A cookbook of 100+ delicious recipes focusing on the pegan diet--the anti-inflammatory eating philosophy that celebrates whole, plant-based foods; limiting added sugar intake; ramping up on vegetables; and eating a diet high in fiber. A whole foods approach to eating helps provide the body with necessary vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and phytonutrients. But which whole foods approach to eating is the best? The answer varies from person to person, but the best place to start for a balanced, anti-inflammatory approach to eating is with the pegan diet , an eating philosophy created by physician and New York Times best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman. A pegan diet is a hybrid of two very popular styles of eating, the paleo diet and the vegan diet. The basic principles from the pegan diet focus on: Unlimited fruits and vegetables Whole foods that are minimally processed Small amounts of gluten-free grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds Small amounts of meat and eggs No added sugar / No gluten / No dairy Unlike the paleo and vegan diets on their own, the pegan philosophy is less restrictive , so it can easily be followed for life (and with pleasure!). Inside, you'll find more than 100 pegan recipes for every meal of the day , and snacks and desserts too, including recipes such as: Sheet Pan Butternut Squash Hash Rainbow Chard Breakfast Bowl Chia Seed Power Crackers Avocado Deviled Eggs Tomato Basil Soup Chickpea Curry Salmon Artichoke Skewers Turkey Sweet Potato Chili Kale Taco Salad Pesto Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Tomatoes Almond Berry Cobbler Hazelnut Truffles Make healthy eating feel like a treat instead of a chore with The Beginner's Pegan Diet Cookbook.
