"It's time for women athletes to move beyond outdated concepts and male-centric research that never spoke to their specific needs. In Fuel the Fire, Pam Nisevich Bede explains the very real differences that make women in sports unique with regard to training, nutrition, and performance, on the road, court, field, or track-and beyond. Now she shares the insights of world-class athletes to create a framework everyone can use to maximize performance in any sport."--From publisher.

Before sitting down to write 'Fuel the Fire,' Pamela Nisevich Bede, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, took the time to become a sports dietitian, run twenty-six reasonably fast marathons, and advise thousands of athletes on how to improve their plates. As a sought-out nutrition expert, Pam Nisevich Bede has been praised for her ability to translate complex nutrition science into straightforward advice. She simplified the complexities among food, fuel, and performance in the pages of habit-changing 'Sweat. Eat. Repeat.', performance-forward 'Run to Lose,' and as a contributor to various nutrition books, running-focused reads, and athlete go-to cookbooks.
