The Real Performance Enhancer

I discovered this book while in college. I was a non-dairy vegetarian stuck in the mid west in a time when being concerned with ones health seemed kooky! To make matters worse I was a walk on the track and field team and an 800m runner. When I got the book I had hit a wall in my performance. The book was comprehensive, easy to read (I read it front to back) and everything seemed to make good sense. I tried the suggestions and found an almost immediate improvement in my energy levels mood and performance. My last 2 years of collage post reading this book I was placed on athletic scholarship and doing very well. The recipes in the book aside from juicing and protein shakes are very bland and I would suggest getting a cookbook or checking the web. Especially useful is the section on vitamins and minerals their uses and suggested amounts and forms for athletes. Workout planning is also quite compressive. The book is also good for those not involved in any sports.
