4.0 out of 5 stars Easy cooking for busy people!, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

Nancy Clark has become one of my favorite nutrition authors. This book is easy to read with basic nutrition advice in the first section. The second section consists of nutrition enhancing, simple to follow recipes that do not require much time or fancy ingredients. I tried many different banana bread recipes from different cookbooks and found the one in this book not only the easiest, but also the best tasting. When I can't decide what to eat I pull out this book and always find some inspiration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, December 26, 2005

Ten years on and I still think this is the best when it comes to running nutrition and diets. The energy bars beat any Powerbar in my book, and the energy drinks and simple and useful. I use it from time to time to re-evaluate my diet based on how much I'm running. Love to see it updated!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, simple recipes, nutrition-packed, April 26, 2009

Ok, I don't run marathons. But my mom was training and started to look pretty tired. I bought her this book, and not only she she spring back to life after following these recipes and successfully completer her first marathon, but she found the recipes useful and sticks to them now that she's no longer training (it has been 2 years). Next time I visit, I'm jotting them down for myself.
