Are you planning to change your eating habits or make small changes in your diet? If so, keep reading! Following a plant-based diet, meaning eating only plant-based food, can have a wide variety of health benefits for the body.

A plant-based diet consists of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes (beans), nuts and seeds, cereals, potatoes, and other plant-based foods. Such a diet can be low in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. This diet has nutritional benefits for your heart health because it can help reduce blood pressure and risk of heart disease due to the high content of fiber in plant-based foods. In addition, plant-based foods are rich in phytonutrients that may protect against certain cancers.

A plant-based diet may also help with weight loss. The diet is high in fiber, which can be very filling and help you feel full for a longer period of time. This can continue to aid in weight loss by keeping you from overeating which may have negative effects on your body. Plant-based foods are also low in calories, making it easy to keep your weight under control. Plant-based foods also contain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that offer some type of benefit to the body.

A plant-based diet can help lessen your risk of disease in many ways, including reducing your body's risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers and diabetes. A plant-based diet can also help reduce your risk of obesity and heart disease. A plant-based diet could lessen your risk of some cancers, including lung cancer and breast cancer.

Gaining weight is a common problem in the United States. More than a third of Americans are obese, which is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) that exceeds 30 (for adults). Obesity may increase your risk of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke. If you are overweight, you can help reduce this risk by making changes to your eating and exercise habits.

The top reason why people fail to lose weight is that they have unrealistic and unhealthy expectations about how their bodies will respond. A healthy diet and regular exercise is one thing, but a healthy body comes from good nutrition, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. As a whole, you need to eat foods that provide a balance of vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, and protein. Your body will then use these nutrients for growth and repair.

A plant-based diet is easy to follow because you won't have to worry about including foods that are high in fat or cholesterol or have too much salt. Plant-based foods often contain little or no saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, or animal protein. Foods that are high in sodium may cause water retention and contribute to weight gain. Also, an insufficient intake of dietary fiber will also lead to excess weight; increasing your intake of fiber can help you lose weight.

In this book I will give you guidelines on how to change your eating habits to follow a plant-based diet in order to help you have a healthy body, lose weight or maintain your current weight and reduce your risk of certain diseases.
