Nutrient Timing
Book Review

By Dr. John M Berardi, Ph.D.

Printer friendly version

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.
