Publishers Text

The Gluten Free Athlete is a practical, easy-to-read guide for any sportsperson wishing to explore a gluten free diet as a way of life. This isn't necessarily because of a gluten-intolerance, but because a gluten-free diet has been shown to have dramatic results for many athletic performances. Gluten is found in many processed foods, including bread, pasta, and most cereals, and in unlikely culprits like beer, vinegar, jams, and soy sauce. Gluten-free foods include potatoes, rice, beans, nuts, oats, popcorn, and quinoa. This book is intended for athletes everywhere and of every age, wanting to exclude gluten, but aware of the specialist requirement athletes in training have. This clear guide will include details of what gluten-free is, a full explanation of the gluten-free diet, and lots of delicious recipes and everyday menu suggestions for athletes, all within the context of athlete training. Thi sis backed up by extensive research, as well as tips and interviews, from the many pro athletes that are gluten-free, along with doctors and scientific researchers. The Gluten Free Athlete is the must have guide for any athlete wanting to explore a gluten-free diet.
