The martial arts community is in a state of confusion when it comes to instilling proper nutritional values and practices in students, whether they compete at an amateur or professional level, or simply train for recreational purposes. Sudden weight-loss in the days before a competition, binge-eating to move up into a higher weight class, and a variety of extreme methods for losing weight rapidly are often taught and promoted. These are dangerous practices which can result in death or in serious injury to the body.

If you want to dominate your opponents, and to do it with a safe, effective approach to feeding yourself, The Grapplers Guide to Sports Nutrition is for you. Whether you’re a wrestler, grappler, boxer, or practice any other martial art, the prerequisites to sound nutritional habits are the same and must be learned. They then need to be applied consistently if you truly want to take your performance to the next level and beyond.

The Grapplers Guide to Sports Nutrition teaches how to eat certain types of food at the right times. If it’s the off-season, and you want to gain or lose some weight before a competition, or if you’re trying to shed some pounds leading up to a match, this book will properly educate you. You’ll also learn some up-to-date techniques on how to enhance recovery through nutrition and supplementation. This book also recommends some products that can be used at various times to enhance performance while healthy nutrition is being applied. Most importantly, readers will learn how to use these nutritional strategies on a daily basis and have them translate into real results.

Below are the chapter titles:

Chapter 1: The Intersection—What All Good Sports Nutrition Plans Should Accomplish

Chapter 2: Nutrition Basics

Chapter 3: The Super Foods

Chapter 4: Workout and Competition Nutrition

One of the neat things about this book is a summary at the end of each chapter that touches upon the main points covered.

This style is unique in that a reader who picks up this book will not only take in the information once, but will be able to rehash it over again so that the important parts sink in.

Overall this book is one of the better ones out on the market. Its approach is clear and concise, and can be applied to other sports as well. The concepts in the book are not hard to follow unless consistency and dedication are areas you lack in which case it’s doubtful your time, as an athlete, will be a pleasant experience.

If eating to enhance performance, to change your body and to maintain a leaner or more muscular physique in your event is something you desire, then The Grapplers Guide to Sports Nutrition is a book I can guarantee will deliver results.
