Chris Carmichael’s Food for Fitness provides the nutritional information any active man or woman needs to achieve his or her health and training goals. Along the way, Carmichael outlines his revolutionary eating programme for everyone - from weekend warriors to those just trying to lose a few pounds and be fitter. Most diets focus on treating a problem, pitting nutrient against nutrient in a battle over what can be eaten. Active men and women need to think of food as fuel that enables them to achieve their goals. In this context, all nutrients play integral roles and the emphasis is on consuming the right foods, in the right proportions and at the right times, to yield the energy we need to perform at an optimal level.
