You need this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Becoming Vegan: The Complete Guide to Adopting A Healthy Plant-Based Diet (Paperback)
This book's balanced and rational approach to creating a sound Vegan lifestyle proved invaluable to me as I became a Vegan. Unlike some Vegan books, this book was not written by fanatics and doesn't preach. The authors are medical professionals and this volume presents a sound view of the pluses and minuses of Vegan/Vegitarian ways of eating. It helped me create a diet that not only meets all my nutritional needs, but one that is easy and fun. If you are a new Vegan, considering becoming one, or are looking for ways in increase the non-animal-source areas of your diet then you need this book.

fantastic for the vegan athlete,
By Roman A Milner (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Becoming Vegan: The Complete Guide to Adopting A Healthy Plant-Based Diet (Paperback)
This book is great for anyone considering veganism but especially if you are (or want to become) a vegan athlete. (I do triathlons)There is a chapter that goes over special considerations for vegan athletes and also gives a great overview of sports nutrition in general. I was a little nervous giving up all animal products thinking there would be some nutritional nook or cranny I would miss that would make me colapse during a long run. This book told me everything I needed to put me at ease and even improve my performance.

You NEED this book.,
By Leslie (Everett, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Becoming Vegan: The Complete Guide to Adopting A Healthy Plant-Based Diet (Paperback)
Whether you are beginning a vegan lifestyle, all ready live one, or even if you are just vegetarian, I highly recommend this book. It gives loads of information on every vitamin and mineral necessary, and focuses on those that can be a concern in a vegan diet. It gives a little bit of history, includes a food pyramid, and just had tons more stuff you NEED to know. I use this as a reference over and over and find it very helpful. It is the best book I have on health. This book is a must have to complete any vegan/vegetarian's library.
