Summary: "...A Wealth of Nutrition Information"
Review: "For athletes who want to enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle, Lisa Dorfman's Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide provides a wealth of information. What I like best are the numerous tried and true recipes submitted by vegetarian athletes. These recipes contribute to the practical "how to" food ideas that can help make vegetarian meals come to fruition."

Summary: A Must Read for All Vegetarians
Review: As a co-author of many books on nutrition, I highly recommend this book for all ages and all sports. Keeping it simple and not getting caught in all the hype of "various supplements" is extremely important.

Summary: Informative but a difficult to decipher
Review: I found this book difficult to digest. The language used throughout appears to be some form of official medical speak; so much so that - as an example - in one section, I could not determine whether the author advocated drinking cranberry juice or not (until the last sentence of that sections which seemed to suggest that it is a benefit). That being said, I found the information useful although not very clearly presented. I look forward to a revised edition in which the editor(s) revises the language so that it is comprehensible to those without a medical or nutrition background.

Summary: A Must Read for All Vegetarians
Review: I have been vegetarian for 12 years and this book is the greatest. Not only does it give detailed information about protein and your body's needs, but it has great recipies. The recipies alone are a good reason to buy it. They are simple and easy to cook. It is very practical. It sure beats doing it they way I did it when I started beng vegetarian. I just started eating peanut butter sandwiches for weeks until I figured out how to eat healthy. Even if you have been vegetarian for a long time, you will probably learn something from this book.

Summary: deceitful title
Review: I read in one review posted above "and you are (or aspire to be) a vegan, then this book is definitely for you." is this a JOKE? THIS reader obviously did not open this book at all! the term "vegetarian" in used so freely that people that eat a burger a week are considered "semi-vegetarians". What is that supposed to mean? And what about "pesco-vegetarians"? This guide is a joke. If you take veganism or vegetarianism seriously, don't waste your money on this title. However, I give it 2 stars because it has some information on vitamins and other supplements. Yet, I can get the same advice from any other "omni/carnivore" regular nutrition book.

Summary: Just what I was looking for !!!
Review: If you consider yourself to be an endurance athlete (of any type) and you are (or aspire to be) a vegan, then this book is definitely for you. I have seen many other books that say the word "Vegetarian" on the cover, when they really mean ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian (eggs, milk, and fish). This book lives up to it's title by featuring lots of recipes, example diets (from professional vegan athletes), and nutrition information for vegans (persons who eat absolutely NO animal products)!
