Quotes to ponder:

"Sports nutrition recommendations are based on the assumption we all want to get the most benefits from our workouts so we can perform to the best of our abilities."

"Carbohydrate deficiency is common. All exercisers can improve their performance (and health) by consuming adequate 'high quality' carbs (grains, fruits, veggies) to fuel muscles and prevent needless fatigue."

"Natural foods offer a complex matrix of nutrients that interact synergistically."
