Cooking & Recipes review
Anabolic Cooking review
A $9 PDF cookbook and nutrition guide by bodybuilder Dave Ruel with more than 200 muscle-building recipes, a quick-start guide and free updates, priced the same on the page and on the order form.
Worth it
At $9 the offer is easy to size up: a PDF cookbook with more than 200 recipes, a quick-start guide and free updates, priced the same on the page and on the form, with 60 days to ask for a refund. For someone who simply wants a large recipe collection, the value is good. The weak spot is the promotional language. The page says the book will change your life, will get you to your goals faster than any training program or supplement, and 'flat out works', and it hints that packaged food explains rising cancer rates. It also carries a frank note that the typical result is zero and that there is no miracle pill. The author is named but no company address is shown. A fine cheap recipe collection, but not a promise of results.

Anabolic Cooking at a glance
Anabolic Cooking is a digital cookbook and nutrition guide by Dave Ruel, a bodybuilder and fitness coach who signs the sales page as its author. The page says it holds more than 200 recipes aimed at muscle building and fat loss, plus a Quick Start guide covering nutrition basics, cooking methods, preparing a week of meals in about three hours, post-workout nutrition and grocery savings. Free updates for life are promised. Delivery is instant as a PDF that opens on any computer, tablet or phone. The page says the book has sold more than 100,000 copies since 2009, a figure it does not source. The order form is named Anabolic Cooking 2.0 and charges $9.00 once, the same price the page shows, with a 60-day refund window. Ruel is named, but the text of the page gives no company, address or phone, and its 'Featured In' section names no outlets.
