The Paleo diet for athletes : a nutritional formula for peak athletic performance

Loren Cordain (Author), Joe Friel (Author)
Aims at maximizing performance in a range of endurance sports. The authors show why the typical athletic diet is detrimental to recovery, performance, and health; how the glycemic load and acid-base balance impedes performance; and why consumption of starches and simple sugars are only beneficial in the immediate post-exercise period.
