GET YOUR PLANT-BASED NUTRITION RIGHT!
So many people either give up on a plant-based diet, or feel they're not performing at their best because they don't have the right information from the start. They've been told You can get all your protein from broccoli! or Just eat more beans and you'll be fine! - and they've found they're not actually fine.
Have you ever wondered whether you'll be able to perform at the highest level if you switch to eating a plant-based diet? Have you been vegan for a while and need some help in fine tuning your nutrition plan? Or maybe you've thought that you should eat less meat, but don't know where to start...
Peak Performance on Plants by Alex Wood and Aisha Summers answers all those questions and more, providing an unbiased research-based guide on vegan nutrition. It gives you a clear view of going plant-based beyond the hype and green-washing that can put you off even trying your first meat-free meal.
Peak performance means that you are functioning at your best, no matter what you're doing - from high level athleticism, where you're counting every gram of protein that you consume, to living your healthiest life doing the things you love with the people you love. At the foundation of it all is the food that you eat. Getting it right is complicated, which is why Alex Wood, a long-term vegan coach and personal trainer, and Aisha Summers, a nutritionist, wrote this ground-breaking book.
In Peak Performance on Plants, these are just some of the things you will discover:
- The evidence-based benefits of a diet that places plants at the center. It covers everything from the prevention of chronic disease in the long-term to the short-term effects of changing the fuel source that powers your training.
- The bottom line on protein - how much you need, where to get it on a plant-based diet, and crucial information on protein quality and digestibility.
- The different kinds of plant-based diets, and which is the best one for your specific needs.
- The key micronutrients that you need to get enough of to function at your best, how to work out how much you're getting and whether you might need more.
- Understanding that the timing of when you eat your meals can have a huge impact on performance and long-term health.
- Vegan recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including Apple Pie Protein Porridge, a Vegan Meatball Sub, Butternut Mac and Cheese and many more.
Whether you're a competitive athlete, a part-time gym-goer, or even someone who struggles to get off the couch, this book will provide you with the best foundation for boosting your performance, on plants!
If you are thinking of going plant-based, or if you are already there, you need to read this now.
