Plant Powered

by Adam Stansbury

What if I could show you how to transform your body and our planet just by changing the food choices you make?

Why Now?
The global fitness industry is rapidly expanding and worth over $83 billion, helped by the influence of social media and its obsessive focus on the visual nature of our physical reality.Alongside the lust for the body beautiful, improved performance and optimised health, comes an ever-increasing need for protein, protein that is mostly derived from animals, of which 150 billion are slaughtered every year by an industry that creates 1/3 of all Global Green House Gas Emissions and uses 30% of the earths entire ice-free land surface, turning our beautiful and naturally diverse planet into a gigantic animal protein factory. Yet we add more and more protein to manmade food products on our shelves. Do we really need that much protein to optimise our Health, Body Composition and Performance or is this just clever marketing, capitalising on the belief that more equals better? Transitioning to a Plant Based Diet can help to alleviate much of the destruction associated with eating a heavy animal protein-based diet, whilst providing us with all the nutrients we need, not just to survive but to thrive.

This Book

My book is part-memoir, part manifesto, with lots of recipes, nutrition and training advice for a healthy, plant-based diet and how it can benefit not just our own individual health but the health of our planet, it’s essentially ‘philosophy for food and fitness’. Follow my journey through life as a professional model, several life-threatening digestive surgeries, onto bodybuilding shows, and into hallucinogenic plant medicines, that took me on an enlightening adventure to the Amazon jungle and led me to realise that it is possible to Transform Your Body and Our Planet with a plant-based diet.
