The perfect book for anyone wanting to boost their performance on a plant-based diet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2021

This book is exactly what I needed. My son has been a keen distance runner for years and he has the lithe body that goes with that sport, but he would like a more defined look and has started going to the gym regularly and working with a personal trainer. As soon as he told the trainer he was a vegan, he told him he would need to add protein powder to everything he eats in order to get enough to build muscle. I hated the idea of adding protein powder to everything because even the blandest powder available still changes the flavour and/or texture/thickness of dishes and it is also expensive. Thankfully, I haven't needed to go down that route. TJ's book shows that it is easy to get more than enough protein from plants and the recipes are easy to adapt to use what ever fruit and vegetables are available. TJ explains the science behind everything and is measured and sensible in his approach. Using the book I have been able to show my son how he can boost his protein intake without resorting to powders and the results are beginning to show; he is definitely developing more definition. He has also discovered that by running less and working out more his running speed has improved. His weekly long-distance run is completed quicker than it used to be, so he is absolutely thrilled. Thank you TJ for this wonderful book. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in how to get the most out of a vegan diet.

Looking forward to seeing if this book can help me. At 70 I have been Vegetarian since about 5 years old didn’t want to eat animals. At 20 eggs were the last to go. Most Vegan books are just recipes. This is going to be very informative as what to eat & why. To get the best nutrition for your body.

Whether you’re a committed vegan or a flexitarian seriously considering moving towards a more plant based diet this book is for you.
Whether you are an elite athlete or merely thinking of getting off that comfortable sofa this book is for you.
In fact anyone who is interested in their own well being, has respect for animal welfare or even just enjoys good food will love this book.

At last... a comprehensive but accessible guide on how a plant-based diet can enhance performance and add to one’s general wellbeing. I’ve been thinking about going vegan for the last couple of years; this book is the definitive answer and just what I’ve been looking for.

I've been vegan for 6 years and have done a lot of reading and researching during that time to better understand, as a keen triathlete, how to best support my training. This book does an excellent job of breaking down all the topics into easily digestible (pun intended) chapters to make it easy to understand what to do and eat. It's a book that will appeal to both novice and experienced athletes and will ensure nothing is missing from your diet that might impact performance. It also explains how useful or not some studies are to give you more confidence when doing your own research.

It includes some excellent recipes too which have already become staples in my home as they are super tasty and nutritionally well-balanced for my athletic needs. The ginger and miso dressing is now my go to topping for buddha bowls and the granola is a breakfast favourite. There's lots more to recommend, follow the advice, feel great, perform to your best and help animals and the environment, what's not to like. In short, go buy the book, it's an excellent guide and reference book that you will return to time after time. Go Vegan today!

Perfect for any sceptic

Bought this book mid walk listening to TJ on the Emma Guns show. As an absolute sceptic, I was won over by his objective and science backed narrative and the book did not disappoint. It is measured, objective and so helpful. Anecdotally I had tried a predominately plant based diet for the last month having felt sluggish and desperate for some kind of change and I feel so much better so it’s great to see the science to back this up. I have also tried a few of the fabulous recipes and they are easy to follow and delicious! Would highly recommend.

SUCH great value! Evidence based, bias free, beautifully written & highly informative read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2021

This book is the perfect recipe for a science based nutrition read! Whilst it’s rooted in the latest scientific evidence and will meet you at the needs of all the training buffs, science geeks and nutrionists (which I am), it’s also a really accessible and beautifully written book which will provide helpful and practical solutions for anyone! For instance, the “customising a meal plan” chapter - the info here is hugely helpful, let alone the amazing “recipe” section which again provides immense value! As someone who trains a fair amount myself, I will be drawing upon the recovery and performance section in particular. I’d like to note that although I am not exclusively plant based, this is a resource that I will undoubtedly draw upon repeatedly - for implementing effective nutrition and lifestyle strategies! This is a must read for anyone who cares about their training performance, health or nutrition and couldn’t be better value for money! I’ve read a lot of nutrition books and this beats the majority - if you’re after real science and strategies that you can practically implement easily. Also this is great research on what can be done on a plant based diet when you understand the science and take the time to plan and use whole food and cook!

Absolutely everything you need to know about a healthy vegan diet

I have to be careful with my diet for health reasons, and it's great to have all the science in this book to explain just why a vegan diet is so healthy. You also learn how to make sure you get the protein you need, and so you don't have to compromise on energy. It's well written and well structured, so you can dip in and out. Thanks!

Incredible book! So good to learn about all things plant based!

Combining TJ's experience, the science, and the power of plant-based led me to reading the book in just a few hours. I couldn't fault any part of it and it has definitely impacted the way I think and feel about what I put into my body! I have been on a completely plant-based diet for a month, and I haven't missed meat, cow's milk, fish or eggs at all! I'm a 32 year old rugby player and I now consider this book an absolute must have for my training, nutrition and lifestyle. Thank you for cutting through the b.s., sharing the science and promoting the multiple health benefits of plant-based!!

P.S. The recipes at the end of the book are so moreish!!! I'm hooked on the mediterranean pesto tart - it makes a great lunch for the week.

I know TJ having connected with him on Instagram and his book embodies what he is all about; a wealth of knowledge on plant based nutrition for health and performance, and someone who is meticulous in his research methods. He delivers the info in this book in a really easy to understand and digestible manner and it’s a really great read, whether you are already vegan, are thinking about it or are even just wanting to get more plants on your plate. Highly recommend.
