Food for Fitness

by Chris Carmichael



This is not a good diet book, but it is great for those who are into competitive sports.  This book is dense and one can learn a lot. It talks a good bit about “periodization.” It is a way of having rest days, strength days, or aerobic days… Each day is also supported by a different diet.
