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.

Second time taking this book in! Love it!

I read the paperback version of this work. I had to listen to it as well as I took so many more golden nuggets in the second time round. Simon explains the science in a profound way that the everyday person can understand! Thank you Simon for taking the time to create this health resource for so many!

Excellent

Simon clearly has a passion and interest in improving his own health and well being, but has ‘digested’ and summarised the evidence, presenting things clearly and practically, for those without a scientific background. Truly a life changing read (I think there’s only 2 other books I’ve read, that I can say that about). Thanks Simon!

Brilliant

Simon has given me more inspiration than any other author over the 8 year journey I have had being vegan. Truly well researched, presented and manageable goals. Well done.

Great

Loved this it was a great recap on the focuses for a “healthy” plant based diet. I pulled lots of information that was new to me out of this book despite being Vegan for the past three years, I had a lot it it moments of truth too e.g. diversity of plants when I had to face into the fact that I could and used to do better in this space and that a reset would be a good idea. This is one of those books that I will clearly return to again and again! Well written and beautifully narrated. I can’t praise this audio book highly enough 💚

I’m converted

Absolutely loved it. Simon explains science in a way that somehow makes it easy to understand.
I was on the fence with eating plant based, but after listening to this I am completely all in converted to whole food plant based living.
