Can You Eat Like an Olympian?
Olympians are often thought of as the best of the best.

So what if you ate like one?

Obviously the 4000 calories that some of them eat per day would have to be burned off somehow... so it's not likely that the average person could keep up with that regimen.

But they might have some secrets when it comes to nutrition. For instance, what exactly do they eat that makes them able to put forth such energy?

Do they take special supplements? Do they eat only meat or only veggies? Do they carbo-load before competition?

What do they know that you don't?

In this segment, Dr. Felecia Stoler, PhD, and Melanie Cole, MS, discuss how to eat like an Olympian and reap some of the benefits of doing so.
