    Plant Based Diet For Beginners - Alessandro Devante

    Introduction

    Junks and unhealthy foods are one of the major reasons for various health conditions, diseases and obesity. Many animal-based foods and junk meals are highly processed and filled with unneeded calories, saturated fats, added sugars and preservatives that are harmful to your body and general well-being. What we eat or do not eat affects our health and body positively or negatively. In one way or another, diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, cancer and other diseases are related to what we eat.

    A whole food plant-based diet is a healthy diet that focuses on whole, unprocessed or minimally processed plant foods, such as tubers, legumes, whole grains, vegetables and other plant foods, which reduces your susceptibility to having cancer and many other diseases and supports quick weight loss. The plant-based diet cuts back on animal-based foods which is a major source of saturated fat and cholesterol in the omnivore’s diet. The plant-based diet is a great option for you, if you are concerned about the risk of having cancer, if you want to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, if you want to help the planet and you ethically or morally object to eating animals or animal products and if you want to cut down on the carbon footprint of your diet.

    Focusing on whole, unprocessed plant-based foods will help you reverse and improve many health troubles, any autoimmune conditions and excess weight. The plant-based diet is a delicious diet with several new delicacies and plant-based adaptations of the foods you already love. Once you get started on the plant-based diet, your energy level increases, you begin to lose weight and it gets easier as your body gets used to plant-based foods. 

    Plant-Based Diet Kick Start Guide

    Getting started on a plant-based diet can be exciting and a little overwhelming at first. You begin to wonder how to remain on the diet eating only whole and plant-based foods and you are often confronted with the difficulty of figuring out what to eat or not to eat. Perhaps you also want to improve your health by improving your nutrition. Learning to eat a more whole food, plant-based diet will help you become better, be healthier and live longer.

    As with many other diets, it is important that you do not make radical changes on your diet without consulting your doctor, most especially if you have any medical issue or you are getting treatment. The change in diet has an effect on the body and some treatments and medications may need to be changed, or observed within a short period of time.

    Meal Guide

    Figuring what to eat is not so difficult on the plant-based diet: just eat whole and unprocessed plants - it's that simple. There are lots of whole food options to choose from on the plant-based diet. On the plant-based diet you only need to eat the right healthy plant-based foods and you can eat as much as you want. You do not have to count carbs, calories or control your portions.
