Eat Smart, Play Hard is great!!! It's perfect for the weekend warrior or the serious athlete. Dr. Applegate even writes about what to eat for yoga and golf in addition to marathons, bicycling, and weight lifting. There's super recent info on supplements and detailed meal plans for whenever you workout. It's straight-forward, easy to understand, fun, and has tons of great tips. A definite must-read for whatever exercise you do!

I thought I already knew every thing there was to know about eating right and exercising--until I read Eat Smart, Play Hard. I was amazed by how much new information and recearch has come out recently, just in the past few years. Applegate does a great job of highlighting the latest, most important eating strategies in an easy-to-read and understand format. I particularly liked her information on supplements. Her tips helped me to improve my running times, as well as my endurance in other sports such as cycling and hiking. This is a must-read.
An extremely useful book January 30, 2002

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in improving their performance through diet. In one week of following the meal plans I was running faster, harder and had none of the aches or pains that had been plaguing me for months previous. I found her advice to be realistic and down-to-earth (especially regarding chocolate)and the meal plans filled with variety I had been missing out on. She covers crucial things for all athletes, such as proper hydration and recovery foods, as well as how many calories you should be taking in daily. In short, she covers all the bases in this one and it's well worth the money spent. And if you think you already know it all, then you especially need to buy this book.
I fell in love with running again!! December 9, 2001

Ms Applegate knows her stuff so listen up!
I've been a runner for many years - often times it was a struggle. This book has given me a guide to address my nutritional needs. It's given me a new love and energy to run. Bravo!!!

This book, while probably good, is for the person getting 3-4 hours of heavy exercise per day. I found some good hints, but this is not applicable for the average person.
