Customer Review: Vegans can compete at all levels of sports
Congratulations to Mr. Wiegand for going so far in debunking the myth that meat and dairy are required to compete at the highest levels of endurance sports! Also in showing that one can expect an increased edge over others while consuming a plant based diet during training and competition. His list of current vegan champions in their respective sports supports his work. Less sleep required, less recovery time and greater and greater energy are what one draws from his experiences and documentation from a vegan diet. While some look at veganism as a personal-philosophical -spiritual choice it becomes clear through the reading of the book that veganism simply is superior in every measurable aspect of physical and emotional health. I can corroborate that one CAN even do some training while vegan without necessarily eating/fueling up before a training session (i.e run, bycicling) as the diet gives so much energy. I will add through experience that the more raw one’s diet becomes the greater one’s energy is felt.

Customer Review: Finally a diet book that works!
For several years now I have been fighting a loosing battle against middle-age spread. Fortunately, a friend gave me a copy of this book. I found it easy to read and it made good sense; there is some science for those who want more understanding. By following the advice of the book, I effortlessly lost weight to the point of attaining the muscle definition I had in my 20’s! A plus was never feeling hungry and being able to eat large, filling, tasty meals; the book contains over 100 recipes and tells you what foods will sabotage being in ‘The Zone’. Being in the soy zone also confirs other health advantages in addition to permanent weight loss, so you owe it to your body to get a copy.

Customer Review: A great book to add to your collection
I have enjoyed using this book & the results have been great with all of the recipies I’ve tried so far. There is a big section at the beginning of book about the Ingredients used in Indian cooking with great tips on where to find the spices & vegetables that are more difficult to find. The recipes are easy to follow (although some are complex, so make sure you read it all before starting) I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their cooking repertoire.
