The Thrive Diet is a long-term eating plan that will help you develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy, whether you’re a professional athlete or simply looking to boost your physical and mental health. One of the few professional athletes on an entirely plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance athlete.
Brazier clearly describes why it’s easier for the body to utilize nutrient-rich foods in their natural state than refined, processed foods and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods to maximize energy and health. And because plant-based foods are more environmentally friendly to produce, you’ll also help the planet while improving your personal health.
Thrive: the Vegan Nutrition Guide features:
• a 12-week whole foods meal plan
• over100 easy-to-make recipes with raw food options that are free of dairy, gluten, soy, wheat, corn, re¬fined sugar
• including exercise-specific recipes for pre-workout snacks, energy gels, sport drinks, and recovery foods
• an easy-to-follow exercise plan that compliments the Thrive Diet program.

“Brendan is simply the best nutritionalist I’ve found; his knowledge is second to none. I read Thrive: the Vegan Nutrition Guide and was enthralled that, after reading so many books and meeting with so many experts, Brendan was able to explain his thoughts on nutrition in such a clear and insightful way. My Thrive: the Vegan Nutrition Guide copy rests alone in the kitchen, tattered pages stained with beet juice and hemp oil. I only hope my competition doesn’t read this book until after I’m done competing.”—Simon Whitfield, Olympic gold medalist, Sydney 2000
