Plant Based Diet Recipes

Your Latin encoded text: You might have heard of the "The plant-based diet" but you're not sure what it means. A plant based diet in general is a lifestyle that focuses on the benefits of plants, specifically vegetables. Many people adopting this lifestyle believe that eating more plants will lead to improved health and well-being. With this in mind they eliminate or reduce all animal products (meat, poultry, eggs). They may also eliminate or reduce processed foods like sugar and refined white flour. They eat whole grains (like brown rice), beans and legumes (e.g., black beans), vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts instead of these animal products and processed foods to get their protein intake from protein rich plant sources such as soy. Eating more plants is the key here. The plant-based diet is not a vegetarian diet. On the plant based diet plant foods are centered on the plate while less than 10% of the plate consists of meat or non-plant foods like dairy products and eggs. Vegetarian diets are very similar to this, except that they allow for animal products which may be used only as a condiment or smaller side dish. Following a vegetarian diet for example, eating one cow-milk yogurt would mean that you are no longer following a vegetarian diet but that you have reverted back to an omnivore or "all things" kind of diet.

They also avoid any foods that are not plant-based (they may exclude refined white flour) as well as trans-fat and processed foods. The standard "vegetarian" is understood to be a vegan with an 'inclusive' addition (e.g., honey or animal products such as milk).
