The Pegan Diet

21 Practical Principles for Reclaiming Your Health in a Nutritionally Confusing World

By: Mark Hyman MD MD

Narrated by: Mark Hyman MD MD

Twelve-time New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman, MD, presents his unique Pegan diet—including meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists.

For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible—both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way!

Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet's food-is-medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet.

Featuring thirty recipes and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy—for life.

Every American needs to read this.

I have been a follower of Dr. Hyman for quite some time. This book covers all of the basics he discusses frequently in his podcast. So it might not be a necessary read for those of us who already follow these guidelines, but it is a must read for the majority of Americans who could use some help with their diet and nutrition.

Excellent

overall excellent book and review of nutritional literature and dietary principles. Definitely worth the time and money.

Best diet book!

Get the audiobook and listen over and over. The Standard American diet is making us sick and killing us not so slowly. Fight back!!!!
