Plant based diets

What is a plant based diet?

Plant-based or plant-forward eating patterns focus on foods primarily from plants. This includes not only fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, oils, whole grains, legumes, and beans. It doesn't mean that you are vegetarian or vegan and never eat meat or dairy.Vegan diets are a type of plant based diet where only foods derived from plants are consumed. This includes fruits, vegetables, grains, cereal products, nuts, seeds, legumes and plant-based milks such as soy, rice and almond. Vegans do not consume any animal products such as meat, chicken, eggs, honey, fish, milk and dairy products. In addition to this, many vegans do not wear or use products derived from animals such as wool or silk.
