3 out of 5 stars not what was expected   January 1, 2008

This is not a very good book. It is so vague and definetly what was expected. I would not recommend this book.


5 out of 5 stars Right on the Money   August 30, 2003

I purchased this book as a sequel to another Liz Applegate book, Eat Smart, Play Hard. This is a must read for anyone interested in performing his/her best at a favorite physical activity or simply desiring a more healthy lifestyle. Since making a few changes to my diet I have lost weight and improved my performance during my endurance activities. What you eat and when you eat it truly matters. Like anything else, there is no magic here. You won't instantly smoke all your buddies on your next group bike ride if you make some changes to your diet. However, you can maximize your current abilities and set the stage for more physical gains. I have never felt better both during and post exercise. No fad diets will be found here. What you will find is a common sense approach to a lifestyle that is centered around healthy eating and exercise. Ms. Applegate is both encouraging of a healthy diet and realistic enough to know people need to have comfort foods every once in awhile. This book stands above the fad diet of the week chaos cluttering the bookstores.
