Synopsis

In this daring book, Bradie S. Crandall challenges the pervasive assertion that you need to eat meat to grow big and strong with the highest quality and most up-to-date science available. Viewing the human body as a machine, he uses his training as an engineer to dissect common misconceptions surrounding the controversial nutritional landscape with ease. Within this text is a bold new dietary approach for strength athletes. Bradie asserts that a diet featuring plants could potentially be more conducive to building strength and mass than a diet featuring animal products. He breaks down the science and helps explain why across professional athletics, more and more elite athletes are adopting plant-based diets. Praise for Bradie S. Crandall and The Living Machine: “The Living Machine is a calculated look at the human body as a mechanical object and how a plant-based diet might be the ideal fuel for power and performance as well as health. Finally, a book that explains in great detail how an increasing number of athletes have been able to thrive on a vegan diet, without exaggeration or pseudoscience. This is the manual for plant-based performance I wish I’d had when I started.” -Nick Squires, International Powerlifting League World Champion
