DIET and NUTRITION
The Thrive Diet is a plant-based, dairy-free eating plan that also relies heavily on eating raw foods as often as possible. The plan includes a 12-week eating guide as well as more than 100 sample recipes, a shopping guide, staple ingredients and much more.
A sample menu might look like this:
For breakfast: a bowl of Banana Ginger Pear Cereal
For lunch: Creamy Pepper soup with Curry Lentil crackers
For dinner: Pecan Sunflower Burger
For dessert: Banana Coconut Pie
EXERCISE
As a trained athlete, there is little doubt that daily exercise is an integral component of Brazier's Thrive Diet. Exercise is broken down into three levels that vary according to ability and intensity. Each level comes with detailed instructions for the kinds of cardiovascular and strength-training exercises you are instructed to do as well as what to eat before and after workouts and a training journal that helps you keep track of your progress.
CONCLUSION
If you're willing to clean up your diet and significantly reduce your carbon footprint on the Mother Earth, The Thrive Diet may just be your thing. This vegan-based and largely raw food eating plan gets bonus points for its abundance of plant-based foods, healthy fats and active lifestyle. But if you're someone who can't imagine life without brie cheese, a burger or the occasional bag of chips, you might want to think otherwise about following it.

It will change your life.
I have been using the Thrive Diet recipes for a while now. Braizer recommends to start slow and build, so I have started with the smoothies, energy bars and pre/post workout recommendations - so far these things are fast, nutritious and making a large impact in my energy level.
