In this daring book, Bradie S. Crandall challenges the pervasive assertion that you need to eat meat to grow big and strong with the highest quality and most up-to-date science available. Viewing the human body as a machine, he uses his training as an engineer to dissect common misconceptions surrounding the controversial nutritional landscape with ease. Within this text is a bold new dietary approach for strength athletes. Bradie asserts that a diet featuring plants could potentially be more conducive to building strength and mass than a diet featuring animal products. He breaks down the science and helps explain why across professional athletics, more and more elite athletes are adopting plant-based diets. Praise for Bradie S. Crandall and The Living Machine: “The Living Machine is a calculated look at the human body as a mechanical object and how a plant-based diet might be the ideal fuel for power and performance as well as health. Finally, a book that explains in great detail how an increasing number of athletes have been able to thrive on a vegan diet, without exaggeration or pseudoscience. This is the manual for plant-based performance I wish I’d had when I started.” -Nick Squires, International Powerlifting League World Champion

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging

I am transitioning from omnivore to vegan and have been powerlifting for four years. I truly love eating animals and it saddens me to say goodbye to animal protein. However, industrialized farming is ethically disgusting and I can no longer live with my head in the sand.

There are probably three main takeaways I got from the book. I won’t spoil them here but they are worth the purchase. Hint: The charts are handy.

This book is a quick read and good for strength athletes who are considering or have committed to becoming vegan. There are many pros to this book but a big one is the diversity of vegan diets presented in the text. Eating vegan is not presented as one-size-fits-all and the author illustrates this with many examples. I personally feel empowered to eat vegan however I see fit.

Finally, the author is an excellent writer. By that I mean his sentences are easy to understand, they flow into each other, and his sections make broad points. Easily 5 stars.

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020
We have been debating the idea of going vegan and didn't know where to start, but this book opens the doors wide open and explains how using a plant-based diet can continue to build strength without meat products. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Easy to read and understand!
