Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: John M Kaltenborn, MS, ATC, PES(James Madison University)
Description: This is a good basic reference for athletes or anyone looking to increase their general knowledge about proper eating habits to achieve their activity goals. This updates the 2003 edition.
Purpose: The book provides readers with a general knowledge base to help them achieve desired exercise or activity goals through the proper use of food. In light of the many fad diets that are not healthy, this book is needed. It provides enough basic information to help readers achieve exercise/activity goals while maintaining an overall healthy eating plan.
Audience: It is intended for any active persons, athletes, or individuals interested in improving their physique, performance level, or lifestyle through better eating habits. Nancy Clark does an excellent job of addressing this audience. Since she has been lecturing and writing books on this subject for almost two decades, she is a very credible source of information.
Features: Among a multitude of topics surrounding eating for an active person/athlete, the book covers how to eat throughout the day, pre- and post-workouts, as well as eating healthy throughout a lifespan. It has an extensive recipe section, providing readers with hundreds of recipes in any food category needed to provide proper nutrition for performance. The appendixes provide ample references for further research as well as key terms to help readers better grasp the concepts discussed in the book. The one shortcoming is that it does not delve into the nutritional needs for different sports. This is a possible feature that some readers would find helpful.
Assessment: This edition is of the same high quality that Nancy Clark is known for. As someone who attended a two-day nutritional workshop of hers based on the second edition of this book, I am pleased to see that this fourth edition has taken into account the new food choices/companies as well as the fad diets that have come along since then and since the 2003 edition. She remains informative as well as topical in this area.
School Library Journal
YA-- As a consultant to the Boston Celtics, Clark is well equipped to advise sports aficionados on their training diets. Although her focus is primarily on the serious athlete, her nutrition tips can be useful to anyone desiring a healthy lifestyle. Discussion of the carbohydrate issue, foods to eat before and after exercising, fluids, and supplements are presented. There is also a section on weight control tips as well as suggestions for gaining weight. Healthful recipes with nutritional and caloric information complete the volume. Most of this is information is basic and is available elsewhere, but Clark's abundant use of charts and diagrams and her enthusiatic presentation make the book a winner. --Anne Paget, Episcopal High School, Bellaire, TX

    Informative for any athlete

    Great book with a lot of information. While trainging for a marathon it helped me revamp my eating giving more energy for training. I also have a teenager that plays several sports and is sometimes working out 6-7 hours a day. Was able to make changes in her diet to help fuel her with healthier, more nutrious food. Well worth the purchase. I originally checked it out at the library and decided it was worth the purchase and refer to it regularly when planning snack and meals for training. Also, a good general nutrition book with out being to boring.

    Very informative.

    Great book for those who already have a base knowledge in nutrition. Some of the most informative nutritional information I've come across. Breaks down exactly how much of each type of food from different sources for different phases of individual nutrition. Great information.

    'the best nutrition book ever: simple to read, understand, and tons of very useful information!!!'

    This book has it all. Forget the information you see on TV, or other fitness store. I use this as a guideline when training for a competition or teaching personal fitness training.
