Why eating more plants will boost your health (and help you lose the weight for good)
Studies have shown those who embrace a plant based diet require fewer medications and enjoy a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more. And lest we forget, plant-based diets are not only healthier for people, but also healthier for our planet — boosting human lifespans and cutting harmful emissions in the process.
But hey, let’s be honest here: sometimes weight loss is the key motivator to a lifestyle change, and that's OK!
There's nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight if it relates to your healthier lifestyle goals! We all want to look and feel our best, and given that obesity contributes directly to an entire host of health concerns (even life-threatening ones), dropping a few pounds — if you’re overweight — is an all-around good decision for your health.
Unfortunately, losing weight can sometimes be a real hassle. The good news is that with the whole-food plant based diet, it doesn’t have to be.
Whole, plant based foods make losing weight a heckuva lot easier than any fad diet. Whole plant-based foods are naturally low in calories and fat, filled with fiber, and nutrient dense- all of which lead to healthy, natural weight loss.
Ready to get started? We've got 5 easy plant-based recipes for visible weight loss. These recipes are fiber packed, low in fat, and incredibly filling (yep, no deprivation here!).
