Product Description
Product Description
Loren Cordain, Ph.D., follows his success of The Paleo Diet with the first book ever to detail the exercise-enhancing effects of a diet similar to that of our Stone Age ancestors.
When The Paleo Diet was published, advocating a return to the diet of our ancestors (high protein, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables), the book received brilliant reviews from the medical and nutritional communities. Jennie Brand-Miller, coauthor of the bestselling Glucose Revolution, called it "without a doubt the most nutritious diet on the planet." Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades, authors of Protein Power, said, "We can't recommend The Paleo Diet highly enough."
Now Dr. Cordain joins with USA triathlon and cycling elite coach Joe Friel to adapt the Paleo Diet to the needs of athletes. The authors show:
o Why the typical athletic diet (top-heavy with grains, starches, and refined sugars) is detrimental to recovery, performance, and health
o How the glycemic load and acid-base balance impact performance
o Why consumption of starches and simple sugars is only beneficial in the immediate post-exercise period
At every level of competition, The Paleo Diet for Athletes can maximize performance in a range of endurance sports.

I'm a triathlete not a nutritionist - This book is perfect for me.,
By
This review is from: The Paleo Diet for Athletes: A Nutritional Formula for Peak Athletic Performance (Paperback)
Great book targeted for athletes but the paleo diet works for everyone. This diet is heavily based on rationalizing what you should eat and why for your non-training diet and combines this approach with years of research and field testing of athletic dieting.I love this book but remember to do you own research (check who funded that research to reassure yourself that it's not biased, ie milk producers telling you dairy products are great for you) before buying into anything. The Paleo Diet for Athletes works for me, I hope it works for you too.

Endurance Athletes, Paleo Diet,

This review is from: The Paleo Diet for Athletes: A Nutritional Formula for Peak Athletic Performance (Paperback)
If you are an endurance athlete, do not run another step until you read this book. If you want to make every step count, you must provide your body with the proper fuel and L. Cordain and J. Friel know what that is. They provide all the details for every step of your training for the entire year and each race. They cover all different race distances as well. This book gives you all the information needed and the scientific background explaining why the paleo diet is the only way for athletes.

Very interesting book. The approach is more towards long distance or endurance athletes but it can be apply to strenght athletes like I am. Since I have started paleo diet, I have kept my weight but loss fat. I also feel stronger and faster.
