Worth it to read the first 126 pages before the recipes. I found insightful the concepts of nutritional stress and nutrient to resource ratio, which provide good rationales to drastically reduce meat consumption
Very interesting read. It showed some new aspects of nutrition that I haven't thought of before. I also like the recipes of sport gels and drinks and I will definitely try them out. I did not like the redundancies in this book though. I read the german translation which was awful, unfortunately the original is too difficult language-wise for me. I will need it though for the recipes because the translation is incorrect at many points.
Read this in search of "better stuff to put in my belly to not tank on 11 miles of bike commute a day" after seeing his latest recipe book which has a delicious bunch of greens on the front. I should probably have just stuck with the recipe book?
Heavy on supplements but also steeped in common sense, rest, and whole foods, this seemed at times mostly a promotion for Brazier's supplement line. I wasn't convinced by the discussion of getting enough nutrients and keeping hormones & good cholesterol in balance when eating only vegetables; it seemed glossy and simple at best while neglecting to specify many problems that easily arise when one omits most foods on a raw vegan diet, though I know it's wholly a your mileage may vary issue. I can't argue with eating more plants, but it would be nice to know what to do when one can't afford supplements or miracle fruits & seeds shipped halfway across the globe.
I appreciated most that this book was not at all full of vegan industry propaganda and tirades against factory farming. Brazier's attitude toward getting enough rest and keeping one's brain going through good food and stimulating exercise was really refreshing.… (altro)

In short, I'm not going to incorporate dates into everything I eat, but I would like to find some chlorella somewhere around here.
