Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA-- As a consultant to the Boston Celtics, Clark is well equipped to advise sports aficionados on their training diets. Although her focus is primarily on the serious athlete, her nutrition tips can be useful to anyone desiring a healthy lifestyle. Discussion of the carbohydrate issue, foods to eat before and after exercising, fluids, and supplements are presented. There is also a section on weight control tips as well as suggestions for gaining weight. Healthful recipes with nutritional and caloric information complete the volume. Most of this is information is basic and is available elsewhere, but Clark's abundant use of charts and diagrams and her enthusiatic presentation make the book a winner. --Anne Paget, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, TX

Great book if you want to improve your performance,
By music lover "rigor mortis is my only hope for... (Norman, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, 2ND Ed (Paperback)
I just read my title and probably should clarify that I am talking about your sports performance!!! I am currently training for a marathon and have used the information in this book to improve my nutrition to optimal levels for the extended running levels of marathon training. It has gotten me through well. I have been able to keep my weight stable and my energy levels up. Highly readable, it provides accurate and useable information on sports nutrition. I also recommend the "Food Guide for Marathoners" from the same author, which is more specific to the marathon runner.

My food bible!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, 2ND Ed (Paperback)
Wow!! I am more than amazed at the wealth of information that is in this book! It answers all of the food choice questions you ever had, as well as tons you didn't know you had. All issues are addressed. What should I eat for breakfast, what is are some good snacks, what foods will fill me up, give me energy, and so-on. You come away totally eduacated and ready for any situation when it comes to eating and nutrition. You don't have to be an athlete. I go to the gym 4 times a week and wanted to find out how to energise myself. This is THE eating bible. If you have any questions about what to eat, when to eat it and why, buy this book!!
