Boston-area colleges. Clark offers workshops nationally to health

Clark received her bachelor’s degree in nutrition from Simmons College

recipient of its Media Excellence Award, an active member of ADA’s

publications and Web sites. She has authored Nancy Clark’s Food

She lives in the Boston area.
“[Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook is] the go-to
manual for active people to fuel their exercise endeavors… With a focus
on sports nutrition, you’re not focused so much on losing, but on
gaining. You’re gaining speed, strength and stamina along with mental
acuity and improved wellbeing. Yes, it’s also a great recipe for fat
loss, but the dropping of excess poundage, again, is a side benefit
rather than a primary focus. And that’s what makes it sustainable.
Sports nutrition is about the journey rather than the destination. Diet
books come and go, but Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook
continues to be the book of choice for those who want to find out what
they’re physically capable of… [The book] made all the difference for
me. I had done reasonably well in my fitness journey, having lost 30
pounds of fat and gained a fair amount of muscle, but around 2003 was
when I really wanted to up my game. I wanted to get faster and stronger
and leaner. The director of health and fitness programs at the
University of Calgary recommended Nancy’s book to me, and that was the
start of changing how I viewed everything to do with food and fueling
athletic performance. A decade later I’m a muscular Boston Marathon
qualifier who can see his abs. Thanks, Nancy.”
