"Thrive focuses on vegan foods that help fuel your way to uber athleticism."

"The Thrive Diet feeds your body all the nutrients it needs without empty calories and with minimal stress."

Thrive is a long-term eating plan to help all athletes (professional or not) develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy. As one of the few professional athletes on a plant-based diet, Brendan Brazier researched and developed this easy-to-follow program to enhance his performance as an elite endurance competitor.

Brazier clearly describes the benefits of nutrient-rich foods in their natural state versus processed foods, and how to choose nutritionally efficient, stress-busting whole foods for maximum energy and health. Featuring a 12-week meal plan, over 100 allergen-free recipes with raw food options--including recipes for energy gels, sport drinks, and recovery foods--and a complementary exercise plan, The Thrive Diet is "an authoritative guide to outstanding performance" (Neal D. Barnard, M.D., Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine).

Brendan Brazier is a former professional Ironman triathlete, bestselling author on performance nutrition, and the creator of the award-winning line of Vega nutritional products. He is from Vancouver, British Columbia.
