Evolutionary nutrition. Carbohydrate periodization. Two fuel tanks and two energy sources. Metabolic flexibility. The complete athlete. Variability. The adaptive organism. A healthy athlete... These are just some of the key topics that will be explored step by step throughout this book.

You'll see that physical training alone isn't enough to boost performance-what you eat and when you eat it play a crucial role in unlocking your full physical and mental potential.

You'll realize that eating the right foods at the right time not only enhances the quality of your training and your adaptations to it, but also improves your overall health-which, in turn, contributes to better performance. A double win.

You'll understand why the foods that have been with humankind the longest are the ones that suit us best.

You'll discover that, just as training should vary, so should your nutrition.

You'll learn how to make the most of your two main energy sources-fat and carbohydrates-so you can benefit from both worlds and become as efficient and well-rounded as possible.

This book brings you science-lots of it-a bit of theory, and, above all, practical tools. It's about translating cutting-edge research into everyday strategies, so you can fuel yourself to push further, perform better, and become the best version of yourself.
