Publisher's summary

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.

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.

A little too biased for me

I feel like there was a lot of emphasis on no animal products, but the studies often group animal products in with processed foods/ the complete standard American diet as. That is like doing a study where one of the groups was “vegetarian” but they all also smoke… I would like to hear about a diet that is mostly plant based with some animal products, but no processed or fried foods. I see evidence for minimizing animal products, but because they are natural and have some health benefits I don’t understand cutting them out completely.

I’ve heard a few studies that show vegans are more likely to get Alzheimer’s and Dementia… which was not mentioned in the dementia chapter.

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.

Science Over Opinion

The science behind the conclusions, the logic, the clear presentation of information, and the ease of reading make this book special among "diet" books.

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.
