I read in one review posted above "and you are (or aspire to be) a vegan, then this book is definitely for you." is this a JOKE? THIS reader obviously did not open this book at all! the term "vegetarian" in used so freely that people that eat a burger a week are considered "semi-vegetarians". What is that supposed to mean? And what about "pesco-vegetarians"? This guide is a joke. If you take veganism or vegetarianism seriously, don't waste your money on this title. However, I give it 2 stars because it has some information on vitamins and other supplements. Yet, I can get the same advice from any other "omni/carnivore" regular nutrition book.

If you consider yourself to be an endurance athlete (of any type) and you are (or aspire to be) a vegan, then this book is definitely for you. I have seen many other books that say the word "Vegetarian" on the cover, when they really mean ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian (eggs, milk, and fish). This book lives up to it's title by featuring lots of recipes, example diets (from professional vegan athletes), and nutrition information for vegans (persons who eat absolutely NO animal products)!

I have been vegetarian for 12 years and this book is the greatest. Not only does it give detailed information about protein and your body's needs, but it has great recipies. The recipies alone are a good reason to buy it. They are simple and easy to cook. It is very practical. It sure beats doing it they way I did it when I started beng vegetarian. I just started eating peanut butter sandwiches for weeks until I figured out how to eat healthy. Even if you have been vegetarian for a long time, you will probably learn something from this book.
