Thrive 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 features:

* the best whole foods 

* a 12-week whole foods meal plan 

* over 100 easy-to-make recipes with raw food options that are all wheat-, gluten-, soy-, corn-, refined sugar-, and dairy-free,

* exercise-specific recipes for pre-workout snacks, energy gels, sports drinks, and recovery smoothies 

* environmental preservation – learn how Thrive can help

Reviews

"During my career I've always surrounded myself with people who are the best in their field, whether it's my triathlon coach, an exercise scientist or massage therapist I've always sought the advice and guidance of individuals with a passion for excellence who never compromise. Brendan is simply the best nutritionalist I've found; his knowledge is second to none. I read The Thrive Diet 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 Diet 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"

"Quite possibly the most life-changing book you'll ever read. For maximizing fitness and vitality, The Thrive Diet has no equal."
