Gain an edge in sports and life by going gluten-free Since the advent of sport, athletes have worked to gain an edge on their competition—to look, feel, and perform their best—through both training and nutrition. Today, science is increasingly showing the negative impact that gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can have on health. For the estimated 30 million Americans with forms of gluten intolerance, such as celiac disease, this all-too-common protein can cause gastrointestinal trouble, inflammation, muscle fatigue, and mental fog that hinder an active lifestyle and negatively impact athletic performance. The solution: a whole-foods, nutrient-dense gluten-free diet. Others who voluntarily eat gluten-free can also discover an edge they never knew was missing: faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and increased athletic performance. The Gluten-Free Edge is the first comprehensive resource that includes: • What gluten is and how it negatively impacts health and athletic performance • The myriad benefits of adopting a gluten-free nutrition plan • What to eat during training, competition, and recovery • How to deal with group meals, eating on the road, and getting “glutened” • Insights from prominent athletes already living the gluten-free edge • And 50 simple, high-octane recipes to fuel your performance Whether you’ve been diagnosed with gluten intolerance or simply want to get ahead of the competition, this book is for you. Your own gluten-free edge is waiting.

An estimated 30 million Americans have trouble digesting gluten - and the most recent research suggests that gluten may have some harmful impact on us all. The common protein's effects can include muscle fatigue, stiff joints, mental fog, stomach pain, bloating, and other digestive trouble - all of which make it hard to lead an active lifestyle, much less pursue serious amateur or professional sports. For years, athletes of all levels - from daily dog-walkers to world-class tennis players - have struggled through their symptoms without help or recognition for their gluten intolerance. Now, with "The Gluten-Free Edge", they'll learn what gluten is, how to go gluten-free, and how doing so will take their game to the next level-whether or not they've been diagnosed. Grounding their program in cutting-edge nutrition and fitness science, Peter Bronski and Melissa McLean Jory - a gluten-free cookbook author and nutrition therapist, respectively, and both serious athletes with celiac disease - will address every aspect of diet and training for gluten-free fitness. All of the essentials are here - the best.
