The Fighter's Body: An Owner's Manual : Your Guide to Diet, Nutrition, Exercise and Excellence in the Martial Arts review:
5 stars (Loaded with information) - Loren Christensen and Wim Demeere have teamed up to bring you a book that is an excellent addition to the shelves of any martial artist, fit or fat.



Why you ask? If you are fit there are plenty of maintenance and improvement (everyone can improve) ideas that you will find not only more efficient but almost certainly more enjoyable that will help you bring out your "A-game" consistently. If you are fat, you will get ideas and encouragement on not simply how to lose weight, but how to do it through your training or with ideas that complement your training. If you are somewhere in the middle, well ain't you special, you get the best of all worlds.



Topics are numerous, probably too many for one person to apply concurrently, and some may not be appropriate for everyone. What is best though, in my opinion, is that all the topics can be a gateway to methods you may not have encountered. Even for familiar topics you will find new approaches, exercises, or drills geared toward the improvement of your martial arts. The authors have done extensive research and combined that with their own personal experience as well as their experience guiding students and clients. Why compartmentalize your fitness training from your martial training? Find out how to combine and/or complement both.



For example, discussions on HIIT and Dirt Day are sufficient to guide and be put into practice, but have also prompted me to seek further information.
4 stars (simple, but effective) - I enjoyed this book because uses a very straight and simple language, but provides very accurate information, about nutrition and how the human body interacts with various sources of food. About the advises written on the book about weight gaining and weight dropping it, are overall correct and safe. I recommend it to all fitness oriented people, not only to martial artists.
5 stars (Eat proper & Drink your Green Tea) - In brief... this is a fabulous book on nutrition and probably the best book you'll find with nutrition in the context of martial arts. All those little nutrition rumors are dispelled and in their place, this book gives you the facts on nutrition for martial arts (or just about any fitness training).

Before reading this book, I didn't know a carb from a hole in the ground.

The proof is in the result. All aspects of my martial arts training have improved by watching my diet and I feel even better than I did before!

This book is a MUST HAVE!!!
