5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, 14 Mar 2002

By A Customer

What can I say? A superb book on the subject. A must-read for any type of athlete whether you're into bodybuilding, running, soccer, triathlon or whatever sport you may be into. I'd even recommend it to the non-athlete looking to lose weight as the principles also apply. I mean if you want to look like an athlete, then eat like one.

I'm not a serious athlete, definitely an amateur but I thought the book was brilliant. I never realised how bad my diet was before reading this. And how important staying hydrated was and how the timing of my meals affected my body's ability to absorb food.

The tone of the book is very much against taking supplements (with a few exceptions e.g. glycerol to keep distance runners hydrated). Rather the author believes you should be able to get everything you need from your normal diet if you eat correctly from a wide variety of foods. Despite this, he still does a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of supplements.

Despite the subject matter, the writing style is not dry and is in fact fun to read

Describes basic nutrients that athletes should seek and avoid
Timing of meals including pre-competition diet
Hydration
For the purposes of diet, he breaks athletes into 2 basic groups: those training for strength and those training for endurance. And describes how each of these groups should be eating differently. And within those groups he also provides advice for particular sports.
