What was the answer to lose weight and work hard exercising? Is it to eat two thousand calories, one hundred and twenty grams of protein a day, or starve? I was unwilling to give up my exercise. I spent hours of research and found little healthy advice until, by chance, I found the book The Runner’s Diet.

Madelyn takes you through quizzes to find out where you are as far as your level of activity and fitness. She clarifies what makes you are runner. I always wanted to know when you should actually label yourself a runner. Through a simple equation you can figure out how many calories your body needs to eat each day to lose weight- even with a high level of intense exercise. Most importantly to me, she gives ideas of pre and post exercise snacks that are low calorie but healthy and that will give you energy.

Amino Acids are essential to the body when recovering from a workout. I loved how she explained the five important amino acids and gave the suggestion for the Amino Vital blend. I immediately picked up some sample packets at the local Vitamin Shoppe to try the different flavors. I already love how I feel taking this.

Anyone who needs advice on losing weight and running or any other high intensity exercise should read this book. It’s a valuable find!
