Ever heard the term “shrink it and pink it?” The concept that most female nutrition products and training plans are made for men and then just made smaller and marketed with pink for women? Author Stacy Sims asserts this concept is why so many female athletes struggle to reach their full potential. She states, “Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one.”
Sims is an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who understands the female body. She understands that women’s bodies go through physiological changes at different stages of their lives. Roar takes those changes, such as pregnancy and menopause, into consideration as it provides a comprehensive nutrition and fitness plan for female athletes to train smarter.
Whatever your sport, whatever your current level of fitness, whatever your goals- this book is meant to help you adapt your nutrition and training “to your unique physiology so you can work with, rather than against, your female physiology.”
