Women’s nutrition and fitness has come a long way in our lifetime. To be exact, we have evolved from VOGUE’s infamous wine and egg diet of the 1970s to 130 grams of protein daily and supplementing with creatine. What we put in our bodies and what we do with our bodies has a tremendous impact on our overall well being. Women’s fitness and nutrition is transformed, and we are the first generations to benefit from it.

Although I am not now vegan, I was for nearly 4 years, and this book taught me how to fuel!
This book changed the way I warm up and the way I tune in to my body when I run, and now I am 100% a better runner.
Although I am the farthest thing from an ultra runner, this book taught me so much about getting uncomfortable.
Before this book, I begrudgingly lifted weights 2-3 times a month. Now, I lift 5 times a week, and make real gains!

Incredibly good. I would close this book, and immediately put on my shoes for a run. THAT inspiring. (1st 50 pages were boring, IMO.)
This is the “Thinner, Leaner, Stronger” book with a male audience in mind.
