Renaissance Diet 2.0

The Renaissance Diet 2.0 is a hands-on guide that presents a sports nutrition approach to eating for fat loss, muscle gain, and enhanced sport performance by incorporating comprehensive evidence, setting it apart from all the misinformation on nutrition. Beginning with a discussion on which parts of a diet determine results, the book delves into calorie intake, food quality, meal spacing and timing, and supplement use, rank-ordering them based on their relative contributions to diet so that readers can remain focused and avoid getting needlessly caught up in the minute details. The book further explores why and how calories matter; how much protein is enough; whether snacking is a good idea or if intermittent fasting is better. Readers receive guidelines on how to modify their diets as their bodies adapt. Also included are special diet considerations for a vegan diet, training multiple times a day, competition days, endurance sports, and for women at different life stages, as well as information on the most pervasive diet myths and why they are wrong.
