5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential Reading,
By ToddyGee (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (Complete Guides) (Paperback)
This is one of those few perspective-changing books that you come across. I have been interested in weight-training, cardio activities and sports nutrition for a number of years, in the hope that I will improve my fitness levels and get leaner/more muscular. Up until reading this book I depended solely on magazines such as Muscle and Fitness for information and guidelines, but finding progress to be quite slow. This book changed everything. From the outset it is easily accessible but very informative, providing effective and revealing advice. As a result I am eating more healthily and effectively as regards to my training needs, and have found my progress to have quickened considerably. Extremely useful is the section on how much of carbs, protein and fat you need to eat for different goals (weight gain, fat loss, or sports-specific needs). It is ESSENTIAL reading to anyone who cares about their health, but especially for those who take their training and/or body composition seriously. Trust me, you'll be glad you bought this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for anyone interested in nutrition,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (Paperback)
I am a keen sports person (not professional) and was looking for a book that would tell me what I needed to eat and WHY. This does both of those jobs very well, infact at the end Anita includes some recipes and menus to try out.The format of the book made it easy to read. I would love to memorise the book, but I can't so instead when I need to look something up, I just search for the grey boxes where questions are answered, food ideas are given and summaries are provided. There's alot of information, but the format helps break this up.

This review is from: Sports Nutrition (Complete Guide to) (Complete Guides) (Paperback)
I have been training for about 4 months now, and last ,month I bought a book from Amazon called Muscle Mechanics which was great.
But there was a piece of the jigsaw missing - nutrition. I ordered this book based on reviews etc. And I am extremely happy to say it is all I will ever need. I know little about nitriotion, but this book has given me a much better understanding. I have already made adjustments to my diet and based on the advice in the book will start taking additional supplements. If your Vegan, young, old - this book is for you.
