This is a list of researchers, bodybuilders, and trainers who have written informative books or who have useful information on their sites. I haven’t gone through all of these sites, so it’s important to remember that advice is much more believable if it cites scientific evidence. Exercise advice that doesn’t cite scientific sources is not as reliable. More resources are linked in the post Low Carb and Paleo Diet Links.
