How to Transition to the Life-Saving - Plant-Based Diet

Review:The whole planet is getting fat, each cow uses over 2000 gallons of water, cows and chickens produce a huge amount of methane and global warming, and animal fats cause heart attacks (read the story about Norway in WW2).

Plant-Based Recipes to Fuel Your Workouts―and the Rest of Your Life

Review:I listen to the podcast, so I had pre-ordered the book. It has some really great information about plant based diets, especially for athletes. I haven't tried the recipes yet but I'm sure that I will. They are pretty straight forward, not too many crazy ingredients. The thing that bugs me is the "no oil" option.

Review:I’ve cooked nearly every recipe in this book and nearly all of them are perfection. Great meals worth not so hard to find ingredients.
