Easing Into Whole Food Plant Based

A vegan diet says what is off the plate; a whole-food plant-based pattern says something about what is on it. The idea is simple: build most meals from foods that still look like what they were — grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and seeds — and lean less on heavily processed products, even the vegan ones. Fries and packaged snacks are vegan; a whole-food plant-based pattern just asks that they play a supporting role rather than the lead.
