READER TESTIMONIALS:

“I’ve been training for powerlifting since reading the first edition of The Way of Vegan Meathead. I started working out a few years after becoming vegan, but without the proper nutrition and programming, I encountered a lot of plateaus as a beginner. Daniel really helped me get on track and come up with a consistent plan for me to follow. Since then, I’ve conquered many of my strength goals including benching over 315 pounds and deadlifting over 500 pounds. I owe it to Daniel for his guidance about nutrition, programming, and for giving me the structure I needed to enter into the world of vegan strength.” ─Nicholas C., Texas

“I’ve been lifting weights on a plant-based diet for almost a decade now, but this book made me rethink everything I believed to know about nutrition and especially supplements like creatine. Sure, some might say it’s “bro-science,” and to those I can only reply: So what? It fucking works.” ─Tim R., Germany

“I’ve been vegan for 16 years, but never considered powerlifting until reading The Way of The Vegan Meathead! Daniel is extremely knowledgeable about what it takes to perform at a high level and lift HEAVY! He gives insightful answers to the age old question of, “Where do you get your protein?,” with plenty of examples and lots of different meal plans! He makes it known in his book that you don’t need to eat meat to lift heavy!” ─Chris N., New Jersey
