A whole food plant-based diet, sometimes called a "vegan diet", is a vegetarian diet that focuses entirely on fresh, whole foods that are primarily made up of mostly plants.
This includes fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes (black beans, kidney beans, etc.
), seeds, nuts, and whole grains.The biggest problem for most people when they go on a whole food plant-based diet is simply the fact that they do not get enough fruits and vegetables in their daily diets.
There are a lot of different reasons for this, such as busy lives, limited time to prepare foods, and so on.
Many plant foods are actually higher in nutrients and lower in toxins than even some of the most highly processed foods available today.
Therefore, it is very important that you ensure that you take in a variety of whole foods to keep your body healthy.The best way to make sure that you are getting enough nutrients is to make sure that you include plenty of whole food plant based recipes in your diet.
