Publisher's Synopsis
In her debut cookbook, Mostly Plant-Based, Registered Dietitian Mia Syn helps you effortlessly transition to a plant-forward way of eating. Mia shows you a realistic and sustainable way to reboot your health, lose weight, and feel your best without having to exclude all animal-based foods. Mostly Plant-Based features 100 recipes, all made with 10 ingredients or less, plus a 21-day meal plan to jump-start healthy eating. All of Mia's recipes are accompanied by full-color photos and can be customized to exclude or include meat and dairy according to your preferences. With an evidence-based approach and appealing recipes for everyday meals, Mostly Plant-Based will help turn the pickiest eaters into veggie lovers. A plant-forward approach to eating does away with the extremes of traditional diets. Instead of ruling out entire food groups, it encourages eating more plant-based foods and fewer animal foods, putting vegetables, fruits, and whole grains at the center of your plate. You can still enjoy meat, eggs, and dairy with some meals, or even with every meal; the focus is on controlling portions of these foods so that they serve as enhancements rather than being the stars of the show. This flexibility makes it easy to adhere to and much more sustainable than other, more restrictive dietary approaches. With its proven track record for promoting weight loss, improving heart health, and bettering overall health, plant-forward eating sets you up for long-term success. Plant-forward is not an identity; it is a model for health that allows you to make informed food choices and tailor a nutritional plan to your lifestyle and your wellness goals.
