Since I’m about to get my PhD with a specialization in exercise
and nutritional biochemistry, it’s probably safe to assume I’ve
read a lot of training and nutrition books. However, when people ask
me which training and nutrition books they should read, the
academic textbooks I recommend are typically out of their league. Simply
put, many of the books available for popular consumption aren’t
very good. Therefore, when a popular training or nutrition book comes
out and doesn’t suck, we’re quick to review it here.
Book:
Nutrient Timing
Authors:
John Ivy, PhD. and Robert Poortman, PhD. (with contributions from
Susan Kleiner, RD, PhD. and yours truly)
What’s it about?
Nutrient Timing presents a comprehensive way of thinking about sports
nutrition, one very similar to some of the principles I’ve been
championing for some time now. In this system, the dimension of time
is emphasized and athletes are taught both how the body responds to
exercise and how it should be fed. While this book is going to challenge
much of what the ADA or your nutritionists have taught you, the information
in here is backed by current scientific research, is readable, and is
proven to work.
Should I buy a copy?
Definitely. Pick up a copy as soon as it's available.
