Dr. Michael Colgan, is a genuine expert about all phases of nutrition. Although this book is an excellent guide to sports nutrition, it is also an excellent guide to nutrition for everyone. So please don't avoid it if you're not an althlete. Athletes, couch potatoes, and everyone in between will benefit from the complete and authoritative information about each essential vitamin and mineral contained in this highly-readable book. If you utilize the information it contains you will probably feel much better than you do now and may well also extend your life by a decade or so. And, if you are an athlete you will probably significantly improve your performance. Proper nutrition is that important and this book is that good.

Don't let the title fool you, this is for everyone! (13 of 13 Found this Helpful)   January 2, 2007
Not just "athletes." Essentially, this is an update to Colgan's popular "Sports Nutrition Guide" from 1993. Along with Dr. andrew Weil, Colgan is one of the only "doctors" who truly understands how degraded our food supply is relative to what is natural and healthy, and even more so than Weil, Colgan really tells it like it is and lays it on thick! i have been a long time follower of Colgan, and credit him for much of my success in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and professionally as a Personal Trainer. Colgan helped me on my way to becomming a trainer with much enhanced knowledge of nutrition that helped many a client achieve amazing results (especially compared to the knucklehead trainers who told their overweight clients to eat a bagle for breakfast, and/or to do more cardio to lose fat!). Colgan does not take any balogna from mainstream western medicine and the mess it has created, instead, he will expose the lies and show you the truth in a way that your intuition (and any research, if you have doubts), will assure you is correct!

Must read to be healthy. (13 of 15 Found this Helpful)   June 19, 2002
Great book that follows up Dr Colgan's Optimum Sports Nutrition.
Learn exactly what your body needs to be fit, healthy and disease free.
Most Americans have no idea what to do (and are VERY unhealthy)...start here today!

Colgan does it again! (9 of 11 Found this Helpful)   July 19, 2003
