If you are already vegan, have food sensitivities, and love whole foods but just haven't been able to put it together so everything works, then this diet plan is for you.

If any of these descriptions fits, then skip this book and go directly to Brendan's Thrive Diet. It incorporates most of the material here and adds recipes. The Thrive Diet

5.0 out of 5 stars The advice works! BIG! July 24 2006
By Andrew Trensik - Published on Amazon.com
The advice in this book has helped me tremendously. I've been a healthy eater for a long time, but the nutritional advice in Thrive has made me actually FEEL health. Full of energy, it's great!

I have to comment on Dustin's comment on this page. No scientific information? He has 4 pages of references citing scientific studies supporting is personal findings. Maca, chlorella, all the studies are there, referenced in his book. Also, with the amount of time Brendan has spent training and racing, I'd personally much rater learn from a self-tough professional who actually lives the life than someone who simply goes through school. In my opinion, this book provides the best of hands-on accounts backed by science.

Great book!
