Book Reviews of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life
Book Review: Great vegan eating guide.
Summary: 4 Stars
Interesting book. I tried the recipes in here, seeing if any of them were good for me. I decided I'm not vegan, though I do enjoy trying out all the new foods this book suggests. I do have to say that its more concerned about optimal nutrition than taste. Some of the foods, while I'm sure were perfect in terms of nutritional balance, were just a bit off. I do give this vegan props, though, for not using any tofu in any of the recipes I "cooked." And the eating portion sizes and schedule should only be taken together if you're a practicing athlete. I gained a couple pounds eating these foods, though I sure felt a lot better. I'd recommend this book if you really wanted to go vegan.

Summary of Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life
The thrive diet is a long-term eating plan to help all athletes (professional or not) develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy. As one of the few professional athletes on a plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance competitor.
Brazier clearly describes the benefits of nutrient-rich foods in their natural state versus processed foods, and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods for maximum energy and health. Featuring a 12-week meal plan, over 100 allergen-free recipes with raw food options-including recipes for energy gels, sport drinks, and recovery foods-and a complementary exercise plan, The Thrive Diet is "an authoritative guide to outstanding performance" (Neal D. Barnard, M.D., Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine).
