5.0 out of 5 stars
Just what I was looking for !!!,
By James Grace (Warminster, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide: Peak Performance for Everyone from Beginners to Gold Medalists (Paperback)
If you consider yourself to be an endurance athlete (of any type) and you are (or aspire to be) a vegan, then this book is definitely for you. I have seen many other books that say the word "Vegetarian" on the cover, when they really mean ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian (eggs, milk, and fish). This book lives up to it's title by featuring lots of recipes, example diets (from professional vegan athletes), and nutrition information for vegans (persons who eat absolutely NO animal products)!

A Must Read for All Vegetarians,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide: Peak Performance for Everyone from Beginners to Gold Medalists (Paperback)
I have been vegetarian for 12 years and this book is the greatest. Not only does it give detailed information about protein and your body's needs, but it has great recipies. The recipies alone are a good reason to buy it. They are simple and easy to cook. It is very practical. It sure beats doing it they way I did it when I started beng vegetarian. I just started eating peanut butter sandwiches for weeks until I figured out how to eat healthy. Even if you have been vegetarian for a long time, you will probably learn something from this book.

Informative but a difficult to decipher,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide: Peak Performance for Everyone from Beginners to Gold Medalists (Paperback)
I found this book difficult to digest. The language used throughout appears to be some form of official medical speak; so much so that - as an example - in one section, I could not determine whether the author advocated drinking cranberry juice or not (until the last sentence of that sections which seemed to suggest that it is a benefit). That being said, I found the information useful although not very clearly presented. I look forward to a revised edition in which the editor(s) revises the language so that it is comprehensible to those without a medical or nutrition background.
