The Glucose Revolution Book

Since the 80s, scientists have studied peoples' blood sugar responses to hundreds of different foods. These foods have been ranked in what's known as the glycaemic index (or G.I. factor). A few years back, Australian researchers were the first to apply the G.I. factor to athletes' diets. The Australian Institute of Sport took note. Recently, Australia has experienced unprecedented sporting success, winning a wide range of events from swimming to netball. Coincidence? Or evidence? Could it be that the G.I. factor enables athletes to compete with an edge? The authors of The Pocket Guide to the Glucose Revolution and sports nutrition think so. An undisputed fact is that for the body to perform at its peak, it needs the right fuel. Carbohydrate foods have been proved to enhance stamina and fight off fatigue. The Pocket Guide to the Glucose Revolution and sports nutrition explains your individual carbohydrate needs and tells you what you should be eating when competing. --Christopher KellyRead More
