Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A really good summary of nutrition practices Comment: The book is written in a very good and clear way. The structure is also very good. The information is not so complete, but is valid and enough for most athletes, and it's a very good start for one that has not read other (good) books concerning nutrition. Those who seek deep information on nutrition will not be covered bu this book (but it's a book worth having) Customer Rating: Summary: essential reading Comment: this book provides the basics of nutrition, and provides lot of practical advice and guidelines. It is easy to read and put to practice. It ended my doubts about how to eat and drink for various forms of training, during tapers, and at race day. And so far with good results. More than worth the money.
