What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health, and on
our performance in our chosen sport, whether we're elite-level athletes
or enthusiastic amateurs. But, with so much information out there, how
do we choose a way of eating that is right for us?
More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to making the most of
your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor looks at
fuelling needs for sporting participation, training and competition, and
analyses some popular diet options, including low-carbohydrate, vegan
and intermittent fasting.
But this is not just another sports nutrition book. Renee recommends a
holistic view: by understanding the human body and being self-aware, you
can find the ideal nutritional approach for you personally.
Significantly, Renee also discusses areas of sports nutrition in
populations that are often overlooked, including women's health and the
menopause, healthy ageing, and the inclusion of individuals who don't
necessarily conform to the stereotype of an athlete, such as people
living with chronic health conditions.
Whatever your race, genetics, gender, age, socio-economic status, body
type or ability, it's important to be your own athlete, fuel
appropriately for your body and enjoy what you do.
Whether you're a world-class or real-world athlete, if you're serious
about sport and nutrition, you can't afford not to read this book.
