Product Description
A perennial Pro-Bowler, NFL tight end Tony Gonzalez has been an unstoppable force for all of his 12 years in the NFL. But for a long time, he ate like an average American: red meat, pizza, fast food, whatever was plentiful and convenient. Concerned about his long-term, post-career health, Tony decided to change his diet. With the help of Mitzi Dulan, nutritionist for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals, Tony embarked on a revolutionary new clean-eating and exercise regimen that changed his life, elevated his physical and mental performance, and resulted in dramatic, measurable improvements on and off the field. It was this dietary change that led him to break two NFL records—most touchdowns and receptions by any tight end in NFL history—in a single season. Now in The All-Pro Diet, Gonzalez reveals the program, low in animal protein and high in whole organic plant-based and unprocessed foods, that has given him more strength, stamina, and energy than ever before. The first-ever diet and fitness plan from an NFL player, this book will show you how to make simple lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more energetic than ever before. The All-Pro Diet includes: -Meal plans designed to take the guesswork out of making smart food choices -An array of delicious and wholesome recipes for every meal -Tony’s Ultimate Fitness Program—no weight machines required -The 8-Point Plan of Attack for achieving the All-Pro Mindset You don't have to be a pro player to get the insider nutrition advice. The All-Pro Diet is an eating plan for anyone who wants to live a longer, healthier life. Get started today!

Great read for any young athlete November 23, 2009
M. Eis (Kansas City, MO)
I live in Kansas City and I'm a life long Chiefs fan so when I heard one of my all time favorite athletes had wrote a book on nutrition - a topic of great interest to me - I picked up a copy.
The message of the book is consistent with everything else on the market today: eat whole foods, go organic when possible, limit red meat, no sugar, nothing processed, etc. The difference is the messenger: a professional athlete whose livelihood depends on his body being in top physical form. I think it gives the message a whole new credence and reaches a whole new audience that doesn't typically buy into the message.
I enjoyed the book but I'm not the right audience. I am a 40 year old, healthy female. I run for exercise and already follow a fairly healthy diet. If I ate like Tony, I'd be as big as Tony. One of his morning smoothies has over 400 calories!
I gave this book to my nephew who wants to be a professional ball player just like Tony. It's a wonderful book for kids his age. The message is so positive. The book itself is an easy read, easy to understand and follow. It's not full of complicated nutritional information or data analysis. His approach is simple and easy to understand. The lesson is equally clear: If you eat right and exercise your body will reward you by doing the things you need it to do.
I found his 17 guiding principles at the end of the book very inspiring. Tony encourages mental and emotional health as well as the physical.
I love that my nephew and young son can find someone in professional sports that uses a healthy, almost holistic approach to fitness and conditioning instead of the guy whose physique was created through steroids or other performing enhancing drugs.
Nice Job Tony! You have given us another reason to love you. We miss you, come home soon!
Easy Read November 20, 2009

I like this book because it is easy to read and the things in the book are easy to follow. The recipes are easy to follow. I recommend this because it is an easy way to eat right and not be on a diet.
Practical Advice..Finally! September 8, 2009

I absolutely loved this book. Mitzi and Tony are a powerhouse combination filled with expertise that can be applied to anyone - from the most hardcore of athletes to moderate exercisers. This book plays on the evidence-based knowledge of a registered dietitian (the only regulated credential available for those providing nutrition advice) and an all star athlete. Both points of view - scientific background and practical application - allow for the most balanced approach to nutrition for performance out there.
My favorite addition is the 17 All Pro Diet Principles. If you turn to any one page - THIS SHOULD BE IT! The tips are available in a quick, easy to digest format that hits every topic key to losing fat, building muscle, and living like a champion.
After studying nutrition for four years, I have had to weed my way through the "junk" on the bookstore shelves from self-proclaimed nutrition experts. I can definitely recommend this book as the real deal!

Finally!! A Great book and audiobook This is a no nonsense approach to food and life an extremely easy to follow program.I think Mitzi and Tony arm you with just the right amount of information too suceed the rest is on you.It is pretty hard to argue with the credentials of these two.Tony is an amazing guy on and more importantly off the field a great role model anything he gets behind is good enough for me.Mitzi has some very impressive accolades in the field of diet and nutrition and has found a way to bring it all together so that anyone can understand!I have read and listened to tons of diet/lifestyle books but this one tops my list!!

Ready to Revamp your Diet? September 1, 2009
Nicole Geurin (California)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is great for anyone who is serious about revamping their diet and ready to start living healthfully. This diet is appropriate for anyone- from kids, to businesswomen to Pro Athletes. It is nutritionally sound (co-written with a Registered Dietitian) and provides recipes, nutrition info, meal plans, and exercise plans.
This book advocates eating whole foods that are "as close to nature as possible." (It highly discourages fast food and highly processed foods.) It emphasizes making a lifestyle change for lifelong health, not a quick fad diet. The plan is, however, great for those wanting to lose weight. The diet is not about deprivation; in fact, you will likely feel more satisfied than ever before on this diet!
In summary, I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about making a major diet and lifestyle change, now or at some point down the road, and is looking for one of the most healthy, wholesome diets possible.
