‘Accessing good dietetic information is not always easy. I welcome this book as an innovation for anybody involved in sport’
Dr Lady Redgrave
Chief Medical Officer GBR Rowing Team
Food for Sport is a must for anyone who wants to learn what, when and how much to eat and drink to improve their performance or the performance of someone else.
Written in an accessible style, Food for Sport is a practical book designed to show readers how to build
up the right diet for their particular sport or active lifestyle. With over twenty years’ experience of working with sportsmen and women, the author explains enough background science to convince the reader why they should make changes to their diet, and covers many of the issues that particularly concern those who participate in sport or regular exercise, including:
Are high protein diets appropriate for weight loss?
Should sugar be avoided pre-exercise?
Are supplements necessary?
Are sports drinks a waste of money?
Is it all right to skip breakfast and train first thing in the morning?
Should late-night eating be avoided?
