Whats the best diet for good health and athletic performance? In her Sports Nutrition Guidebook, Nancy Clark, MS, RD, describes the dietary balance and specific foods shown to be optimal for athletes from recreational exercisers to Olympic hopefuls, citing supporting studies. Refreshingly free of high-protein hype, Clark emphasises a varied, wholesome, moderate diet high in complex carbohydrates ("without question, wholesome carbohydrates are the best choices for fuelling your muscles and promoting good health"), especially whole grains and starches; adequate but not excessive protein; and 20 to 35 per cent fat. Learn the components and variables of your ideal diet, with tables of nutritional information and marvellous titbits, such as calorie/fat counts of various fast foods. Did you realise that an Au Bon Pain pecan roll has 800 calories and 45 grams of fat--double the calories/fat in a serving of KFCs Crispy Strips? Did you know that a Dunkin Donuts 16-ounce Coffee Coolatta with cream has 410 calories and 22 grams of fat--about equivalent to a McDonalds Quarter-Pounder? Clark, a well-known sports nutrition expert, also covers weight loss, weight gain, eating disorders, and includes 72 recipes. This book is highly recommended for athletes, exercisers and average folk who want to understand how to design a personalised diet. --Joan Price, Amazon.com |
