What reviewers are saying about "Nutrition for Serious
Athletes"
SYNERGETIC HEALTH: HEALTH AND FITNESS BOOKSTORE - "Excellent, full of valuable information for any athlete. This will definitely improve your performance."
JOHN REMBAO, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY AND ASSISTANT TRACK AND FIELD COACH, AND THREE TIME NCAA DIVISION I CHAMPIONS - "Awesome book! With all the nutrition companies trying to sell their latest formula, it's comforting to know exactly what works, and why. Follow Dr. Benardot's diet plans and you'll be peaking, not bonking."
KELLI B. HILL, OWNER OF HILL'S GYMNASTICS TRAINING CENTER AND COACH FOR DOMINIQUE DAWES (WINNER OF BRONZE AND GOLD OLYMPIC MEDALS) - "I coach gymnastics; I am not a nutritionist. It is great to be able to refer my athletes to a guide steering them toward the sound nutritional habits it takes to be a winner."
JEFF CROOK OF ENDUREPLUS.COM - "This book provides a great nutritional overview for the 'nutritionally challenged' athlete. A simple writing style and ample use of summary charts makes it easy to get the information that will yield results in your sport. ...The emphasis leans toward enhancing performance using the basics: carbs, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Time is taken to illustrate how to blend these elements into a nutritional plan for power, endurance and power/endurance sports. The scope of many of these discussions goes beyond simple food intake. The author explains the underlying energy systems and recovery strategies for each of these sport groupings. A solid resource for athletes looking for 'non-supplemental' nutritional information."
FMPULSE BOOK NOTES INDUSTRY INTELLIGENCE - "...An advanced guide to foods, fluids and supplements, and is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the balance between nutrition and performance. The book helps trainers and athletes tailor diets for individual sports, and time meals and create meal plans for daily and seasonal needs. It discusses hydration, energy balance, body composition, supplements, and muscular and aerobic power, and provides recommendations for 16 sports requiring speed, power, endurance or a combination of those. An appendix section offers sample meal plans based on caloric needs, and also lists the amount of carbohydrates, protein, fat and calories in many foods. The book also includes an extensive list of references and case studies from athletes."
NNENNA J. LYNCH, PROFESSIONAL RUNNER, 1997 WORLD UNIVERSITY GAMES 5,000 METER CHAMPION, THREE-TIME MEMBER U.S. WORLD CROSS COUNTRY TEAM.
"Dan's book is a must-read for any serious athlete. In the forest of nutrition books, Nutrition for Serious Athletes is a guiding light. Dan's message is simple and straightforward-eat well and often. Yet he helps you understand why without getting too technical. Nutrition for Serious Athletes demystifies nutrition fads and supplements, helping the reader become an informed consumer."
DAYLE HAYES OF 'THE BILLINGS GAZETTE', BILLINGS MONTANA (JULY 11, 2000) - "If you or your kids are more serious about sports, thismuch more technical book may be just right for you. Author Dan Benardot is the co-director of the Laboratory for Elite Athlete Performance at Georgia State University and team nutritionist for USA Gymnastics. In this recently published book, Benardot first reviews themost up-to-date research on the body's need for carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fluids. He then offers recommendations for 16 specific sports requiring speed, power and endurance - or a combination of all three. Benardot also provides an excellent chapter on the timing of meals and snacks."
RACHAEL ANNE HILL OF NEXT STEP MAGAZINE (ENGLAND)- "This book is well-written and logically divided into 'easily digestible' chapters. There are three parts to the book. The first part looks at the 'nutritional tool box' and covers subjects such as balancing nutrients, staying hydrated, assessing body composition and the use of supplements. The second part moves on to look at tailoring nutrition to specific training requirements and the third part looks at a performance nutrition plan."
