If you're a competitive athlete or coach at any level, then you're well aware of the hype surrounding sport-performance food and supplements on the market. With so many options available, how do you evaluate performance-enhancing products, choose them wisely, and build them into a program that supports your conditioning and competitive goals?
Diets Designed for Athletes helps you cut through the hype with straightforward guidance on choosing supplement products so that you can avoid wasting money and—worse yet—jeopardizing your health and conditioning. This book is comprehensive, covering the pros and cons of sport-performance products available in stores and in their natural forms. It tells you what to eat, when to eat it, and why. It gives you the information you need about supplements that will work best for you and your sport.
No other book covers all the performance-enhancing foods and supplements currently available. Diets Designed for Athletes addresses products for training and competing, explaining why and how to incorporate them into your diet. It specifies the advantages and disadvantages of products in different forms, and it describes what to use in hot and cold environments. You'll learn what supplements to use to meet your specific needs:
- Training - Competing - Gaining energy - Aiding recovery - Losing weight - Building strength - Adding endurance - Facing extreme environments
You'll also learn how to tailor your diet to maximize your metabolism and get the most out of your physiological makeup. You'll learn how to combine nutrients so that they enhance rather than block one another's effects. 
Customize your own diet by incorporating the nutrition information in this book. You'll find product formula comparisons and explanations of misleading or confusing terms that you may find on product labels and in ads. You'll learn what terms are legitimate and what kinds of performance promises are reasonable. Most important, you'll learn how to differentiate between desirable and undesirable products in light of your personal needs and goals.
Diets Designed for Athletes is more than a book about supplements. It's an objective guide to what actually works, based on real-life experiences of top athletes as well as scientific evidence. Author Maryann Karinch is widely published and an extreme athlete herself. With her personal insights and an array of stories and tips from other nutritionists, athletes, and coaches, this book is as entertaining as it is practical. 
Don't rely on word-of-mouth advice. Use the accessible, research-based advice in Diets Designed for Athletes to make wiser food investments and to understand when and why dietary supplements make sense. When you integrate the products that make sense for you into a diet that supports your athletic goals, you'll feel the difference fast and see the results in your performance.

In almost any field, the ability to connect with others immediately through knowledge of a particular subject area is vital to gaining trust, solidifying relationships, and getting ideas across. Convincing others that you "know what you're talking about" can help win clients, gain allies, make sales, and much more...but tricks and shortcuts like peppering conversation with jargon or random facts can seem transparent at best, and often work against your intent. This field-tested book gives readers a comprehensive process for quickly taking in small amounts of information in a given area and knowing how to use it to convey familiarity. The book enables impression-conscious readers to:
conduct fast, targeted research * inject information at exactly the right moments * read human behavior to determine when others are "buying" one's expertise * ask the right types of questions to suggest a knowledge of one's subject * terminate the interaction at the right time This book allows readers to generate amazing rapport with anyone by honing in on the one subject that interests them most: their own area of expertise.

Yesterday's science-fiction medical treatments become today's reality.

From the moment of birth to the second we die, we need relationships. We get sick, mentally and physically, without the emotional and physical security that flows from positive connections to other human beings. In Forging Healthy Connections, marriage and family therapist and talk show host Trevor Crow and writer Maryann Karinch explore strategies for setting up and maintaining secure personal connections in our professional and personal lives. They show how to build a healthy network of connections so we can create an emotional safe haven that directly and positively impacts our health. They examine why so many of us fail or lose relationships as we age, discuss the types of relationships we might be lacking, explore trust issues, explain the reciprocal effect and, most importantly, describe how to establish and practice empathy with friends, family and business associates. Forging Healthy Connections is a powerful resource for combating the loss of personal bonds in today's impersonal digital age. It provides readers with the tools needed to achieve and maintain healthy personal connections that will ultimately lead to a lifetime of satisfaction, fulfillment and meaningful relationships.
