Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale is one of the most influential voices on diet, performance nutrition and athletic training in the world. His innovative work in finding safe nutritional alternatives to anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs has won him praise from athletes, trainers and fitness experts around the globe.

Dr. Di Pasquale was a world class athlete for over 15 years, winning the World Championships in Powerlifting in 1976 and World Games in 1981. Today he balances a busy career as a licensed physician in Ontario, Canada with his demanding schedule as a consultant and researcher.

Over the years he has worn many hats. he was an assistant professor at the University of Toronto for over a decade up until 1998. In the early to mid 1990s he served as Drug Program Advisor for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Bodybuilding Federation, and Medical Review Officer for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). For the past two years he has been involved in research and product development for Experimental and Applied Sciences (EAS) and as a member of the EAS Scientific Advisory Panel. He is certified in North America as a Medical Review Officer and Master of Fitness Sciences.

During his long career, he has written several books and hundreds of articles on nutrition, sports medicine and drug use for a variety of international magazines and journals. With these books and articles and as editor-in-chief of the quarterly newsletter DRUGS IN SPORTS and the bimonthly ANABOLIC RESEARCH REVIEW, he brought his expertise to the international community for more than two decades.

In 1995, Dr. Di Pasquale released two new books. The first, THE ANABOLIC DIET, presents a diet program that has been hailed as the first effective, no-nonsense alternative to anabolic steroids. Since it was first released, The Anabolic Diet has become one of the most popular bodybuilding ever and has achieved almost a cult status. The BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENT REVIEW, provides a reliable, in-depth look at the many nutritional supplements on the market, and brings a much needed breath of fresh air to an industry long noted for wild claims and ineffective products.

In 1997 his authoritative book on amino acids and proteins was published by CRC Press. Amino Acids and Proteins for the Athlete - The Anabolic Edge, has been claimed as the one of the best books ever published on the topic of diet and nutritional supplements.

Now, in THE METABOLIC DIET, he brings his 40 years of experience in nutrition and hormonal research to you. The Metabolic Diet is a revolutionary plan for using the high fat foods you love to manipulate the body's natural hormones to not only burn off fat but shape and tone your body. It attacks the carbohydrate mania fueled by the media and food industry and gives you a simple, practical, tasty plan for taking off the weight, keeping it off and creating the kind of firm, healthy body you want.

But the Metabolic Diet, although useful for almost everyone, wasn’t meant for bodybuilders or other athletes who were looking for maximum increases in lean muscle mass, power and performance. These athletes were still using the Anabolic Diet, even though it was superceded by the Metabolic Diet, because it was geared more for bodybuilders.

I then decided to write the ANABOLIC SOLUTION series of books to cater specifically to bodybuilders, powerlifters, and other athletes. My new Anabolic Solution series is made up of four books, two of which are now available and two that I’m presently working on. The AS series combines a focused look at using the Metabolic Diet and nutritional supplements in various phases of training and competition for most sports.

THE ANABOLIC SOLUTION for Recreational and Competitive Bodybuilders is an expanded, revised and updated Anabolic Diet. It takes the original Anabolic Diet and updates it with the new information and guidelines that are in the Metabolic Diet. But there’s more since it ties the dieting in with phases of training (mass, strength, cutting, etc.) and with my line of nutritional supplements (which were specifically formulated for the Anabolic/Metabolic Diet) - in other words the whole Monty. That's the reason I named it the Anabolic Solution rather than just an update of the Anabolic Diet.

The Anabolic Solution for Bodybuilders does what the Anabolic Diet was meant to do but couldn’t because it lacked some of the information and integration. The Anabolic Solution is all about manipulating lean body mass and body fat. And it does this by affecting metabolic changes and altering the body’s anabolic and the catabolic hormones and growth factors. But the Anabolic Solution is more than just the best natural way to reach your training goals. By duplicating much of what people get from the use of ergogenic and body composition changing drugs the Anabolic Solution is a safe, effective, and natural alternative to the use of these drugs.

THE ANABOLIC SOLUTION for Recreational and Competitive Powerlifters does the same thing for powerlifters as the AS for BB does for bodybuilders. The other two books in the series will be for individual (including the fighting sports) and team sports that have an off and on season, and for endurance athletes.

The bottom line is that the Anabolic Solution for Bodybuilders is much more advanced and completely replaces the Anabolic Diet.
