I also recommend for anyone curious about nutrition from the casual exerciser to seasoned athlete. Very informative and easy to understand. A MUST read for nutritionists, dietitions, and personal trainers.
It also helps those who might have problems concerning their heart, blood sugar, blood pressure et al. You need not be an athlete or exercise regularly to benefit from Miss Clark's advice. I've lost my craving for sugar and salt. This is a common sense approach to weight loss and just feeling better. The only way I've ever lost weight is to eat low fat.
This book has the most sensible advice on weight loss of any book I've read, unlike the numerous diet books that are written more to motivate the reader than to provide real information. Also, if you want to lose weight, skip the fad diet books and read this one. I've read about ten books on nutrition in the last several years, and Nancy Clark's "Sports Nutrition Guidebook" is without a doubt the best. It is clear, scientific, cuts straight through the fluff, entertaining, and has a wealth of information.
The ideas apply to everyone, not just athletes. No gimmicks here or selling of the latest and greatest "diet". The book is well written with easy to understand concepts. Granted, there is some in depth information for athletes regarding breakdown of food groups and timing of meals and snacks. Just solid nutrition. You do not have to be a dietician to understand what Ms. Clark is talking about.
This book has it. "Boost your energy, reduce stress, lose body fat, build muscle, and improve your performance with the all-time best-selling sports nutrition guide."This is the ONLY book on nutrition you need (besides In Defense of Health and my program). I honor and thank Nancy for writing the most complete, simple, and profound books on nutrition.Don't waste your time, energy, and money with all the new fad diets that promise quick-fixes and instant-results with "super food", "magic pill", or "secret supplement."Eat 5-7 times small, balanced, natural meals a day; drink plenty of water; and eat in accordance to activity level.Being healthy isn't hard once you know the right information.
