Reviews
“This book is an excellent source of
information for high achieving female athletes and performers. . . . The relationship of performance to health and
to eating habits is too often overlooked, perhaps due to lack of information,
resulting in minor to grave health
problems and performance failures.
The contents of Dr. Nagel’s book can produce information that may eliminate some of these problems.” – Dr. Linda McClure
“This book offers considerable insight into the various possible causes of eating disorders and their physical and psychological effect on athletes and performers. . . . Dr. Nagel has made an important contribution in the field of eating disorders in female athletes and performers.” – Dr. Ursula K. Falk
