HOW A PLANT-BASED DIET IMPROVES PERFORMANCE - AND HOW TO DO IT
YOURSELF 'A fantastic resource for any plant-based athlete looking
to get stronger or fitter' James Wilks, winner of The Ultimate
Fighter and producer of The Game Changers 'Well-written,
well-researched, highly recommended!' Gene Stone, co-author of How
Not to Die 'Whether you're looking to kickstart a healthier
lifestyle or take your training to the next level, this book has
you covered' Plant-Based Health Professionals UK The scientific
evidence overwhelmingly shows that a plant-based diet is one of the
most effective ways to improve both long-term health and to see
immediate results in terms of energy, recovery and performance. But
what can you do to ensure your diet boosts your performance in your
sport or training? In The Plant-Based Power Plan, registered elite
sports nutritionist TJ Waterfall uses the cutting-edge research he
applies with his clients - ranging from Premiership rugby players,
competitive weightlifters and professional boxers, to Premier
League footballers and ultra-distance triathletes - to bust the
myths and explain how a well-planned plant-based diet can take your
health and performance to the next level. With simple but
comprehensive practical guidance - from maximising muscle protein
synthesis and improving your recovery, to tweaking nutrition timing
and getting enough energy to fuel highly active training schedules
- TJ gives you everything you need to bring your A-game. He also
shows you just how simple it is to incorporate the most important
nutrients into your diet with a selection of 30 easy and delicious
recipes. 'A definite "must read"' Fiona Oakes, four-time
world-record-holding marathon runner 'Brim full of the information
you need to eat your way towards your full potential' Etienne Stott
MBE, London 2012 canoe slalom gold medallist 'A holistic lifestyle
guide, from a scientist not a guru' Dale Vince OBE, Chairperson,
Forest Green Rovers FC, the world's first vegan football club
'Every athlete, coach, trainer and medical practitioner in all
sporting organisations should read this book and utilise the
insights it offers' Les Kiss, Head Coach, London Irish Rugby Club
Praise for jae steele's Get It Ripe:
"This book is less a cookbook than an all-in-one guide to
healthy vegan living, for which steele's holistic-nutritionist
training is put to good use."--VegNews
Get It Ripe, jae steele's 2008 cookbook, established her as a
credible and charismatic authority on veganism; her holistic
nutritionist background and sassy cowpunk sensibility encouraged
countless others to "get it ripe." Her new cookbook underscores the
importance of local, sustainable eating and living by helping
readers deepen their understanding of organic and local foods and
their positive impact on our health and our planet.
The book includes chapters on the concept of local food and why
it's important; finding a balance between various food issues,
personal priorities and values; and the benefits of the local food
movement that go beyond reducing our carbon footprint. It also
helps readers become more informed about where their food comes
from, no matter where they live, whether their source is the
farmer's market or the grocery store down the street.
The book's 180 recipes, which encourage the use of fresh,
organic ingredients wherever possible (as well as potential
alternatives depending on where you live), include Strawberry
Rhubarb Muffins, Pear Parsnip Soup, Asparagus and Spring Onion
Quiche, Mushroom Asparagus Risotto, and Butternut Chipotle
Chocolate Cake.
Both thought-provoking and delectable, steele's new cookbook
makes any time the "ripe" time to go vegan.
jae steele is a holistic nutritionist who runs the popular blog
Domestic Affair. She lives in Toronto.
