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.

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.

Insightful, informative and shared in an encouraging way

Rock on Simon! Value the way you don’t blame or shame people for their choices and instead use clear evidence to invite us to embrace a plant based lifestyle. Finished this book inspired to take steps along the plant based path. Thank you 🙏

Everyone should read this!!!!!

This book was fantastic! if everyone followed a largely plant based diet, like this author suggests, we will live longer, healthier lives. this book explains why and how this is possible, and motivated me to change my diet into a healthy and sustainable lifestyle choice. I feel less bloated, lighter and more focused. this book will truly change your life for the better.
loved it!

Packed with facts and encouragement

Facebook will be read at least one more time probably repeatedly it’s so full of information that it’s impossible to get it all in the first reading. Simon’s voice is very used to listen to and he lays it out in a way that really encourages change behaviours and eating habits.

Life Changing 💚

Thank you Simon for writing & narrating the book that has changed my life. Evidence based, The Proof is in the Plants is jam packed with information that has empowered me to change my diet, lifestyle & mindset. Simon, your narration is fantastic & kept me captivated the entire book. Being a busy mum, I chose to wait for the audiobook, but I was so impressed I also bought a hard copy to discuss & share concepts with my husband. Thank you for the countless hours you have dedicated to your podcast & this book. Congratulations. 💚
