Nutrition And Athletic Performance

Nutrition and Athletic Performance by Dr. Doug Graham is a classic work covering why a raw food diet is the best choice for athletes.

I consider it a good starting point for anyone that wants to take their game or activity to the next level.

You might expect this book to be extremely dry, but its surprisingly concise and an overall good read. If you find athletics or nutrition interesting, you should enjoy it.

Nutritional Science

Understanding the interplay between fat, sugar, rest, hydration, and multiple other factors is key to achieving consistent high performance, and this book lays it all out.

Some of the important topics covered in the book include:

Why simple sugars, such as those found in fruit, are the best fuel for the body.
How complex carbohydrates such as grains and starches fail to be the best choice for athletes.
Protein Needs: They're not nearly as large as we've been lead to believe
The power of sleep.
How raw vegetables provide us with the minerals we need to function.
Why high-fat raw and SAD diets impair the uptake transport of sugar, impairing our performance and causing disease.
