Ignore the preachy buy vega stuff and the sketchy stats, its his first book and it reads like it but the principles are great for overall health.
I like the workout specific section, that really is his area of expertise and is fantastic help when you start incorporating exercise into your whole foods lifestyle.
As a practical intro to whole foods diet the principles are basically the same I read everywhere. The meal plans are ridiculously lengthy and take lots of prep, which is rewarding because they really are fantastic but I wouldnt recommend this for a busy lifestyle starting out on a whole foods diet.
I use this book as a recipe book and workout meal planning tool more than anything. His recipe only book has some amazing dishes in it as well.
