4.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Finally food to train on., July 13, 2005
Everything you read is don't eat carbs, starch is bad, diets don't work. I am an athlete - probably more of a recreational athlete - but I do workout 4-5 days per week. Food for Fitness taught me about Carmichael's periodization philosophy and how it works, but now I have recipes to go along with that. I haven't made many yet, but the Broiled Salmon on Buckwheat Noodles was awesome. Most look like they will be easy to make, and they give all the pertinent carb/calorie information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diet Revolution, July 6, 2005
Although I've only had this book in my possession for a number of hours, I am already quite impressed. This will be a good way to eat right and introduce alot of variety into my diet. I've made the Ricotta and Spinach Lasagna and it was absolutely fantastic. If the rest of the recipes compare to the Lasagna I think this book has earned a special place in my kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrumdiddliumptious, July 6, 2005
I was one of the first to get a hold of this book so that I could make even better use of "Food for Fitness". The recipes that this book has to offer, taste great, are simple to make, and if they're as healthy and beneficial to my training as they taste, then I'm going to be winning some races this season!

3.0 out of 5 stars I really didn't like it
This book has recipes that are long and use products that I don't have access to in my rural town. I like short simple recipes that offer a bang for the buck with products I can... Read more

I was skeptical getting a cookbook like this. I thought it might just be a silly book trading off the Carmichael/Lance duopolistic cycling brand. Read more

Wasn't a fan of this book. I found that the caloric intake and the levels of fat were much too high for someone who is a casual athlete. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
I have to say this is a good book. The book's chapters are seperated into the Foundation period, Preperation period, specialization period, and transition period. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Good if you have a private chef.
Lots of fish recipes, no red meat. Plenty of gourmet entrees that seem better suited to someone who wants to spend their time shopping and cooking instead of training. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Impractical

I was disappointed in the cookbook. We are not gourmet cooks. I assume many of the recipes are from the restaurant the chef runs. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, What to Eat
If you want to know what to eat during certain times of the season, this is a great book. Not only are the foods healthy, they taste great and the entire family can enjoy them.
