"After a running injury in April, I slowly rehabilitated myself back into running shape with no pain. The weight loss started to slow during the five months I was catching up and recovering. In desperation and because of lack of knowledge, I started taking advice from many well-meaning people about how much to eat, what to eat and none of it worked. At one point, I put on two pounds in a week with all these suggestions. The other problem I ran into was that all the dieting advice you read or watch on TV is for people who do not work their bodies very hard and burn hundreds, even a thousand or more calories in a workout or training session. What was the answer to lose weight and work hard exercising? Is it to eat two thousand calories, one hundred and twenty grams of protein a day, or starve? I was unwilling to give up my exercise. I spent hours of research and found little healthy advice until, by chance, I found the book The Runner's Diet.
Madelyn takes you through quizzes to find out where you are as far as your level of activity and fitness. She clarifies what makes you are runner. I always wanted to know when you should actually label yourself a runner. Through a simple equation you can figure out how many calories your body needs to eat each day to lose weight- even with a high level of intense exercise. Most importantly to me, she gives ideas of pre and post exercise snacks that are low calorie but healthy and that will give you energy.
Amino Acids are essential to the body when recovering from a workout. I loved how she explained the five important amino acids and gave the suggestion for the Amino Vital blend. I immediately picked up some sample packets at the local Vitamin Shoppe to try the different flavors. I already love how I feel taking this.
Anyone who needs advice on losing weight and running or any other high intensity exercise should read this book. It's a valuable find!"
"Pretty good for a beginner. If you have done any studying into nutrition at all you can probably skip this one. It's good in a way because it lists good and bad foods, but mostly it's just a case by case account of people."
"I really enjoyed this book-gave me a roadmap to eating healthy while running. I will keep this book as a reference-or probably just re-read it over and over."
