Peak Performance on Plants: The Essential Guide to Vegan Nutrition for Everyone from Competitive Athletes to Couch Potatoes

by
Have you ever thought that you should eat less meat, but don’t know where to start? Have you ever wondered whether you’ll be able to perform at your best if you switch to eating a plant-based diet? Have you been vegan for a while and need some help in fine tuning your nutrition plan? Peak Performance on Plants by Alex Wood and Aisha Summers answers all those questions and more, providing an unbiased research-based guide on vegan nutrition. It gives you a clear view of going plant-based beyond the hype and green-washing that can put you off even trying your first meat-free meal. Peak performance means that you are functioning at your best, no matter what you’re doing – from high level athleticism, where you’re counting every gram of protein that you consume, to living your healthiest life doing the things you love with the people you love. At the foundation of it all is the food that you eat. Getting it right is complicated, which is why Alex Wood, a long-term vegan coach and personal trainer, and Aisha Summers, a nutritionist, wrote this ground-breaking book. In Peak Performance on Plants, these are just some of the things you will discover: • The evidence-based benefits of a diet that places plants at the center. It covers everything from the prevention of chronic disease in the long-term to the short-term effects of changing the fuel source that powers your training. • The bottom line on protein – how much you need, where to get it on a plant-based diet, and crucial information on protein quality and digestibility. • The different kinds of plant-based diets, and which is the best one for your specific needs. • The key micronutrients that you need to get enough of to function at your best, how to work out how much you’re getting and whether you might need more. • Understanding that the timing of when you eat your meals can have a huge impact on performance and long-term health. • Vegan recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including Apple Pie Protein Porridge, a Vegan “Meatball” Sub, Butternut Mac and Cheese and many more. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a part-time gym-goer, or even someone who struggles to get off the couch, this book will provide you with the best foundation for boosting your performance, on plants!

Lemon-aid: Our love-and-not-love story with fruit and vegetable water—and how we’re better at managing sugar addiction because of it

by

Lemon-aid is the self-help book for people who are curious about and courageous enough for a real life change when it comes to drinking sugar-loaded beverages and discovering solutions that are within reach.

This refreshingly odd (mostly) and tell-all true story is an account of how a frantically busy and (admittedly) overwhelmed couple learned to become better versions of themselves by changing their family’s relationship with recreational sugar.

It’s also a how-to guide for others who are looking to break up with sweetened beverages, beat a soda addiction, or otherwise turbo-boost a journey toward building better habits without turning their lives upside down—complete with stories, swear words, and side quests to help you get over your challenges of healthier hydration.

Ever feel like you drink way too much soda? We sure did, and we’ll help you…

• Confront your compromised routines and “sugar demons” that are bringing you down.

• Develop a more desirable mindset that’s required for genuine lasting change.

• Learn how to get real with yourself and build new systems of behavior that you won’t hate.

• Create and live a healthier lifestyle as you explore the waterful world of infusion.

When you’re through with Lemon-aid, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where you want to be and how to get there, along with some insights and practical recipes that we’ve tried and tested at home with our two “beverage buddies”.

Infusion we trust.

Meet JW GU and Simona Mok

“Joey ‘JW’ Gu has been leisurely writing and shooting photography since middle school and has published works with SPIN, The New York Times, as well as Switzerland’s largest English business magazine and a fashion publication based in Amsterdam. Simona Mok has a background in banking and finance and has built a career in private equity and investment, along with an analytical portfolio of consumer trend insights and brand performances.

“Currently, they are both business proprietors and consultan…”—you know what, trying to define yourself IS like trying to bite your own teeth, perhaps with braces and a salty fist in your mouth.

What we are is simply THIS: flawed, struggling, and sometimes barely holding on. We have our rough days just like everyone else. But we’re learning and working hard and have our shiny ones too! And it’s these bright days that continue to get us here, and the not-so-bright ones that help us treasure it.

One could also say we’re an unfinished manuscript, still drafting AS we’re telling our story.

“When they’re not creating memories with their two cosmic sons and a female mustached dog named Chopper, Joey and Simona are co-founding partners running The Pacer Company, a consulting and training company based outside of the US. Eventually, they will once again call Southern California their home, where they plan to continue exploring and developing further opportunities for business, writing, and their family.” There, how’s that? Not too bad, we’d say—simple and straight, and the truth.
