As a serious badminton athlete with multiple state and district level titles over the past 10 years, I had to shift to job due to personal circumstances. However, i realized my true passion lies in badminton, so I decided to make a comeback. While restarting my training, I struggled a lot with my diet and nutrition. This course provided me with a mind-opening perspective. I wouldnt say its enough to design a personalized diet plan for everyone, but it gives a solid foundation in understanding nutrition, how the body reacts to different foods, and what it truly needs and how to select food for your body. If you're planning to consult a nutritionist, this course will help you verify wheather their advise is the best fit for you. Overall a great starting point for anyone looking to enhance their knowledge of sports nutrition.

I feel more confident to practice after taking this course. With the resources I believe I will have a guide while practicing as a Sports Nutritionist. The lectures were competence based with the case studies showing real life examples. It was an amazing experience...hope to keep abreast for all updated thanks and regards...

By Eugene Joubert on 4/7/2021

Akash is a great online lecturer, this course was very easy to understand and follow. I feel that I have retained more information and knowledge from this course than any of the other courses I have done on Udemy so far! Thank you very much Akash and the Fab body team!!

By Remo Van Rest on 10/19/2020

Finished it. It good be 5 stars if the mentioned sports drink wouldn't just be Gatorade. There are many more brands, more specific to just sport nutrition, like Maurten, High 5, BYE etc. It would be great if there's a section/lecture about this and how to select a brand. What are the difference etc.

By Jessica Knox on 6/27/2020

Akash is a thorough and passionate teacher. I did not complete any nutrition courses prior to this one and he explained in a way that allowed me to score a distinction. I feel confident putting myself out to the world as a sports nutrition coach and and I love that he allows lifetime access to the course, materials and updates. His passion for health, fitness and nutrition shows in his teachings and I would absolutely take more of his courses over & over again. Thank you Akash!

By Juan Manuel Rodriguez on 6/22/2020

This is one of the most instructive and detailed courses I have taken from Udemy, I greatly appreciate the handling of the information and the clear and pressssive way with which the instructor exposed the content. It's going to be very helpful in my future life. I hope to have more information or other courses from you. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with me

By Manjula Yaragani on 6/20/2020

It would be more Interesting if the Test changes every time we retake! Because It's easy to pass or get 100% Once we get to know the answers! So I prefer to make it a bit complicated so that people will take the test serious as the explanation was excellent and the topics were clear!

By Anonymized User on 6/16/2020

From the point of view of a Physical Therapy student, Akash broke down Sports Nutrition, what most consider difficult information, into decently easy to understand terms and concepts. The charts really helped me visualize the pathways and what happens when/where as well as the case studies were great for seeing where the certain variables would apply. Highly recommend taking this course for a great understanding of Sports Nutrition.

By David Ireland on 6/13/2020

I found what is a deep and scientific subject being taught to an understandable level. The teaching is clear, and the resources are good. The case studies give an understanding of application of the principles being taught. I have since performed end to end case studies on myself and a group of friends performing different sports at differing levels of intensity. Personally, I think the exam at the end was pretty easy and you could get by with very basic grasp of the topics discussed. An end to end case study of a prospective client/clients would be more beneficial, with some targeted questions based on this would be a better indication of if you learnt your stuff, rather than the format of the exam on offer. Just my opinion :) Thank you! David

By Jason Prowse on 4/28/2020

Content focused and well presented in tables and good examples. Bite sized chunks make lectures easy to manage. Complex information simply put as he declares in the beginning. Great easy reference course materials available for later reference to download that will help support you once the course is complete.
