The Pegan Diet
The Pegan Diet: 25 Practical Principles for Reclaiming Your Health in a Nutritionally Confusing World | Dr Mark Hyman, MD
2 posts | 2 read
12-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, a 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 30 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.

Dr. Hyman‘s ideas make sense to me, but it‘s annoying that Pegan = Paleo + Vegan, yet he encourages you to eat meat! 3.5/5*

A lot of the information is common sense and stuff you‘ve heard before, eat whole foods, limit starch, avoid sugar, etc. I liked the information he gave on insulin resistance and its link to heart disease, cholesterol, and accelerated aging. It‘s a very quick read broken into 21 principles. Recommend for anyone wanting to change their lifestyle or with insulin resistance.
