| I was looking for a book that would teach me well grounded, scientific nutrition. The kind of book where I could learn what a nutritionist might learn in school. This book does just that. No fad stuff in here. She actually has a small section where she talks about the most common fad diets today, and points out their short comings(and even their strengths if they have any). I love how the book was organized to teach how to eat daily, before an event, during events, and after events. Some info on eating to lose weight, but this is not really a "diet" book, though I think even those looking to lose weight could benefit from this book. There is also info on how to gain weight if that is what you are looking for. |

| I paid for the fastest form of Federal Express delivery because my son needed it for a class that he was taking in New Zealand. He was leaving in a week. The book did not arrive until after he left!!!! I would have thought that the book would have arrived on time. Instead it arrived the day after he left. It would have cost over $100 to then try to mail it to him in New Zealland which I obviously was not going to do so I bought a book that he will never use. The bottom line --- I have no opinion about the book, but the delivery service was horrible!!!! I have received items faster using regular deliver. I found this very disappointing!!!! |
Great overview of nutrition principles

| Reviewer: Knud A. Hermansen, |
This is a great book for introducing you to overall nutrition concepts - even for those who are not focused on sports nutrition. One of my goals is to get a better understanding of how to eat right for my running and I used this book to get started.
Clark sites study after study to support her overall thesis and presents a very well support thesis. The major points that I got from this book were: (1) eat the right combination of nutrients by aiming for 3 of the 5 food groups at each meal and (2) the key to loosing or controlling weights in calories - not carb-protein ratios.
Clark first goes through each of the food groups and goes over what quantities and types we should be aiming for in each. Throughout the book she debunks various fad diets. She also spends a lot of time looking at eating disorders, which I did not find quite a useful. The final section of the book goes over numerous recipes.
