Reinvent your diet, take control of your health, and live a better life with a flexible and sustainable plant-based diet solution.
For anyone looking to enhance energy, prevent disease, and reduce stress, nutritionist and wellness expert Julie Wilcox provides a flexible and delicious plant-based solution in her rigorously researched book, The Win-Win Diet . Wilcox offers an actionable guide to four eating patterns that allow readers to choose the approach that’s best for flexitarian, pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan. It’s ideal for the meat eater looking for a gentle path to more mindful eating, the person who eats only plant-sourced foods, and everyone in between. Featuring ninety-five perfected recipes and sample meal plans for each eating pattern, The Win-Win Diet presents a sustainable approach to enjoying meals that will help you become fit and feel great—for life.
This book teaches you how to be more plant based and still eat what you love. The author's suggestion is to approach it gradually, which is her methodology, so it is not difficult and more sustainable. This approach is unlike the many fad diets where you do it for a few days, a week, or a month. It is a plan you can do for life as long as you go through the transitional periods, the exercises, and the assessments to ensure your body responds positively.
Half of the book has amazing, delicious-sounding recipes organized by category. The four eating patterns discussed in the book are associated with enhanced energy, sleep, immunity, strength, and mood. They all reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, from type 2 diabetes to obesity, autoimmune disease, cognitive disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. The health benefits are myriad. Then, of course, you are also doing a service to the environment and animal welfare.
I knew many of the different eating patterns. But I also learned about being a flexitarian, which allows for some amounts of meat, dairy, and eggs. The idea is to reduce the amount of meat you eat and make better choices about the quality.
