An invaluable resource for active people and a classic reference for nutrition professionals.

Revised and updated, Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, Fifth Edition, provides answers to many of the questions we are so often asked by clients. With the wealth of nutrition advice available to consumers, there is confusion as to what, how and when to eat for optimal health and peak athletic performance. Nancy clears up that confusion by offering sound, sustainable nutrition advice that works! Easy to read and well organized with a great index, so an RD or reader can easily look up a topic and quickly find an answer.

The book is divided into 4 sections: 1) Everyday eating for active people, 2) the science of eating and exercise, 3) balancing weight and activity, and 4) winning recipes for peak performance. The information is invaluable on a broad spectrum, from fitness exerciser to competitive athlete.

The weight management section is helpful for active people who are trying to diet and exercise simultaneously. I counsel fitness exercisers, and competitive athletes struggling with eating disorders. For many of these individuals, changing food beliefs and behaviors is a daunting task. The client success stories Nancy shares have helped my clients move toward a healthier relationship with food and exercise.

You will learn what and how to eat before, during and after exercise events. Family-friendly recipes and meal plans are included to maximize the nutritional benefit from food. The recipes are simple to make, have few ingredients and designed for hungry athletes who are novice cooks.

This book is comprehensive in its coverage of nutrition, especially with regards the selection of foods for athletes. As a fifth edition, it tackles many of the questions that arise amidst the many types of diet fads these days. The coverage of diet and exercise is extensive and the author Nancy Clark thoroughly documents the research that supports her recommendations. The book uses a balanced approach to planning healthy meals, with lists of fruits and vegetables and their benefits. It discusses what should be considered when deciding if organic foods are necessary, as well as the importance of calcium and Vitamin D and good sources for lactose tolerant and intolerant people. Also listed are good sources of protein, consideration of the types of fat, sugar, considerations for a sustainable diet pattern when thinking about the cardiovascular system, high blood pressure and cholesterol. Cancer, diabetes, and bone health are all touched upon. The book walks through considering your daily routine, especially with regards to meals (frequency and type), and strategies to help you fuel your body evenly throughout the day. The book focuses on many of the concerns specific to athletes, in terms of eating the right foods at the right times to have the energy required for workouts and performance during competitions. It also gives strategies for athletes that are looking to gain weight. The book is helpful in that it considers budget constraints when discussing issues like the need for organic foods (if money is no concern, then the athlete would always choose the foods without pesticides), and the cost of buying protein
supplements versus other cheaper and more effective sources of protein.
