Reviews

"I highly recommend reading Racing Weight even if you don't need to lose any excess poundage. You'll come away with a better understanding of your physiology and also of food."

"Sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald lets us in on his no-diet secrets that can help endurance athletes get leaner, stronger, and faster."

"Even if you are already a lean machine, you'll likely still learn something from Racing Weight. From how to determine your optimum weight, to improving your diet and training around it, to controlling your appetite and making your own fuelit's all in this book."

"The mysteries of weight and its relationship to performance are unlocked in Matt Fitzgerald's Racing Weight. If you've got a basic handle on both training and nutrition, this book offers the means to improve both your diet and athletic performance."

"Fitzgerald is going to go down as one of the most competent and prolific authors of books for serious runners covering just about every legitimate aspect of the all-important runner's lifestyle."

"It's not too hard to convince cyclists that they can improve their performance if they drop their weight to an optimum level. However, that's generally as useful as a physician telling a client they need to lose weight and then sending them out the office door. There are endless diet or nutrition books out there, but very few specifically catering to the endurance athlete. Into this void comes Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald."

"Racing Weight answers the difficult questions athletes often have about dieting, including how to handle the off-season. The book gives readers a scientifically backed system to discover your optimum race weight, as well as five steps to achieve it."

"Reaching an ideal weight for endurance sports is important, but doing it the right way is even more important. Matt Fitzgerald provides scientific and sound advice for anyone trying to achieve their racing weight."

"Racing Weight is the first book written exclusively about an issue that is very important to runnerseating and training properly to get to the start line of the peak race with the right body composition for running fast."

"Racing Weight offers endurance athletes a simple approach to dietary quality. The Diet Quality Score system is worth the price of the book alone. It's easy to follow and makes sense. Amateur to professional athletes can optimize their potential with this book."
