Whole Foods to Thrive,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whole Foods To Thrive: Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health (Paperback)
What can you say about Brendan Brazier except, awesome, awesome, awesome. Very smart, one to follow. He takes people out of their dreary routines and puts them on the path of health, happiness and sleeping again. What can we say except we love this guy. Thank you Brendan for the Vega line, for your books, for your creativity and inspiration. Not only does he help and encourage you towards becoming vegan but he does it with such ease. The recipes in this book, some of his, some from favourite restaurants are all good and inspiring. This book is a must even if you never decide to make the change. Thank you Brendan, keep up the good work!

It's time to level up - THRIVE to the next level!,
This review is from: Whole Foods To Thrive: Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health (Paperback)
What if you can look & feel good and put a dent in the universe while at it? Can you really have it all? Yes, yes and yes! No other book has linked nutrition, fitness, economics and the environment in one complete package till this!We are led to believe that we need to pay top dollar to be healthy and fit. And that we need to do complicated, inconvenient things to be green. The author debunks these MYTHS by offering a simple solution: incorporating plant-based whole foods to our diet. Yes, it's that basic, that's why it's a break-through. He explains WHY - through fun icons, credible data and entertaining examples (who would have thought we could save trillions of trips to the moon by eating more consciously?). He then shares HOW - through easy and yummy recipes that are not only super healthy, but also cost-effective and really "green" (pun intended!). So, if you would like to not only transform yourself, but also become a catalyst for change, go and get one! Don't delay. It's your time to level up and truly THRIVE!

Good Nutrition, Good Information, but Poor Editing,
By Brian G (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whole Foods To Thrive: Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Based Recipes for Peak Health (Paperback)
As an aspiring vegan, I would not hesitate to say that I am a fan of Brendan Braziers 'Thrive' series. Instead of replacing the SAD (Standard American Diet) with similarly processed, refined, and nutritionally depleted soy alternatives, Mr. Brazier introduces a variety of foods and their preparations for optimal health and performance.With the previous books in mind, 'Thrive' and 'Thrive Fitness,' I looked forward to the third, recipe-oriented, installment. Happily, the book delivers a number of excellent recipes from Brazier and other contributors. In addition, it appears that a conscious effort was made to make them a bit easier to prepare than the previous books' examples. Unfortunately, the poor editing of 'Whole Foods To Thrive' diminishes the recipe section significantly. For example, any page reference made to another recipe, a dressing for a salad, for example, is incorrect. Correct the references early to make future use of the book easier. In addition, don't be surprised when a listed ingredient disappears, and/or is replaced, in the preparation section. Finally, albeit brief, Brendan Brazier makes a reference to eating starchy carbohydrates to gain size and strength. He says that he refers to it in another Thrive book. Owning each of the three books, I was unable to find any other information pertaining to, or supporting, this statement. A small detail admittedly, but as a non-endurance athlete who would like to put on some additional size, Mr. Brazier's insight into this area would be appreciated. Despite a relatively neutral review, I would still recommend the books in the THRIVE series for those interested in supporting their athletic endeavors through proper nutrition.
