Get healthy, lose weight, and feel great on a plant-based
diet
The benefits of a plant-based diet have been publicized far and
wide, and you can no longer deny it–you’re fully ready to
experience the health benefits of this lifestyle. Plant-Based
Diet For Dummies has been created to help even the most
stubborn carnivores adapt to and even learn to find joy in a
plant-based diet. Besides providing useful tips, delicious recipes,
and meal ideas, this lively resource discusses all you have to gain
from adopting healthier eating habits, including a decreased risk
for cancer, a lower risk of heart disease and stroke, a lower
cholesterol count and blood pressure, and a lower risk, and
prevention, of diabetes. A meat-free lifestyle has many benefits
for your body, and author Marni Wasserman takes you on a journey of
discovery into the exciting world of fruits, vegetables, and other
nutrient-rich foods.
A plant-based diet, while similar to vegetarian and vegan diets,
is different in that it allows an individual to experience the
benefits of vegetarianism without focusing on the politics of a
meat-free lifestyle. This book takes the mystery out of adopting
better food habits and making better meal choices. It shows you how
to stock your kitchen, cook fantastic meals, and discover the
wealth of delicious ingredients at your fingertips.
