Thrive Diet Orlando

Thanks to Vegan Bodybuilding.com, an answer is solved. Their DVD that profiles 3 athletes has a triathlete who wrote a book about nutrition for vegan athletes. Well, that book is available in Hardcover, having been published Dec 2007 by Decapo press.

I drove out to buy it, in part because of my disappointment with Veganomicon just putting out variations of a theme and not meeting my needs. Not their fault, despite being the "ultimate" decepticon. Anyways, I returned Veganomicon to Borders, and I bought Thrive Diet. (http:brendanbrazier.com)

Wow! The first chapters cover his research on stress and nutrition, and roles of exercise and so forth.
So, we here at Orlandont are undertaking this for Lent. We should come out leaner, cleaner, and forgiven.

Veganomicon got me down on veganism. If you search for the 2 star review on Amazon.com, you'll find some flunkies protesting my negative review. Veganism really is a pretentious scene. I don't care for the identity aspect. However, there's aspects that I agree with and don't want to sacrifice. I appreciate Thrive Diet for sharing my sensibilities, and more importantly, doing all the heavy lifting to arrive at an optimal vegan diet and making a meal plan for those who don't want to think too hard.

Eating is a social thing, and those other vegan personality/celebrity books are good for potlucks and such. We'll refer to Joy of Vegan Baking for movie production meals. Thrive Diet is there for us to rock the stress out.

I guess I'm with you with Veganomicon. Received it from the library and returned it. I've been looking at The Thrive diet at the library and now I am thinking of ordering it. This guy makes sense. A great book is Rebar. It's vegetarian and offers vegan alternative. I really like it.
