Customer Reviews

Awesome. Complete book with everything you need.

I've read.... many books on sports nutrition and fitness. Alot. An embarrassing amount, really. Enough on that. This is the one I recommend. Everything you need. No silly fads or dangerous ideas or stupid stuff. You don't have to read 50 books. Just this one. Its not intimidating either. The author never oversteps her expertise, doesn't claim to know things that no one knows... instead she briefly explains the research, for and against, and leaves it up to you to decide. What could be more honest? It is British... some of the food doesn't exist here, and others have different names. Rocket is arugula. I've had no luck ever finding nonfat or lowfat fresh farmers cheese in the states... too bad really.

Best Book and a Must (Want to Equip with Knowledge)

This the best book on sports nutrition I have read so far. this book is for those who want to equip themselves with knowledge and get the best out of their physique. This book has amazing section....it tells us what to eat ...when to eat.....how to eat (recipes)...tells you which latest supplements that work and without promoting any brand......the book seems to be clean as it seems not to have funded by any supplement manufacturer... It is a must for those who have partial or no knowledge about nutrition.....It is a also good learning once again for those who have very good knowledge.... Amazing and a must.....

The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition

This book is one of the best I've seen on the subject - very thorough and written at a level you don't need a degree in physiology to understand yet clearly explains some pretty complex topics. If you're looking for one book to cover the subject you needn't look any further. As a side note, I used the book as an aide for training for several marathons. Not only did I drop my BF to 12% but set a PR to boot!
