Frequently Asked Questions About Nutrition Essentials
Below is a series of common questions that have been asked
about my book, Nutrition Essentials. If you do not see your
question listed, please email me and I will be glad to address
your question personally.
1. Who was Nutrition Essentials written for?
Nutrition Essentials was written primarily to help people
prepare for certifications in sports nutrition, personal training,
weight management and other health-related areas. It is also
appropriate for athletes as well as laypersons who want to
know more about nutrition, exercise and how to stay healthy.
2. Can I use Nutrition Essentials to help me prepare
for a personal training certification? Yes. Nutrition
Essentials was written with personal trainers and other fitness
professionals in mind. The topics discussed in the book were
chosen because they directly relate to the types of questions
and day to day issues that those in the fitness industry will
likely encounter during their certification exam as well as
in their careers. While the title of the book is Nutrition
Essentials, it is really a sports nutrition book. As such,
Nutrition Essentials, reviews how nutrition impacts exercise
and reviews many topics that those in fitness need to be familiar
with.

Essentials to be delivered to you. When you purchase the book

price (shipping not included). Returned books must be in perfect

please send me an email so I know to expect it.
6. Does the book have an index? Yes, a very
user-friendly index is found at the back of the book so that
you can quickly jump to the information you need.
7. Does Nutrition Essentials have a bibliography?
Yes. The list of references can be found at the end of the
book. In addition, most of the facts are referenced in the
text of the book. This was done to help people further their
education if they wanted to investigate a topic further. Many
references also have their Internet location listed as well.
Thus, references with a URL can be read online.
8. Does Nutrition Essentials explain how to read food
labels? Yes. Everyone should know how to read a food
label. Nutrition Essentials takes you step by step, line by
line through a typical food label and tells you exactly what
each section means. Nutrition Essentials also takes you a
step further and highlights where food labels fall short and
how to avoid making mistakes when reading and interpreting
them.
9. Is Nutrition Essentials easy to read?
Absolutely! A lot of care was taken to make the book as easy
to read as possible. My personal motto for writing is that
“all things can be understood if they are presented
in the right way”. Nutrition Essentials was designed
to bridge the gap between facts and the practical use of information.
As such, all information is presented in an easy to understand
language.
10. How long will it take me to read the book?
I know people have busy schedules. That’s why Nutrition
Essentials was designed to be read in a short period of time.
Each chapter is information-packed and gets right to the heart
of the issue. Some people report that they could read the
entire book in just a few days.
11. Does Nutrition Essentials discuss how much protein
I need? Yes. The amount of protein needed by healthy
people as well as those who exercise has been a point of confusion
on the parts of many (including personal trainers) for years.
Nutrition Essentials discusses protein and how much is needed
by healthy non-active people as well as those who exercise
regularly.
12. Does Nutrition Essentials cover vitamins and minerals?
Yes. An understanding of vitamins and minerals is essential
to nutrition. Both vitamins and minerals as well as their
functions, benefits and side effects are reviewed.
13. Does the book discuss dietary supplements?
Yes. Nutrition Essentials does have a chapter that reviews
several supplements. People who are interested in this topic
should also get my book, Nutritional
Supplements: What Works and Why. A Review from A to Zinc and
Beyond. This book reviews over 100 popular supplements
alphabetically and gives you a wealth of information that
you are unlikely to find in any other single book.
