weight-loss book for endurance athletes. Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for
Peak Performance by certified sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald offers the
first comprehensive and science-based approach to weight management for
runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, rowers, and cross-country skiers. A 2009 study found that three out of four endurance athletes are concerned
about their weight and half are dissatisfied with how much they weigh. Yet
these same athletes ranked weight loss dead last when asked about their
motivations for participating in endurance sports. Endurance athletes pursue
weight loss as a means to better workouts and faster racing. Fitzgerald's
own efforts to reach his racing weight for distance running led him to
discover that there were no comprehensive weight-management resources
designed for endurance athletes. Using Racing Weight, endurance athletes can find and attain their fastest
body weight and composition. The Racing Weight program offers 5 strategies
based on the latest advances in the science of weight management. After
finding their ideal off-season and racing weights, athletes will learn how
to improve their diet quality; balance their intake of carbohydrate,
protein, and fat; time meals and snacks; manage appetite; and train for lean
body composition. Racing Weight is grounded in the science of healthy nutrition and exercise
physiology. Packed with findings from recent studies on weight loss and
endurance sports performance, Racing Weight explodes myths about fat and
weight gain, protein and muscle building, macronutrient ratios, calorie
counting, glycemic index, and weight gain during the holidays and
off-season. Athletes will learn the truth about sports drinks, supplements,
and recovery nutrition. The book includes daily food logs from 14 elite pro
athletes and 21 healthy recipes from nutritionist Pip Taylor. Racing Weight will help endurance athletes reach new levels of
performance-and become satisfied with their body weight. Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance by Matt Fitzgerald
