The book is broken down in multiple sections so the OP knows what they are buying.
The first 40-50 pages is about caloric balance. Understanding the difference between dropping calories, adding cardio, and how you shuold approach it for a contest prep.
Cliffs --> Keep calories as high as possible, cardio as low as possible. This allows for variety, flexibility, and leverage when you stall. He gives you step by step guidelines on how he suggests removing calories, adding cardio, and what forms of cardio.
2nd portion --> Studies, Graphs, research associated with contest prep dieting. Tips, Tricks, articles and basically a step by step guide to going through contest prep. For example Eric Helms study on natural bodybuilding contest prep:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4033492/
He goes into a lot of detail on setting up macros, how to adjust them, what supplements he would suggest , and how to get through sticking points. If you like research and enjoying listing to his youtube videos this will be very informative to the scientific portion of dieting.
3rd potion --> How to reverse diet. Tips and suggestions on how to add back food, how to eliminate cardio, and how aggressive one should be coming off a contest prep diet. He includes examples of what NOT to do, and some experiences he has seen (People pig out, eat too much, regret going overboard , etc). For a first time person competing it would be VERY helpful to read this and understand the consequences of post-show and how you can turn your hard work to rubble in a matter of a few days.
Final Portion --> Posing. There is a massive outline on all the mandatory poses for bodybuilding. For many they would not see this coming, but it is very beneficial because posing is what wins shows. If you can't show off your hard work and make an illusion on stage of looking better then your competition then you will lose. Getting lean is necessary, having good symmetry and size is a portion to the puzzle. Being able to show that and flow through your posing is critical to how you are graded by judges.
This is not even close to true at all. Stop posting false information
You toot beef is magical, and that everyone should eat it (when the human body is not a textbook), and you are basically just re-iterating the vertical diet. Not everyone responds to what ONE person preaches.

You state that broccoli expands your waist (with 0 scientific backing) yet I can show you pictures of hundreds of competitors who eat it right up to their show.

Instead of writing novels and giving a one sided argument, actually be open to discussion and be able to have proof besides your own self.
