“GymnaChef” by Betsy McNally Laouar and Chef Mess Laouar is way more than a cookbook for gymnasts. …
… over 50 recipes for: Great-Start breakfasts, including Dark Chocolate Protein Pancakes Energizing Mid-Morning Snacks like M’ Energy Bar Nutrient-Rich Lunches like the GymnaBurger and Green Soup Delicious Functional Dinners with, yes! Coconut Chicken Cordon Bleu Vitamin-Dense and Decadent Desserts, like Berry Mouse
Betsy was a gymnast, coach and runs many workshops. She specializes in promoting balance, positive and healthy body image, non-restrictive and performance nutrition, and strength training for gymnasts.
She has another book called Binges & Balance Beams, a memoir of her childhood as a competitive gymnast and, later, a professional bodybuilder and trainer.
It shows how obsessive dieting, training, and body issues led to binge eating, relationship woes, and a life out of balance and out of control.
I love seeing Grace and Jade in the Gym. Best interviews I’ve seen, so far.
Vault is the featured apparatus. They did not hold back on the terrible truth that competition landings on this event are very, very dangerous. Ellie Black and others were interviewed on injuries.
