Format:Paperback
I'm a fitness instructor who has been finding a constant work schedule harder and harder to keep up with - until a friend introduced me to the Thrive Diet. I'm not vegan and I don't follow the whole diet, but Brendan's early chapters made it crystal clear to me why I was napping in the afternoons and feeling absolutely wrecked after my classes. I follow his recipes and theories about fuelling for athletic performance and literally one week into using his pre-exercise drinks, homemade electrolyte drinks for during exercise and recovery drinks for afterwards, I am a changed person. I'm awake for the whole day, alert, calmer, giving a lot more to my classes and am generally just more rational and relaxed after months of feeling about 90.
The book is worth the price just to read his well-thought out philosophies about diet, whether you're an athlete or not. But whatever your lifestyle, if you're finding yourself tired, drained, gaining or unable to lose weight, inexplicably cranky and for any reason suspect you might be heading into adrenal burn-out, you will find explanations, answers and best still, solutions, in the Thrive Diet - without necessarily turning vegan or radically changing your life.
A little warning - the first shopping trip to buy the base ingredients WILL dent your bank account as you need quality products, probably from a health food store, but most of these more obscure items will last you a long time as they're used in small quantities.
Hurrah for the thrive diet!

Although the book did not answer my "high" expectations, it seems very useful/helpful not only for beginners but also for athletes/fitness instructors etc.
There are some good exercises illustrated by Brazier, with clear explanations. I loved the one called "Foot Towel Roll Shin Strengthener". If you think you need to add some fitness in your running routine, these ones will definitely help you to draw your own way.
Brief information about bones and muscles is also very helpful. "Eight Key Nutrients" Part at the end might make you see clearer what is going on in your body while running. (For example; I did not know I was breaking down my cell tissues while running... interesting information) Recipes also seem quite good; yet you need to show a greater afford to prepare them. I'm not very sure if I try any of those....
You will also love the stress part; which has been the main "concern" for me. Read this part carefully!

One of the most informative books on life, diet and the environment that you'll ever read. If you have the will power and the desire to follow it then it will change your life for the better. You'll need to shop online for a number of the US centric ingredients though.
