In the second edition of The Way of The Vegan Meathead, champion powerlifter Daniel Austin demolishes the mass of lies you’ve heard about the “difficulties” of building strength on a vegan diet. He’ll show you how eating to become a Vegan Beast is easier than you ever thought it could be.

After going vegan in 2005, Daniel has gone from being the stereotypically “skinny vegan” to winning competition medals on national and international platforms, continuing to hone greater strength year after year, proving that veganism is no impediment to fitness – so long as you know how to build your diet in accordance with your goals.

With an hour-by-hour, calorie-by-calorie meal plan that comfortably overshoots protein requirements for strength athletes, The Way of The Vegan Meathead will have you poised to achieve new personal records and leaner body composition in no time. Packed from cover to cover with seemingly unconventional yet easily digestible expertise regarding nutrition, supplementation, and ample doses of motivational shit-talking, this book will drag you by the collar to meet your new, stronger self. You’re welcome.

I went into this book hoping for a practical, evidence-based guide to thriving and building strength on a plant-based diet. Unfortunately, it falls short in almost every way.

This book is a manifesto wrapped in gym bravado with little to no nutritional science to back its claims. It reads as a no-nonsense guide to smashing stereotypes about 'weak vegans' with a tone that is both aggressive and motivational, something which the reader/listener may actually enjoy; however, every chapter ultimately substitutes swagger for any real substance.

The core advice? Overshoot protein targets and lean heavily on convenience foods like mock meats, powders and supplements. While Austin admits these aren't ideal for long-term health, he brushes this off bluntly under the mantra of 'do whatever it takes to be strong' - a dangerous oversimplification for anyone actually concerned about long-term health. Daniel Austin’s approach boils down to: “Eat processed junk, hit your macros, and don’t worry about the consequences.”

This book proves that saying something with enough confidence can make it sound correct—even when it’s complete nonsense.
