Synopsis
Recipes, shopping lists, dining-out tips, and more for anyone from vegans to omnivores: &“Makes the transition to a plant-powered lifestyle simple.&” —Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet You can harness the power of whole-plant foods to lead a long and vibrant life—whether you&’re vegan, vegetarian, or omnivorous. Numerous studies indicate that by eating whole, minimally processed plant foods, humans can gain protection—against everyday illness, diabetes, obesity, depression, mental decline, heart disease, and even cancer. In The Plant-Powered Diet, registered dietitian Sharon Palmer marshals the most up-to-date findings in nutrition to explain why—and how—you should fill more of your plate with whole-plant foods. This guide includes: • Essential information on the healthiest plant foods—whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and even herbs, spices, chocolate, coffee, tea, and wine • Advice for navigating the supermarket, kitchen, restaurant menus, on-the-go meals, exercise, and more • A fourteen-day meal plan, plus daily action alerts to get you started • Seventy-five original plant-based recipes for every meal—all with complete nutritional data The Plant-Powered Diet is not a diet you&’ll go &“on&” today and &“off&” tomorrow. It&’s a simple, satisfying, and thoroughly delicious way of eating that can not only last your lifetime—but lengthen it. &“This book, which is based on compelling scientific evidence, will help you find your own plant-based eating style that&’s healthy, sustainable, and delicious.&” —Cheryl Forberg, RD, James Beard Award–winning chef, New York Times–bestselling author, and original nutritionist for NBC&’s The Biggest Loser
