Media Reviews
'Packed with top exercise and nutrition tips, eating plans and quick and easy recipes made from basic foods. This new edition has been fully updated... contains lots of engaging fact boxes and top tips from leading sportspeople and athletes, as well as high quality photography.' Fitpro (May 2007) 'If you are really serious about sport and exercise and want to make sure you are eating the right foods at the right time, Food for Fitness should be your bible... [A] brilliant book.' Women's Fitness (November 2007) 'The appropriately surnamed Anita Bean - whose CV includes an appearance on a BBC documentary Should I Be Worried About Sausages? - is back with the third edition of this very useful book, which basically acts as a sports nutrition guide and recipe book all rolled into one. Good show.' Sport (July 2007) 'For those of us who aren't entirely sure what 'basal metabolic rate' is, what GI stands for, nor why we should be eating fat when you're actually trying to lose weight, this book is just the job.' Men's Health magazine (2007)
