Forks over Knives was a real eye opener for me.
When I became a vegetarian, it was ‘by accident.’ One day I realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I had meat and that I was, indeed, a vegetarian. I was listening to my body’s cues and eating what I needed and am now on my way to becoming a vegan.
Forks over Knives is scientifically based. They have done the research and that shows the healthy benefits of following a plant based diet and have also dispelled many popular myths. We don’t need meat to get protein and we don’t need dairy for calcium. In fact, making other dietary changes can result in our bodies processing plant based protein and calcium in healthier ways.
The book contains a 4 week meal by meal makeover that can help anyone transition to a plant based diet in a delicious and healthy way. Whether you are ready to go in 100{80aa08cd1591a69daf2c4c354f40b4c82aa989aee5ead2df0fd7028e5eba6bba} or just want to cut down on animal sourced ingredients, this book is a helpful resource that can improve your health.
