High Performance Nutrition Good book and I got the information that I was looking for
Misleading, Dangerous!! This book not only consists of bad nutritional advice but dangerous suggestions. Ms. Kleiner calls herself a nutrition consultant, but believes that peppermint patties are a good way to end a meal and that blue sports drinks are good for you. This book not only can kill a hypoglycemic with its high-carbohydrate suggestions, but is proof of how ignorant the educated can be. Ms. Kleiner and Ms. Robinson are not herbalists, yet they discount every herb that Eastern civilizations have thrived on for thousands of years- while ignoring the fact that prescribed drugs kill 100,000 individuals a year in this country alone. The authors easily condemn Ginseng, a Chinese adaptogen used for thousands of years, and sanction the use of Ephedra which has been shown to be life threatening in many cases. The authors concern themselves with the illusion that blue sports drinks, candy, and refined carbos are the best fuel for a healthy body, but they are themselves a product of an ignorant, drug-generated-for-profit country. Too bad their illusion is in print for the uninformed and unaware. As the old saying goes, don't believe all that you read- especially this book. Maybe the authors should go back to school and learn something and then attempt to take people's lives and diets in their hands. Wasted trees to make this one.
One source There are enough books on nutrition to make your head spin. This book breaks it down nicely and gives you all the information you'll need. It helped me to put together a great nutritional program to help me lose the fat and gain lean muscle. I'd recommend it to anyone who'd like to change their lifestyle for the better.
