Product Description
Product Description
If you are a serious runner, or are thinking about starting running or run/walk program to keep fit and help you loss weight, forget about the traditional food pyramid - or today' low-carb diets. As noted dietician Madelyn Fernstrom, Ph.D C.N.S., explains, the eating plan that best meets the needs (runners at all levels is based on a 50 percent carb, 25 percent protein, 25 percent fat ratio. Here Dr. Fernstrom details realistic program, individualized for each person's activity level, that will enable runners to maximize their performance while maintaining long-term success at weight control. In "Runner's World: The Runner's Diet", the reader will discover: why the 50-25-25 ratio works best for runners-an even walkers; how to match your eating pattern to your running style; and how to make use of a daily food and activity log. With the imprimatur of Runner's World, the leading authority in the running field, this is the first book to recognize that runners cannot depend solely on physical activity to control their weight - and to outline a lifetime weight-loss plan that is best for their special needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Good but limited information -- lots of filler to make a book,
By Dendera (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Runner's Diet (Runners World) (Paperback)
The only difference between this book and any other runners or non-runners magazine, book, pamphlet, or programme for weight loss is that it gives a specific ratio of carbohydrates to fats to protein appropriate for running (i.e., 50:25:25) and reminds you that, yes, vegetables are carbohydrates, not just pasta and potatoes.
Other than that, the the rest of the book reads like info and filler and stretching out what is a very useful but easy-to-impart bit of advice. If you have any other books on running, if you have ever been on any diet or eating plan, if you have ever glanced on the internet at a running site for their diet info -- this book will seem like a collasal waste of money. If you know absolutely nothing about eating at all, and this is the first nutriion/diet/exercise book you have ever purchase, you will be pleased to be introduced to the basics. All the rest of us, just remember that daily food intake ratio: eating in the vicinity of 50% carbs, 25% fat, 25% protein... and you don't need this book. There, I've saved you some dosh :) -- but of course other studies show that ratio to have about 10% more fat than most women runners need when they want to lose weight, but... now I'm just being picky...

Not so good,
By Daisy "1985" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Runner's Diet (Runners World) (Paperback)
I bought this book to help my running by changing my diet.
It is full of fluff/filler and little fact. I wouldn't recommend this if you have any knowledge of a healthly diet.

A good book for all dieters,
By Road Runner (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Runner's Diet (Runners World) (Paperback)
This is a useful book for people wanting to start a diet and who wants to use running/walking as a mean to the end. It gives a good rationale behind the dieting process (calories in vs. calories out) and I learn a few things at the same time. No magic potion for the more experienced runner to be found though.
