What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health, and our performance in our chosen sport. More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to making the most of your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor analyses fuelling needs and popular diet options for everyone from enthusiastic amateurs to elite athletes.
Could you or someone you love be dangerously obsessed with diet and exercise? • Do you can care more about the virtue of what you eat – how "clean" it is – than the pleasure you receive from eating it? • Do you sacrifice experiences you once enjoyed to eat the food you believe is right? • Do you understand the impact these restrictions are having on your body? • Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your "clean" diet? Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with eating only healthy food. It is closely related to anorexia, but focused on quality of food rather than quantity. But how do you know if you or a friend or loved one has crossed that line? And how much do you really know about the impact these diets, plans and detoxes are having on your body? Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Goes Bad compassionately and expertly helps you to recognise potential issues, break free from the condition and find a way back to a balanced, truly healthy way of eating and enjoying life.
The book every amateur runner, cyclist, swimmer, triathlete and sportsperson needs to fuel their training. A practical, enjoyable, real diet that helps you train and fits in with your everyday life.
