Title: A bunch of old, tired, and general advice
Product review: Truly disappointed in this book. Nothing in here about any of the more recent (say last 3 years) nutritional developments -- e.g., "paleo" diet for endurance athletes, etc. All this book contains is the same old, and rather boring, nutritional retoric that you can find in just about any issue of Triathlete magazine you pick up. Additionally, the author really only glosses over issues like the glycemic index and its impace on nutritional strategy for pre-race fueling, race fueling and post-race recovery. She recommends foods which are high in processed sugars and highly-processed grains for normal eating, but doesn't even attempt to explain or express contrary views about the value of these foods to an athlete.Bottom line: If you have been following sports nutrition at all, you will find nothing new or interesting here.
