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.

Awakened!

I loved this engaging and simple way to consume vital information to be healthy. It is extremely inspiring to heal my body and share this important message. My inner chef is awakened. I'm passionate to heal and live a vibrant life. Thank you for this intimate and educational journey that I'll carry for a lifetime. Mark, you are truly an inspiration. -April

Informative and Balanced

This book, with other similar books, has renewed my hope for balance and health. Dr. Hyman is clear and balanced in his recommendations for choosing a healthy life. He systematically lays ground work for making a difference in our daily lives and moves all the way up to making real changes in Global challenges.
I feel hopeful now that I have a pattern to follow for health that cuts through all the confusing, media driven, cash seeking "health science" out there. No more non-sense and fad diets.

Delicious!

Thank you Dr. Mark for writing this delicious book, full of helpful, healing information and recipes. Your work is valuable to the world! I truly appreciate how you approach the whole food spectrum from personal choice to planetary well being. My husband and I have an organic farm (no dig) and we are growing as much of our own food as possible, including meat chickens and hens that lay eggs. Lots of fresh leafy greens and herbs, vegetables and fruits. Regenerative farming is the only thing that makes sense to us and we will continue to build our soil, nourish the earth and our animals organically, so they can nourish us, organically. Now we are fine tuning our diet even more with The Pegan Diet. We all benefit from your work and focus. Thank you so much!

Enlightening and very informational

Dr. Mark Hyman explains how food is medicine and what we can do to get back to eating healthy and how that will help improve our lives. Eating properly can have the same effects only better than todays medicines offer us for ailments that we are basically causing ourselves because of what “they” tell us is healthy and good for us. Read it for yourself and make your own decisions, I am going to change my diet and see how my body reacts to those changes after giving it some time to react to the new vitamin rich, whole foods that I am going to begin to prepare with my loved ones.

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.
