A plant-based diet…

A whole-food, plant-based diet is your ticket to the absolute best health possible, inside and out.

So what do we mean when we say – whole-food plant-based diet – anyway?

Simply, a whole-food plant-based diet means the vast majority (90%+) of what you consume on a daily basis comes from whole plant foods.

Let’s break it down:

Whole-Food

Foods that are not refined, they are consumed as they are found in nature (without adding or subtracting from them).

For example, apples vs sugary apple juice.

Plant-Based

Majority, not necessarily all, of the foods consumed (in terms of the percent of calories) come from the plant kingdom instead of the animal kingdom.

For example, beans vs steak or sweet potato cheese vs cow cheese.

Diet

A consumption lifestyle choice: what we eat, NOT the restriction of calories to lose weight.

Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet Must Knows:

A plant-based pantry is geared toward dried-nonperishable items with the intention of combining them with fresh, delicious, whole produce.

The goal is to make meal composition easy and flavorful!

The food that you have on hand should be high in nutrients and ideally be unadulterated, unprocessed and in its most natural whole-food state.

What are the benefits of this delicious diet?

A whole-food plant-based diet has been shown to:

1. Make weight loss easy and effortless (without feeling hungry)
