Product Description
Product Description
There has never been a more popular time to get fit. With soaring rates of obesity, more and more people are taking responsibility for their own health and following a fitness regime or taking up a sport. Exercising, whether working out in the gym, or running, cycling or swimming, makes us hungry. But all athletes - including amateur ones - have unique nutritional demands, and eating the right foods can have a dramatic effect on stamina and performance. And because keeping to a training program alongside career and family commitments is a major challenge, choosing the right meals every day to sustain your energy levels is vitally important. "The Top 100 Fitness Foods" is crammed with everything the athlete needs to know to maximise their endurance and achieve their personal best. Flip through the colour-coded sections to find authoritative information, delicious and easy recipes, lists of nutrients, at-a-glance symbols and tips for the 100 foods covered. Each food profile features a recipe: from delicious breakfasts to kick-start your energy, to power-packed lunches, peak-performance dinners, and even go-faster cakes, desserts and snacks. At the back of the book you'll also find an ailment directory for easy reference. With stunning photography throughout, this is a must-have book for anyone who wants to push themselves that extra mile.

Format:Paperback
I took this book out first from the library and was so impressed I had to buy it! Very easy to follow with quick-reference guides about what foods to introduce at what times coupled with menu planners. Loved the layout, the non-patronising tone of the text and the healthy, well-balanced diet. My daughter has loved every puree, and feed times are exciting as she discovers fresh new foods and food combinations. I was concerned about the amount of time preparing and cooking every meal would take but I have found the batch-cooking philosophy easy as I only have to cook 2-3 times a week! It's been quite an adventure trying new foods and new tastes but I have been completely convinced and know that I am giving my daughter the most nutritious start in life - I wouldn't do without this book now!

I bought this book recently for my two beautiful children, one 3, the other 5. I am so pleased with this purchase because it is a great way to provide a healthy meal with true sustenance for my family, it fits in perfectly with our busy lifestyle. The recipes are not just appealing to my children, both my wife and I really enjoy the bursting flavours achieved with such modest ingredients, this surely is a must for any parent who values their child's health and well-being over convenience. I will continue to recommend this book to every parent I come into contact with and I eagerly anticipate the next addition to my collection!

Highly recommended
Too many kids recipes focus on wheat and dairy. At last here is a recipe book that doesn't. Loads of ideas of what to do with other wholegrains such as quinoa, beans, millet etc. Read more
