As the series title suggests, this is a complete idiots guide and it's wonderful! Information accessible to all. Sep 03, Joshua Sears rated it it was amazing Shelves: nutrition-and-health. After we read The China Study we decided to switch to a whole foods, plant-based diet, but it was hard at first to know what to eat to make sure we got all the right nutrients. This book was very helpful in that regard. Now instead of looking at food and just thinking about how it will taste, we also are more conscious about its nutritional properties.
Jan 23, Kimberly Hays de Muga rated it really liked it. Clearly written, well presented argument for, basically, eating more plants instead of heavily processed meat substitutes, dairy, and other unhealthy food. I've already started enjoying some of the recipes and plan to cook more of them. Nov 06, Connie rated it liked it Shelves: nutrition. I am glad to have an understanding of what it means to eat only plants in contrast to other health-focused nutrition.
We're not going to do this in its entirety by any means, but it will definitely color my choices for what I purchase and what I cook from day to day. Just what I was looking for. Lots of good info I recommend this book to everybody.
Julieanna explains everything you need to know. Can't wait to read all her books. Jul 21, Amber rated it really liked it Shelves: cookbooks , books-read-in Wasn't looking to go vegan, but this is helpful in learning about plants and their nutrition values.
The book debunks about certain foods like dairy, soy, etc. I have read numerous books on raw diets in the past, vegetarian, and now plant-based books or videos. I know since I was 18 have started getting acid reflux to name one condition that has stuck with me regardless of taking pills to stop or eliminate the issue in years when really you are relying on these meds that can cause other health related issues.
I know I have been quite un The book debunks about certain foods like dairy, soy, etc. This book is quite informative, and packed with loads of information which I just want a simplified book on plant lifestyle. With that note, I am reading through it quite fast because I've read similar concepts or information in other books, or can be quite a bore when you are trying to get to the gist of it.
Now restaurants had to substitute their salads with green leaf lettuce instead of Romaine but other stores are still selling with disclaimers, yet right now, I will go with cabbage and green leaf salads. I agree with reading the labels--I have became sick from eating foods with vital wheat gluten in vegan meats I've purchased this year and realized it was not the pasteurized eggs but the vegan meat! It took me nearly 10 months to realize this. Sometimes substitutions can do your body worse than better.
Find those hidden ingredients. We get fooled with casein seen in vegan so called products, which is a milk protein and sugars using chemical names instead. We are also fooled by the term "natural" it is best to go with "organic"! Overall, the book was okay. View 1 comment. As with Healthspan also by Cronise this book is science heavy, which the geek in me really loves. Fear of soy is irrational and traces directly back to the Weston A.
Price Foundation, whose mission statement used to include that they were trying to get people to eat more animal products. From the publisher - Packed with 45 recipes and a wealth of information on the most nutrient-dense foods, genuine supplement needs, and more, this helpful guide gives you everything you need to know about the advantages of a plant-based diet. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore, what you eat affects your well-being.
And the science shows that a diet rich in whole, plant-based foods can help your body thrive. In fact, a growing number of physicians advocate a completely plant-based diet for many of their patients who suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Getting your nutrition from plant-based foods is one of the best things you can do for yourself--and it's easier than you might think! Oh, how I loved this book I was so excited to be approved that I stayed up until 2 am and finished it last night!!
There are so many fabulous, easy ways to incorporate nutritious foods into your diet that are chock full of good stuff. You don't have to go or be vegan to enjoy this book, anyone and I mean anyone can get something from reading it and going on the road to a healthier life. The authors kept the information pretty basic--what you need to know to eat healthy in a practical sense rather than lots of scientific discussions.
The authors talked about why a whole-food, plant-based diet is desirable, the nutrition you need protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and how it's generally easy to meet the minimum require "Plant-Based Nutrition" provides the basic information needed to understand the benefits of eating a whole-food, plant-based diet and how to do it.
The authors talked about why a whole-food, plant-based diet is desirable, the nutrition you need protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and how it's generally easy to meet the minimum requirements from whole, plant foods. They talked about what supplements you might need to take and which do more harm than good.
They talked about dietary guidelines, nutrition myths and controversies obviously just the most common ones , understanding nutrition claims on products at the store and how to shop successfully. They described the benefits of exercise and some basics about length and types of exercise. They talked about special nutrition considerations during pregnancy and for babies, children, seniors, athletes, and weight loss.
They covered how a whole food, plant-based diet helps heal chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and more. They provided tips for eating out at restaurants, for the holidays and such, and information on how to convert recipes to animal-product-free versions with dairy, egg, meat, oil substitutes.
