The Plantpower Way

complete, authentic, and delicious. Quite simply, Julie Piatt and Rich Roll have authored the best book I have read on the topic, and I have read many. The Plantpower Way is remarkably thorough, teaches you about the very essence of the foods, provides a guide to buying those foods, and includes the perfect preparation and the astonishing benefits. There are big lessons and small, such as when to add herbs and spices for maximum return, and also a reminder to take time to smell those herbs every now and then.

The book quickly jumps onto your wavelength and is so intuitive that it provides answers before you even ask the question. To blend or to juice. How to get your kids on the diet and the age-old query about whether plants can provide adequate protein. In case your curiosity is piqued, Rich Roll says you can absolutely get the building blocks of protein you need through Plantpower, and decrease the risk of vascular disease at the same time. He will show you how.

By the way, I am living proof of his philosophy. It worked for me.

If you are perusing this book, you are probably already looking for a change. You are likely dissatisfied with the standard American diet (SAD) and already believe in something more. If that sounds familiar, this book could change your life. Give it a place of prominence in your home. Share it with your friends. It will be one of the greatest gifts you ever provide. They will definitely thank you for the Cherry Cacao Blend; it is almost too good to be true.

This may surprise you, but most doctors didn t learn nutrition in medical school. It seems almost absurd, given that our foods can be medicine. Nearly all I learned has been on my own. And around the time I turned forty it took on a new sense of urgency. With heart disease running in my family, I was not prepared to accept the same destiny as generations of men before me. Not only did I want to avoid that seemingly preordained fate, I wanted to turn it on its head. I wanted to get fitter, healthier, and even younger than I was the year before. I spent late nights

transformed his life and can help you do the same. The Plantpower Way provides a clear roadmap to a healthier, happier lifestyle. A must read for anyone looking to make positive, substantive change, from the inside out.
