The thrive diet is a long-term eating plan to help all athletes (professional or not) develop a lean body, sharp mind, and everlasting energy.

Featuring a 12-week meal plan, over 100 allergen-free recipes with raw food options,including recipes for energy gels, sport drinks, and recovery foods,and a complementary exercise plan, The Thrive Diet is an authoritative guide to outstanding performance" (Neal D. Barnard, M.D., Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine).
