Plant-Powered Diet

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
