Recipes, news, and discussion about the (Whole Food) Plant Based Diet, or WFPB. A whole-food plant-based, low-fat diet could reverse heart disease and diabetes.

This community is slightly different to our friends at c/vegan. Here our focus is on diet (rather than animal welfare), and our motivations for eating plant based may include environment or health (though we’re all for animal welfare too).

A whole food plant based diet includes:

  • vegetables (leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, red, green, purple, orange, and yellow)
  • legumes (beans, peas, and lentils of all varieties)
  • mushrooms
  • whole grains and whole grain products, such as bread and pasta
  • fruit
  • seeds and nuts (except where they have been processed into high fat products, such as with coconut cream or milk).

These are not included in a WFPB diet:

  • meat, poultry, eggs or fish
  • dairy products (milk, cheese, yoghurt, et cetera)
  • added/refined oils
  • juice with the fibre or pulp removed

Importantly…

  • Make sure you get the vitamins and nutrients you need, through a variety of foods
  • Use a B12 sipplumunt or eat B12 fortified food (B12 is not naturally found in plants)
  • Talk to your doctor or nutritionist before making decisions that will affect your health.