Then we got 45 recipes from various people. In general, they seemed to serve about 4 people and didn't look too complicated. Overall, this book is a good resource if you want basic information about a whole-food, plant-based diet. I received a free ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
If you are making an idiot's guide to plant-based nutrition, the single most important obstacle is going to be the food. You can't make this a lifestyle with a handful of mediocre recipes. This has 45 of them, which sounds like a lot until you break it into a section on smoothies really? I'm not hosting a 6-course meal for Martha Stewart. Just give me some friggin grub to eat. This comes up short. I got this because of Ray Cronise's name on it.
If you don't know him, he's the mastermind behind Penn Jillette's weight loss. I followed it based on what I could figure out from Penn's book and dropped 80 lbs myself. I did it with 31 vegetable recipes I found.
I had more practical recipes than this did. And among the 15 "main" dishes in this, you had plenty with grains, which I believe Penn said he did not eat while dropping weight.
One dish had calories, which was about 2 entire meals for me. I wanted to drop another 15 and was hoping to get 45 great recipes since I was getting bored with mine. This was a big-time fail. The knowledge was good, but the food is boring. Vegetarians never seem to get that aspect. When I find cookbooks, they are full of processed garbage or fake meat-wanna-be food.
Vegetarian sausage is as absurd as calling a hot dog a meat cucumber. If you are going to eat vegetables, then own it. The message I get is that it is a great way for rapid weight loss but not a practical lifestyle.
Your mileage may vary, but ultimately, I was really sad when I went through the recipes and returned the book. Good but not always completely clear When I say not completely clear, I mean it in a couple ways. I felt like this would have helped, especially given how much of their advice is somewhat unconventional.
Aug 29, Danielle rated it really liked it Shelves: cookbooks. This book is hands down the BEST guide to plant-based nutrition! It is extremely lengthy, but well written and incredibly informative. I follow a plant-based lifestyle and am familiar with a lot of the topics that were discussed but it was nice to be able to read about them more in-depth.
I was very impressed by the Pregnancy and Beyond section as that's something not discussed much in the plant-based world, but yet so important.
There is also a large section on Athletes which I found helpful for my husband. Oh and of course, this book includes lots of delicious recipes from Julieanna! I had the pleasure of hearing her speak at a Food Is Medicine conference last year and she was spectacular! Julieanna is incredibly friendly and energetic--her passion for plant-based eating shines through her personality and everything she does. The only thing that could make this book better would be photographs of the recipes, as my husband usually judges what we cook based on what the final dish looks like.
However, all opinions are my own. I like how this is focused on the science behind the nutrition instead of relying on emotional dialogue. The medical journal paper referenced in the book is a good companion piece to the book if you are interested in the actual measurements.
If the book were complete to include these things I would be able to give it a 5. If I only had this book to go on and hadn I like how this is focused on the science behind the nutrition instead of relying on emotional dialogue.
If I only had this book to go on and hadn't read the references I think it would feel incomplete. This is coming from a long-time plant based eater though so I'm probably outside of the target audience.
It's a good intro and included some ideas and data that I hadn't thought about yet too. I'm super analytical and skeptical so I really need all of the hows and whys before I buy in to a conclusion- this book kind of skips along the surface- but again- if it had gone deeper it would have likely lost most of the intended audience so if you need it- download a copy of the paper published in the medical journal.
DK has published a very scientific view of following a plant-based diet, and outlines all of the benefits and nutritional information associated. Though the book was very thorough and full of facts, the eARC was lacking in the magnificent photographs and other illustrations for which DK is famous. Also includes chapters on supplements, fitness, plant-based pregnancy, raising children, feeding seniors nutritionally, meat replacements and a few recipes. A great, factual, unemotional reference for following a plant based diet.
Mar 13, Jean rated it it was amazing. Plant based diet is supported by research and sound reasoning. However, no one ever adequately explained how it happens. Hever s explains it very well, succinctly, and in an easy was to grasp the concept.
This is a lifestyle that is doable for me. I have made such attempts Plant based diet is supported by research and sound reasoning. I have made such attempts, even made it for two years. However, it was always a struggle and challenge. I have been implementing these ideas for three weeks now. It has been so much easier to do and I started feeling better within two days. Jun 25, Mel rated it it was amazing Shelves: non-fiction , lifestyle. I came across this book after listening to the authors on the Rich Roll podcast.
It was a lot of science to digest, but personally that is exactly what I need to fully buy into a concept. I wish I had bought it as a paperback instead of on kindle as it will act as a reference book that I need to go back to again and again. There a I came across this book after listening to the authors on the Rich Roll podcast.
There are also specialist sections for athletes, pregnancy, how to raise children on a plant based diet, etc. I plan on buying the paperback version of this book my current is an ebook from Netgalley for myself and for a couple of my friends.
