Summary: Not too impressed...
Comment: I wasn't too impressed with the information in this book. As a runner, I bought this book hoping it would help me eat better for my running. What I actually found out is that I already know all of the information contained within this book and I already eat as healthy as I can for my running. Well, that was a waste of money!
If you have no clue about nutrition, you'll find this information of practical use to you. If you are already fairly nutrition savvy (for example, you know that: to lose weight you need to eat less and exercise more, to run better you need to eat plenty of carbohydrates, etc.), then this book will just rehash information you've already learned from a number of different sources. There won't be a lot of new information that you don't already know.

Summary: Great info on supplements!
Comment: I thought I already knew every thing there was to know about eating right and exercising--until I read Eat Smart, Play Hard. I was amazed by how much new information and recearch has come out recently, just in the past few years. Applegate does a great job of highlighting the latest, most important eating strategies in an easy-to-read and understand format. I particularly liked her information on supplements. Her tips helped me to improve my running times, as well as my endurance in other sports such as cycling and hiking. This is a must-read.

Summary: don't waste your money on this one
Comment: I agree with others who have said this book is just too simplistic. I am not an expert but consider myself to be very knowledgeable in the area of nutrition and sports nutrition. This book did not offer anything I did not already know and in my opinion it has close to nothing to offer athletes. Liz Applegate writes a column for Runners World magazine in which she shares alot of useful information, unfortunatly she seems to have left it all out of this book. I usually do not write such poor reviews however I read runners world monthly and do not feel that the book deserves the "hype" it has recieved.
