Good ideas. I would like to incorporate this into my current meal prep. I'm not interested in going vegan but there would some great ideas.
I mean. I agree with 98% of what this book is saying. BUT the science is a little overblown, just like in that What the Health "documentary", you can have an opinion but you can't skew actual research in order to support that opinion.
I would like to read the version of this book that says "I eat vegan because blank blank blank but science has shown that even switching to a mostly meatless, but not completely vegan, plant based diet will still give you all the health benefits we're talking about." Without the preachy stuff.
And I still can't figure out why the hate for olive oil.

Obsessively zealous in their promotion, repetive and somewhat condescending; preaching to the lowest common denominator of understanding. Some fascinating combinations, tasty and nutritous, loved many of the recipes.

Interesting info on nutrition and the recipes seem reasonable. I'm not planning to switch to this way of eating, but I like options.
Good info. A four week intro. Changing breakfast one week, then lunch, etc. recipes were simple but I don’t think anything special. You could easily find some variation on Pinterest. A good source of info for those exploring a plant based diet lifestyle
This book was an immense help to me when I stopped consuming animal products seven years ago. Since then, I've recommended it to many others on the same path. Very straight-forward and practical. There’s also many tasty recipes including at the end. I recommend watching the full documentary "Forks over knives" before reading this book.
I am constantly looking for vegan and wheat free recipes for my family and I picked this one up at the library to see what they were like.
I ended up reading the whole book out of a current interest in switching to a more plant based diet myself.
I would say that this is a rather extreme lifestyle change. Especially if you are transitioning from a typical North American food experience. I have seen it done successfully, as I have family who did it and are still going strong 5 years later.
As I get older and start paying more attention to where my food comes from and learn how our food mono culture is not healthy, realize just how terrible processed foods are, and just how much advertising and lobbyists have shaped my food views.....I think I need to make some changes. While I do not feel the need to be quite this restrictive, I do like the premise and I will start making changes to more whole foods and more veggies.
I would also recommend [b:How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease|25663961|How Not to Die Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease|Michael Greger|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1436292289l/25663961._SY75_.jpg|45486853] as a book with a more scientific bent and not quite the same agenda.
And I found the recipes in this book to be lackluster. I realize they were aiming for simple and easy but I was not inclined to try any of them.
