Book Reviews of Vegan in 30 Days: Get Healthy. Save the World.
Book Review: BUY THIS BOOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think "Vegan in 30 Days" is a fantastic book! Sarah Taylor, the author, recommends 3 ideas that have changed my life. I believe they are absolutely fundamental to successfully becoming vegan. If you just do these 3 things, it will change your life: 1) Read "Diet for a New America." I've only read a few books that have changed my life... this is one of them! (I buy this book for all my friends.) Sarah Taylor loves this book and it has profoundly influenced her life. This gives this author great credibility in my eyes. 2) Drink a green smoothie everyday. This habit has been fundamental to my converting to a vegan lifestyle. (I just completed my third marathon, so believe me, vegan living gives you more energy!) On days when I don't eat the right things, my green smoothie saves me. Everything else seems to fall naturally into place (it also reduces my cravings for sweet things). Which leads me to the second book that changed my life, "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko. (Victoria has since written Green Smoothie Revolution: The Radical Leap Towards Natural Health, which I can't wait to read.) Green smoothies are literally the cornerstone of my diet (Here's what I do: I mix organic apple juice, filtered water, a banana, frozen mango, dates (no sugar!), and I stuff my Vitamix full of spinach, kale, lettuce, carrot tops, beet tops, dandelion greens, etc. It makes all this "rabbit food" taste delicious. Plus it's RAW!). Dory, the reviewer, criticizes Sarah Taylor for recommending that we buy a "$500 blender." This is simply absurd. I bought my Vitamix at my local health food store for only $149, and I see them for sale on ebay today for as little as $105. I actually SAVE MONEY (I figure I save at least $50 a month by not buying meat, that's $600 a year!). So if you follow the author's recommendations and buy a Vitamix and drink green smoothies, you will literally SAVE MONEY! (and also lose weight... GUARANTEED) 3) The author recommends buying a beautiful fruit bowl and keeping it full. I did this and not only does it look beautiful - I'm proud when friends come to visit! - but I eat at least three times as much fruit as I used to. It just looks so YUMMY! She also recommends making vegan friends, online if necessary. I agree. You must build a new community of friends who reinforce your new habits. So I highly recommend "Vegan in 30 Days." Sarah Taylor is "right on the money." She makes something difficult very simple and easy to understand. Follow her advice and your life will change! (I'm sorry to see that Dory slammed this wonderful book, because it may cause people who otherwise might have loved it not to even read it. I strongly disagree with Dory's review. Dory is disappointed that this book because it doesn't contain as many recipes as she would like, or as much technical data on vegan nutrition. Well, all I can say is that I have lots of vegan recipe books and lots of books on vegan nutrition (probably at least 12!), and not one of them has ever changed my life. I believe becoming vegan is a very difficult challenge. Knowledge alone is not strong enough to make us change our lifestyle habits (otherwise smokers and alcoholics would easily be able to quit once they acquire knowledge that smoking and drinking too much is not good for you; however, this simply isn't the case). Only a change in "how we see the world" is strong enough to allow us to change our habits. So I say: Bravo for Sarah Taylor and "Vegan in 30 Days!")
