This book epitomizes what all good instruction books should be.It is clearly and concisely written.The reasoning is well explained and backed up with both personal experience and scientific reports (there is a good reference section).Brendan starts with his own story - "you can't compete without eating meat" - and proceeds to prove the naysayers very wrong.He explains, in a clear fashion, what one is doing through intensive training (stress) and how to make your diet help your performance.
He clearly explains the rationale behind a raw vegan diet as well as why he uses certain additional dietary supplements such as Maca.He provides menus and recipes in the book.
For anyone following the healthy path of raw vegan food this is a great reference.Too bad other books don't have a similar 'bang for the buck' as this.
