Matt Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've started this thread so we don't confuse Thrive with his latest book The Thrive Diet. If that's ok. http://www.penguin.ca/static/cs/cn/0/microsites/thrivediet/images/subpage_left.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Currently ranked #95 on the Amazon.ca bestseller list! At least according to the actual record. Let's get that number higher! Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Awesome! Thanks. I have mine on my desk now and was going to take a photo with my camera, but this looks like a better image It actually peaked at #26 !!!! I'd love to see it get in the top 25! Thanks for the support. I just got off the phone with Brendan. He's an awesome guy and a real influential person in my life. So much so that I'd say probably the best thing I ever did, aside from becoming vegan was contacting Brendan 3 years ago, asking him to be in my DVD. Now we work very closely and it has been life-changing for me in a very positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I grabbed that image from the book's web site. I linked to the image on that page. I hope they don't mind. I'd like to meet Brendan sometime...seems like a really nice guy. You guys are great spokespeople for the vegan fitness community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarrio Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I can't wait to get the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_langlois01 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I just finished reading The Thrive Diet! It takes the ideas in the first Thrive and push it a little bit further. In my opinion, it is a mix of "The vegetarian sport nutrition guide", the first "Thrive" and "Becoming Vegan". Overall, it is one of the best book on vegan nutrition!

Matt Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Awesome! Sounds like a keeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Just got it today! Amazon.ca shipped it in about 4 working days to the USA...pretty fast! Skimmed through it...looks awesome. More to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I finished it two days ago. I forgot to post about it. I love it. Its somewhat similar to the first book but it goes much more in depth with his new ideas about where we should take our nutrition. The last book was very good but this one is much better. Also the awesome new recipes definately deserve attempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Agree. To follow up (I'm about 40% through it already), it really is what I wanted/hoped Thrive would be before I read that. Thrive Diet is great, too, because every sentence has some good info and it's very concise. There's no digressions or tangents...very focused and well-written. A must-have book, and a new paradigm, at least for "mainstream" diet-book readers. It's too bad that every book out there (at least in the US) has the word "diet" attached to it which implies weight loss, but this is about nutrition, of course, and "the only book you'll ever need" to guide your nutrition, in my opinion. I hope it gets the attention it deserves when it comes out in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 We have it, I'll read it as soon as I can wrestle it away from Suz... looks like a great resource. And inpsiring for those just moving into the raw realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 It is a bad thing that people see Diet and think DIET...but in the case of a pro vegan diet book I think its a good thing. Especially since I can't even recall him mentioning vegan ethics at all in the book other than from the environmental standpoint. Maybe some people will be dumb enough too see this simply as a book sold to make you lose some weight which is fine since it will do that for nearly everyone who needs too.

Guest Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I've made the recovery pudding(can't remember which but it was from the first book) and it tasted great...I've also made his sunflower pate(I think that's what it was) and it was incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamela Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've read it (I have a special "press" copy that says things like "please see page XX" instead of the actual page numbers ) and it is shaping some changes I am currently making to my diet. I'm going to try making some of the recipes this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
