Overview

Do you want to eat healthier food and to achieve your weight loss goals? A plant-based diet can help you with both! Our goal is not to convert people who are not already interested in being vegan but instead to share the health benefits of eating this way with those who may have considered it but were hesitant about starting. A plant-based diet has been associated with various health benefits due to the increased consumption of whole grains and vegetables over animal products such as meat. Plant-based diets can reduce the risk of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Benefits for a plant-based diet may come from increased fiber intake and decreased consumption of saturated fats. A plant-based diet is a method of eating that attempts to exclude all animal products produced on an industrial scale (i.e., meat, eggs, dairy) while maximizing the variety of minimally processed plant foods available in modern Western society as part of a balanced diet. It is sometimes described as a diet based on vegetables, fruits, grains, or pulses. Generally, the types of vegetable foods eaten depend on the particular variety of religious/cultural beliefs, region, and personal preference. This type of diet can reduce obesity risk because meat contains high levels of saturated fat, whereas plant foods generally contain little or none. Additionally, a plant-based diet increases intake of fiber, vitamins C and E, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, phytochemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids, and many other nutrients that are essential to health. A plant-based diet is usually higher in dietary fiber and lower in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and added sugar than a no vegetarian diet. These nutritional characteristics are associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases common in Western countries. A plant-based diet may also help to prevent or treat certain conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and osteoporosis. In the Western world, a plant-based diet is traditionally associated with vegetarianism, but more recently has been promoted as a more humane alternative by advocates and as a way to reduce animal suffering by proponents of animal rights. If you want to have a healthy and long life and want to be healthy, lose weight, improve your digestion and have a better quality of life, you must follow a plant-based diet. You don't need to be a complete vegetarian but try to take more plant foods. The book is a great guide to help you start eating healthier. It goes through the benefits of a plant-based diet, what foods to eat, why you should eat more fruits and vegetables and even the benefits of raw foods. The book then discusses cooking for a plant-based diet and some of the ways that you can take your food to another level. This book is a great guide to head off towards a plant-based lifestyle. .
