Customer Reviews

pretty good, could have been better

Buff Dad has good basic advice; identifying foods to eat and foods to avoid, and a little explanation about why. Some of the recipes sound awful, although I haven't tried any of them. It has lots of motivational, cheerleader type exhortations pitched at the ordinary Dad with a few pounds to lose. The photos of the author demonstrating the exercises are good, but limited and repetitive. In fact, everything here is repeated at least several times. The 280 pages could easily have been 50-60. But, that's a quibble since the price is right and the messages are clearly delivered.

Fabulous book for daddy!

I bought this book for my husband and ended up also reading it myself. Chock full of great tips and quick solutions for busy dads. It's the best daddy healthy/nutrition/fitness book out there. The hardest part was getting him to open it, but once he did he was hooked!

Encouraging

Excellent and informative book. It gives practical, useful and balanced wisdom. I found it very helpful since I'm busy but want to maximize my workout and eating efforts.

Great Book

I found this book well written and easy to follow. The tips given are very helpful as well as the detailed photos of exercises.

Great Plan for the forgotten Father

Okay ladies, we all had our babies and we sent our husbands out for chili cheese fries, cotton candy and snickers bars at 11 pm. Dutifully they went and bought us our horrendous craving foods but don't you think they snuck a bite too? Well, mine did and he gained a few love pounds. He would have really enjoyed this book because so many father's needs are ignored those first months. The advice is sound (and yes I do hold a degree in Kinesiology so YES I am qualified to make that statement). The format of the book is ideal and it will make a difference for that new Dad in your life. I think it's a great gift and if Mike can make the guy from Desperate Housewives into a Buff Dad I'm thinking this is a bargain.
