THE PEGAN DIET COOKBOOK: Healthy Pegan Diet Recipes for Eating Well And Healing The Body

by Maya Walker

The “pegan” diet is a hybrid, combining the paleo diet -- which focuses on whole foods that might have been hunted or gathered, like fruits, veggies, meats, and nuts -- and the vegan diet, in which you eat only plant-based foods. The principle is a nutrient-rich diet that consists of about 75% plant-based foods, with the remaining 25% of your nutrition from animal sources. It stresses eating whole, fresh foods that are sustainably produced, with limited effects on the environment. The diet also limits processed foods. Despite its name, it is unique and has its own set of guidelines. In fact, it’s less restrictive than either a paleo or vegan diet by itself.

But many agree that a plant-based diet that focuses on fruits and veggies that are high in fiber and low in starch can boost your overall health and lower your risk of certain diseases. Some studies show that plant-based diets can lower weight and reduce bad cholesterol in your body. Although most grains and legumes are discouraged on the pegan diet due to their potential to influence blood sugar, some gluten-free whole grains and legumes are permitted in limited quantities.

About the author

Maya Walker doodles flowers in red ink on cream colored paper and stares at blank documents for hours before writing a word. She dreams of dark alleyways and thunderstorms blooming soaked umbrellas while curled in uncomfortable positions with her few stuffed animals. Maya is a writer, a reader, a chef, an artist, a violinist, a mandolinist, and many more things she cannot explain. You can find Maya writing on the red chair in the corner of her room or playing with her bunny, Kiki.
