Product Description

Book Description

The healthy vegan diet-made easy.

Vegans face their own special challenges when it comes to nutrition and this book provides answers. There are about one million vegans in the U.S. and about 50,000 new ones every year. A growing number of physicians advocate a completely plant-based diet for many of their patients who suffer from diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. In The Complete Idiot's Guide(r) to Plant-Based Nutrition, readers will find:

? Where to get nutrients that others get from meat and dairy.

? How to avoid the vegan pitfall of overfed but undernourished.

? How to spot hidden animal ingredients in packaged foods.

? Tips for eating at restaurants.

? Special considerations for children and seniors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book, April 15 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition (Paperback)
I love nutrition. It is my passion. I've read a lot of material and listened to a lot of lectures on this topic. This book does an amazing job at laying a solid foundation to understand how to make the switch to a plant-based diet healthfully. The author has made it easy to understand and non-intimidating. I whole-heartedly recommend it!

I respectfully disagree with the previous review. I've seen Forks Over Knives and I *totally* recommend it - I thought it was wonderful, but I in no way think that it diminishes the value of this book. This book takes the reader through step by step in depth for the "how to" part. This is a registered dietitian who has worked with pretty much every expert in that film. She offers additional necessary fundamental in depth nutritional information that partners beautifully with the movie. So, I whole-heartedly recommend both! :0)

All the best on your journey!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, but Forks Over Knives is better, Feb 15 2012
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition (Paperback)
I bought this at the same time as Forks Over Knives, basically on the FOK website's endorsement and other US-buyers' reviews.

But I found that the content and recipes of FOK is far better than TCIGTPBN.

Very disappointed with my purchase. Wish I could send it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different then the rest...., Aug 5 2011

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition (Paperback)
I love this book! I love the recipes! I like how it is different from all the other "vegan" books out there; it is a step up. Instead of being called a vegan book it is a "whole-food plant-based" how to book. Vegan books usually contain lots of oil, sugar, salt and mock meats...Julieanna explains why all of these "anti-nutrients" are not good for you and how to get around using them in fun and delicious ways. I love the whole concept of the book. Great job Julieanna! She is an inspiration to me because I was a vegan for five years and fell off the wagon for cheese and now I am back on, thanks to her passion. This book reminded me all of the reasons I went plant-based five years ago and I will be giving this book to loved-ones as a reference because it explains everything you will ever need to know about being an herbivore!

5.0 out of 5 stars Plant Based Nutrition, Aug 4 2011
By Howard Pomeroy - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition (Paperback)
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant Based Nutrition, by Julieanna Hever is a beautifully written work which explains the importance of healthy eating. The book is designed for people who know little about plant based nutrition, and for those who are fully knowledgeable. The book may be read cover to cover or the reader can pick out items from the Table of Contents which may be of particular interest to them. I went directly to the Super Snacks (wouldn't you just know it?) chapter and really look forward to trying some of those treats. I then turned to the Super Seniors chapter because living a long and healthy life is right about where I am. Every reader will find much of interest in terms what makes us healthy and what drags us down.
Even though the title of this series of books (Idiot's Guide) would lead one to think this book is for the un or undereducated person, it is not. Mrs. Hever has done a wonderful job of presenting evidence to back up all of her positions on diet and health. In Appendix C, she provides nutrition charts which are a scholarly look at the facts regarding plant based nutrition. Anyone who has ever wondered how we really get our protein, or how many vitamins we really need, or what happens to us as we get older will find the answers clearly explained in this book. When you finish reading it you will be very well informed indeed on how to improve your total life style, and just feel better about yourself and how you provide for your family nutritionally speaking. Buy it today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!!, Aug 6 2011
By R. Greenberg - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition (Paperback)
I bought this book for my wife who is a vegetarian but I felt was not getting a good, broadbased diet with all the nutrients that she needed. This book will teach vegetarians how to eat a healthy diet which is not lacking in required nutrients. I am cutting back on animal products too and this book is so helpful. A must read for any new or existing vegetarians or vegans, or anyone else who would like to explore a plant based diet. Wonderfully written and easy to follow.
