What’s Up With A Plant Based Diet?

Many of you know I eat a whole food plant based diet and have asked for some resources to look into and get a feel for how that would work in your life. Yay You!

I’ve gathered up some of my favorite videos to help get you started:

Forks over Knives

If you are interested at all in moving towards plant based diet, I highly suggest watching the documentary Forks over Knives. Here is their website: http://www.forksoverknives.com/

There are so many documentaries similar to this. If you google “plant based documentaries” you’ll find several lists. You can probably find many of themat your local library or on Netflix.

Also, if you go to Youtube and search for plant based diet, there is a lot of info.

My favorite authorities on this subject are:

Dr. Neal Barnard  –love this-  “Breaking the Food Seduction”

Dr. McDougall

Dr. Furman

Dr. T. Collin Campbell   author of “The China Study”

Dr Caldwell Esselstyne

Rip Esselstyne author of “The Engine 2 Diet”

Juliana Hever –author of “The Idiot’s guide to Plant Based Nutrition”

Juliana has a great 9 min Tedtalk here:

That’s the talk I wish I would have written and given. *smile* She also has many videos (short cooking demos) on YouTube with Chef AJ, called “The Chef and the Dietitian”.

You can also do a search for plant based nutrition BLOGS –there are many with great recipes and ideas!

I will list some of my favorite plant based recipe blogs in an upcoming blog post.
