Synopsis
Become your healthiest self by eating at least 30 different plant foods per week, with this gut-loving guide to plant-based eating "Eat your fruits and vegetables" is a familiar piece of nutrition advice--but what makes centering plants in your diet so important? Dietitian and nutritionist Dr. Megan Rossi is here to explain why plant-based eating (PBE) is a simple yet revolutionary change that anyone can make to enjoy huge health benefits. All it takes is eating 30 different types of plant foods per week--or getting 30 "plant points," as Dr. Rossi calls them
How to Eat More Plants is science-backed, delicious, and sustainable, and it's proven to help increase energy, boost mood, regulate digestion, maintain a healthy weight, and reduce risk of chronic disease. It's also not just for vegans and vegetarians--anyone can incorporate more plants into their diet, whether they're completely vegan, trying out "meatless Mondays," or making sure to cook up some veggies and legumes alongside their steak. Everyone will feel empowered to make PBE a bigger part of their life with the 28-Day Plant Points Challenge, which challenges you to eat 30 plant points each week for just 4 weeks. Participating in the challenge will make you realize that plant points are everywhere--even seasoning a dish with an herb or spice counts for a quarter of a point.
How to Eat More Plants teaches PBE from the ground up, explaining why it's beneficial (just one reason: our gut microbiota love the fiber that plants provide, which affects everything from your immunity to your brain function) and how to cultivate a diverse diet that hits your plant point goal each week (tips include topping your oatmeal with fruit, adding sprouted seeds to your sandwich, and subscribing to a local produce delivery box).
All this info and more is presented in handy charts, lists, and graphics that make the facts easy to understand while digging into powerful aspects of plants we might take for granted. Did you know that a simple apple includes catechin--which has been found to reduce muscle fatigue--and dopamine, also known as the "feel good" chemical? Dr. Rossi always keeps the science behind PBE applicable to readers' lives, laying out all the reasons why plants boost well-being in every area--and busting myths that might be holding people back, like weight-gain worries or fears about protein deficiency.
After learning the whys and hows of a plant-based diet, it's time to cook up over 80 mouthwatering recipes for every meal--including delicious dishes like Crispy Bacon-Shrooms with Creamy Butter Bean Hummus, Loaded Melon Wedges, Popcorn Chick-Less Nuggets, Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Super Pesto, and Raspberry and Lemon Ricotta Baked Cheesecake. There are also special meal plans for families, busy people, and people with sensitive stomachs, alongside tips for gradually transitioning to PBE.
With How to Eat More Plants, anyone can accept the challenge to start living their best, plant-based life
