to certain foods different and he explains why I should eat certain foods and why eating them at a specific time is so important. Having him on my team absolutely gave me a tremendous advantage over my competition. I wouldnât trust anyone else with my diet.â
â Ryan LaFlare, retired UFC fighter
âIâve been an athlete my entire life, but nutrition has always overwhelmed me. We live in a culture of fad diets. Consumers are taught to believe you need to starve in order to lose weight. As a result, the public, like me, gets overwhelmed and discouraged. We tend to starve ourselves to lose weight, and when we canât take it anymore, we binge. Chrisâs book has made it finally possible for me to break that cycle. I realize eating healthy doesnât mean I have to be hungry. It doesnât have to be boring. Not only do I notice a difference in my physical appearance, but the difference in my mood is also amazing. I can think clearer and feel generally happier just by finally finding a way to maintain healthy eating habits. I think this book serves value to not only those competing but also to anyone looking to make positive changes in their health!â
â Sarah Thomas, 2018 New York Golden Gloves winner

âHaving known Chris and seeing the way he eats for a few years now, Iâve seen with my own eyes the superhuman capabilities it gives someone when they get their nutrition on point. I absolutely love that heâs not only finally sharing a taste of his secret recipes but also a ton of educational content so one can make it relevant to their own lifestyle and delivered using a system that seems very simple to implement.â
â Avril Mathie, professional boxer and Miss Swimsuit USA International 2015
