Resumen del Editor

Our health is in crisis and so is our climate.

What if there was a way of eating that may help us live healthier for longer and protect the future of our planet, too?

The good news is that evidence now shows a plant-based diet may offer us exactly that - and straight-talking nutritionist Simon Hill has done the hard work translating the science into actionable advice for everyday life.

Before transitioning to a plant-based diet, Simon held many of the common misconceptions. But instead he experienced incredible improvements in his energy levels, digestion, mental clarity and post-workout recovery after making the shift. He’d finally understood the power of food and was determined to find out - and share - the agenda-free truth about the optimum diet for human health.

By undertaking a master’s degree in nutrition, poring over the latest scientific papers and books and producing hundreds of hours of his internationally successful Plant Proof podcast, Simon has pursued the answers to all the questions he had about fuelling our bodies with more plants. Now, in his first book, he brings it all together into one inspiring and practical guide.

It covers:

• The reasons why we’re all so confused about what to eat.
• The evidence showing how a plant-based diet might reduce risks of heart attacks and strokes, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dementia.
• The positive impact of plant-based living for the climate and animal welfare.
• Common myths about a plant-based diet - and what the real facts are.
• How to build a healthy, satisfying plant-based plate, from macronutrients to micronutrients.
• Practical tips for making the shift, and much more.

If you want to understand and unlock the many benefits of putting more plants on your plate, this book is for you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazing

I have been vegan for 2 years, reading many titles and information on this way of life. This book is by far the best, educating, explaining and offering wisdom and support at the same time. A must read for everyone wanting to understand how plants are the answer to a healthier life and a better planet.

Life Changing

Perfectly done - amazing information- if health is what you want this provides the roadmap! You will not be disappointed in this purchase; I’m so appreciative of the authors knowledge and dedication in bringing this information forward.

Highly recommend

Comprehensive, thorough, fact based. Highly recommend if you’re curious to learn about the benefits of a whole food plant-based lifestyle.

Also, Read the China Study

T. Collin Campbell’s book, The China Study, gives you insight to understand how the Whole Food Plant Based diet works. Dr. Campbell is a biochemist that was at the foundation of understanding the plant-based diet.

Excellent source of plant-based lifestyle education

I recommend this book to everyone. It was terrific how he dived deep into important micronutrients.

Everyone Should Read This

No matter what your current diet is, this book does a good job of laying out the pros and cons of animal and plant-based diets backed by rigorous scientific research. Simon is a great narrator and author with a vast amount of knowledge to convey.

Eye opener

Fantastic book! A deep dive yet still easy to understand. My dad had A-Fib in his late 50s and died of Alzheimers 15 years later which lit a fire under me to seek out experts like you to change the course of my family’s life. Thank you Simon! - Doug from Minnesota

Informative refresher course for seasoned whole food plant based audience

The information was well presented and provided reminders as well as newer research studies regarding the health benefits of a WFPB lifestyle

Food for my brain

I can’t wait to listen to this book again, I also bought the hard copy. I was hungry for good information on this subject and this covered it all….20 stars!!

Great information. Print a better option, maybe?

I'm a big fan of Simon Hill His podcast is great and he's extremely knowledgeable.

The information presented here is extremely interesting and valuable. For me, however, I found it hard to properly follow and absorb as an audible in my car while driving to and from work.

I've returned my audible and ordered the print copy.
