Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life by Brendan Brazier
4.0
Great book and introduction to training on a vegan diet. I have been vegetarian for 8+ years and vegan for 2. I have never had a problem with getting enough nutrients nor with feeling sluggish. However, I wanted to learn more of what to eat regarding training. I am currently training for my first half marathon and would like to increase performance and muscle production without resorting to unhealthy, processed foods. This book was a great introduction. The science is there, but it would have been nice if he would have cited sources within the text. I know what he is saying it true based on my own extensive research on plant based diets, but others will not. Despite this, the book is very easy to read and understand witout a background in nutrition.
His recipes look and sound great altough I have yet to try them. However, many of the recipes are time consuming, expensive, and require special kitchen tools (all of which I have, but most people do not). I plan to implement his 12 week plan in a week, but I am sure I will modify and supplement as I see fit.
If you are looking for a plan to help with your fitness goals, this is a great place to start and much cheaper than buying a vegan nutrition plan online. Trust me, I looked at those too.
