I have all kinds of diets trying to figure out what would have been the best meal plan for me to follow for the rest of my life. I found the answers in this book. I also visited a nutritionist to see if I was on the right track. I told my Nutritionist that I purchased Nancy Clark’s Book and my nutritionist had told me: “This is an excellent book … you’re on the right track.” What an investment I made. This book has sections on all types of requirements in the diet of young, middle-aged, seniors, athletes and bodybuilders. This book is concise, easy to read and provides important information with many illustrations. What a great read!

I purchased Nancy Clark’s book with the sole purpose of losing weight. Not only has this book to me in the right direction by reducing me to my body fat percentage, it is the first time that I have lost weight and could not stay away. I love this book, as common sense teaches techniques for weight loss in a stress-free way as I do not starve myself to achieve healthy long-term results. I recommend this book for anyone trying fat, the muscles loose and develop better eating habits.

I purchased Nancy Clark’s “Sports Nutrition Guidebook 3rd Ed.” Due to the high ratings given by other users on Amazon. Needless to say, if one appears the title of this review, I am to purchase my regret.
Simply put, this book is for people to lose weight exercise focus. It is filled with sections on weight loss, dieting and body image. wish I had the impression that this was a manual for athletes, not a guide for someone to lose weight in the gym.
the reader will save a lot of effort by listing Nancy Clark’s main points:
1 Your diet should be 65% carbohydrates, 25% fat and 10% protein.
2 Eating before and after training to supply fuel and enhance recovery.
3 Start your day with a breakfast
on the extent of the information presented. Of course there is some useful information on vitamins / nutrition / GI values of certain foods, but this information can be found easily via an Internet search. The recipes are simple, not so good. I have tried enough of them, looking elsewhere for meal ideas.
Finally, dietary supplements are paid very little attention. No mention of glutamine, creatine, HMB, medium chain triglycerides, etc. This is unacceptable for a book on sports nutrition.
In my opinion this book should be called “Fitness Nutrition Guidebook.” It is a sports guidebook only in the narrow sense. If you are looking for a book to help you in the form then I get think it will fit the bill. If you are an athlete’s take your training to the next level then I would look elsewhere.

This book is excellent for endurance athletes. I run about 15-20 miles per week and it was for me, about the importance of carbo loading and glycogen stores get help. The book also has many useful tables and figures. Nancy Clark addresses all major topics of sports nutrition.
said that it sticks a little too closely with the FDA food pyramid, suggesting that only 15% of its daily calories from protein. This seems awfully low to me was (maybe I was crazy by the Adkins diet spoiled?).
also cites many “studies”, but most of them were done on just seven male athletes. It was for me to buy all the outcome hard. I value evidence, but as a small group of test subjects me question their assertions.
She talks about vitamins and minerals as a “spark” for a good diet, but suggests sticking crackers in your gym bag, which have absolutely no nutritional value. They also recommend not vitamin supplements. As a woman I can not see, not the harm in making sure I have enough calcium, iron and folic acid in my diet (most women).
Most recipes are great, like the banana bread. However, they shot themselves in the foot by supplying the proportion of carbohydrates, protein and fat in each dish. In the rest of the book, they will always 60-70% of calories from carbohydrates, but very few of her recipes have such a high percentage of carbs – even the pasta dishes. Another surprise: the recipe for pasta with spinach and pine nuts suggests, “3-4 tablespoons of” Oil! Sounds more like oil loading. I’m glad
, read the book, but I think I’ll be for another book with us other perspectives on Nancy’s suggestions equilibrium.
