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.
