The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide: Peak Performance for Everyone from Beginners to Gold Medalists
Beefing up for competition with vegetables only . . . Few segments of the population are more mindful of their food intake than athletes--whether it is a matter of carbo-loading before a marathon or fine-tuning nutrition to get the most out of a workout. This book combines the unique demands of sports with the vegetarian diet. Registered dietitian and elite vegetarian athlete Lisa Dorfman provides step-by-step information on how to exercise, train, and compete at your best by eating a plant-based diet. She reveals how to customize a nutrition program to a specific sport and how to calculate a personal dietary plan for training and competition. In addition, The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide reveals the training secrets and recipes from seventeen Olympic and world-class athletes competing in a variety of sports. * Includes vegetarian recipes, menus, food guides, and cooking tips. |
