1.0 out of 5 stars A substanceless dictionary of buzzwords and american faddery, 8 May 2001
By A Customer
Probably loved for a week by the short term attention span of the average american housewife (sorry, homemaker) this book is full of technical but ultimately usually useless jargon. The book is too focussed on the marathon/endurance athlete (so avoid if you are engaged in any other sports other than ironman tournaments) and excludes discussion of natural foodstuffs that are universally found, to labour advertising space on trendy American 'sport/food supplements', 'sports bars', 'sports drinks' and other US only fads, (sorry did i mean to say products?) Pages are devoted to complex and scientific sounding 'food formulae' (that are in sports practice rarely used) but fails to include large enough examples of non proprietary or non manufactured food groups (such as common fruits, vegetables and the like) for the inexperienced vegetarian athlete to find enough ingredients to create a decent meal. Similarly, it would be useful, having once worked out how much of a particular substance that you need in your diet (which is of course judged solely compared to two or three 'standard sports' practised by the string of close friends of the author that are featured in the book) it would be useful to know what foods actually contained the required food substance that would benefit you. Few recipes are included, and those that are are used as a vehicle to push American products many of which non US citizens would have never heard of. This book is of little use outside the US and even within it will soon date due to the preponderance of branded food products that are splashed across every page and will no doubt change with the seasons. If i were you i'd head for a book on more basic food biology and read about some values and diet plans involving foods that you may find in your average supermarket anywhere in the world, and that you may be able to actually construct a meaningful and varied diet from at home and abroad.
