About the Authors 

H
i, we’re Darren & Georgie, and we used to be incredibly unhealthy, but
in 2012 we learned about the way animals are used in our society and
decided to become vegan.

As we started to learn and implement plantbased nutrition, we went through a


dramatic health transformation, with us both becoming sub-3 hour marathon
runners within three years and now we are even trying our hand at bodybuilding!

We believe that eating whole plant foods is the future because it is the only
sustainable diet for the planet and it also leaves us feeling light and full of
energy, while simultaneously keeping us lean and strong.

It is our mission to share the message that a compassionate vegan lifestyle


is best for all; planet, animals and people. We believe that by being shining
examples of health and tness we can inspire others to go on and then inspire
more and more exponentially.

Thank you for becoming part of this journey with us and welcome to the tribe
of t vegans!

Each recipe includes the macros and calories, but feel free to adjust the portion
sizes to suit your goals. All of the dinners are for two people, but if you’re
cooking for one, freeze the other half so that you have handy ‘ready-meals’ for
the following week.

You will notice that the meal plan doesn’t include snacks, just three large meals.
This is because we believe in the health-promoting benets of leaving gaps
between meals to give the body a break from digesting foods.

Without a doubt, you are sure to feel and look amazing by rewarding your body
with these foods!

We hope that you enjoy the 7 day meal plan and making all of our family-favourite
meals. Make sure to tag us in your food pics so we can follow along on your
 journey!

Where Next?

N
ow that you’ve come to the end of your full week of plant-powered eating
there’s no reason why you can’t simply go back to the start and do it all
again! But, once you feel like adding to your repertoire of recipes (how
about the massively popular ‘nice cream’!) or taking your tness goals to the
next level, we have lots more free content on our website and YouTube channels.

This book has focused on the plantbased nutrition ‘Green’ element of our health
and tness trinity which we like to call Slow, Fast, Green. But, the other two
parts cover ‘Slow’ weight training and ‘Fast’ intermittent fasting. To learn more
about these hormonal balancing pursuits please check out our articles and
videos here:
