Vegetarian or Vegan Transition

“Vegetarian” and “vegan” are no longer the strange concepts they once were. With the recent popularity of several revealing food industry documentaries — such as Forks Over Knives and Food Inc. — plant-based diets are getting a lot of extra attention.

This is great — but it’s also not as simple as just cutting out meat. A diet of bread, GMO foods, and processed soy junk foods is not going to support you!

That’s where this package really shines: by helping you make the transition properly. My goal is to help you make the best choices possible — based on up-to-date science.

Why go green?

A wise puppet once said, “It’s not easy being green.” So why bother?

• Vegetarians generally have lower blood pressure than non-vegetarians
• A diet based on vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains is also low in fat and sugar
• A vegetarian diet can help blood sugar levels and reduce the need for certain medications
• Vegetarians have a lower death rate from cancers — from half to three quarters that of the general population (source: Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine)
• Remember, change is about progress, not perfection. This is a great package if you are looking to make a savvy switch and find your veg edge!
