Plant-Based Gains: How cutting-edge nutritional science can boost your energy, recovery and performance – and how to do it yourself
The scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that a plant-based diet is one of the most effective ways to improve both long-term health and to see immediate results in terms of energy, recovery and performance. But how do you ensure that you're maximising your gains - where do you start?
In Plant-Based Gains, registered sports nutritionist TJ Waterfall uses cutting-edge research and his experience of working with world-class plant-based athletes - ranging from Premier League and international footballers, through Premiership Rugby players, track & field athletes and endurance runners, to competitive weightlifters, boxers and swimmers - to explain the numerous health benefits of a well-planned plant-based diet.
With simple but comprehensive practical guidance - from tweaking your nutrition timing and ensuring you consume enough calories, through maximising muscle protein synthesis and improving recovery times, to reducing inflammation and promoting career longevity - TJ shows why traditional 'diets' simply don't work and gives you the tools you need to make sure you're enhancing your nutrition. Myth-busting the key nutrients and what your body needs them for, and with a selection of 30 easy recipes included, TJ shows you just how simple it is to incorporate them into your diet and boost your fitness.
Optimising your plant-based diet is about having the knowledge - and confidence - that you're doing it right, because for elite sportspeople the smallest of margins make the difference between winning and losing. This book shows how a plant-based diet is the competitive edge you need.

Wonderfully researched but very easy to follow. Very detailed without being overwhelming. I have applied some tips and tricks and have seen differences in my sports performance.

If the readers are familiar with whole food plant based diet, there are not much to learn. Otherwise, this might be a good concise book.
