| gaining weight as a vegan: Food and Healing Annemarie Colbin, 2013-01-30 Yes, you are what you eat. For everyone who wonders why, in this era of advanced medicine, we still suffer so much serious illness, Food and Healing is essential reading. “An eminently practical, authoritative, and supportive guide to making everyday decisions about eating that can transform our lives. Food and Healing is a remarkable achievement.”—Richard Grossman, Director, The Health in Medicine Project, Montefiore Medical Center Annemarie Colbin, founder of New York's renowned Natural Gourmet Cookery School and author of The Book of Whole Meals, argues passionately that we must take responsibility for our own health and rely less on modern medicine, which still seems to focus on trying to cure rather than prevent illness. Eating well, she shows, is the first step toward better health. Drawing on an impressive range of thinking—from Eastern philosophy to current medical journals—Colbin shatters many myths not only about the “Standard American Diet” but also about some of the quirky and unhealthy food fads of recent years. What emerges is one of the first complete works on: • How food affects our moods • The healing qualities of specific foods • The role of diet in preventing illness • How to tailor a diet approach that is right for you “I recommend it to my patients. . . . It's an excellent book to help people understand the relationship between what they eat and how they feel.”—Stephen Rechtstaffen, M.D. Director, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies “Have a look at this important, well-thought-out book.”—Bon Appetit |

| gaining weight as a vegan: Proteinaholic Garth Davis, Howard Jacobson, 2015-10-06 An acclaimed surgeon specializing in weight loss delivers a paradigm-shifting examination of the diet and health industry’s focus on protein, explaining why it is detrimental to our health, and can prevent us from losing weight. Whether you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, or a trainer, all of them advise to eat more protein. Foods, drinks, and supplements are loaded with extra protein. Many people use protein for weight control, to gain or lose pounds, while others believe it gives them more energy and is essential for a longer, healthier life. Now, Dr. Garth Davis, an expert in weight loss asks, “Is all this protein making us healthier?” The answer, he emphatically argues, is NO. Too much protein is actually making us sick, fat, and tired, according to Dr. Davis. If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency. The healthiest countries in the world eat far less protein than we do and yet we have an entire nation on a protein binge getting sicker by the day. As a surgeon treating obese patients, Dr. Davis was frustrated by the ever-increasing number of sick and overweight patients, but it wasn't until his own health scare that he realized he could do something about it. Combining cutting-edge research, with his hands-on patient experience and his years dedicated to analyzing studies of the world’s longest-lived populations, this explosive, groundbreaking book reveals the truth about the dangers of protein and shares a proven approach to weight loss, health, and longevity. |

| gaining weight as a vegan: The Case for Keto Gary Taubes, 2021-12-28 For fifty years, the medical establishment has preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict calories, eat less, and exercise more. Yet in that time, obesity in the United States has skyrocketed. So why has this prescription so clearly failed? Based on twenty years of investigative reporting and interviews with more than a hundred practicing physicians who embrace ketogenic (low-carbohydrate, high-fat) eating as the best formula for health, here bestselling author Gary Taubes puts the keto movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective. He makes clear the vital misconceptions about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply by eating too much or being sedentary; hormones play the critical role) and uses collected clinical experience from the medical community to provide much-needed practical advice on healthy eating. A groundbreaking manifesto for the fight against obesity and diabetes, in The Case for Keto, Taubes reveals why the established rules about eating healthfully might be the wrong approach to weight loss for most people, and how ketogenic diets can help many of us achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life. |

| gaining weight as a vegan: Wheat Belly William Davis, 2014-06-03 Includes a sneak peek of Undoctored—the new book from Dr. Davis! In this #1 New York Times bestseller, a renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems. Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls wheat bellies. According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It's due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—and its elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly, Davis exposes the harmful effects of what is actually a product of genetic tinkering and agribusiness being sold to the American public as wheat—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle. Informed by cutting-edge science and nutrition, along with case studies from men and women who have experienced life-changing transformations in their health after waving goodbye to wheat, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what is truly making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this seemingly benign ingredient. |

| gaining weight as a vegan: That's Why We Don't Eat Animals Ruby Roth, 2009-05-26 That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals uses colorful artwork and lively text to introduce vegetarianism and veganism to early readers (ages six to ten). Written and illustrated by Ruby Roth, the book features an endearing animal cast of pigs, turkeys, cows, quail, turtles, and dolphins. These creatures are shown in both their natural state—rooting around, bonding, nuzzling, cuddling, grooming one another, and charming each other with their family instincts and rituals—and in the terrible conditions of the factory farm. The book also describes the negative effects eating meat has on the environment. A separate section entitled “What Else Can We Do?” suggests ways children can learn more about the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, such as:“Celebrate Thanksgiving with a vegan feast” or “Buy clothes, shoes, belts, and bags that are not made from leather or other animal skins or fur.” This compassionate, informative book offers both an entertaining read and a resource to inspire parents and children to talk about a timely, increasingly important subject.

Are you following a healthy raw or vegan diet and failing to see the success or improvements that you expected? Are the nutritious foods you're eating making you bloated and full of gas? Did you know that your digestive system is designed to break down foods in a precise way? No matter how healthy the food you are eating, you will have gas and bloating if you break these rules. This book will introduce you to the science of food combining customized for a vegan diet. You'll understand how your digestive system works and what happens when incompatible foods are eaten in one meal (GAS!). Our digestive system developed before we had buffets, grand slam breakfasts, drive-thru fast food and four course dinners. This book shows the way food needs to be eaten and in what combinations to have optimal digestion, minimal gas and great health. Fart Free Vegan will help you get off of the indigestion supplement treadmill. Probiotics, apple cider vinegar, hydrochloric acid, enzymes and charcoal tablets won't cure our indigestion problems. The rules of proper food combining are the foundation of a harmonious digestive system and vibrant health. We may need supplements to pick us up along the way, but the way to optimal health, is to eat in harmony with our digestive system's principles. A Very Simple Change Brings Results No matter how healthy your diet and lifestyle, undigested foods putrefy, ferment, produce gas and indigestion and manufacture toxic bacteria in our gut. This leads to low energy, premature aging, weight gain and poor health. In Fart Free Vegan, Jon shares an important tool that he used to reverse a four year case of chronic fatigue. When he first started on a raw vegan diet, it was a dismal failure. He couldn't shake the discomfort of the gas and bloating after every meal. He knew that he had found the right diet, but only by implementing a few simple food combining rules did he see progress towards wellness. Examples include the common food combining mistakes that vegans make every day in their green smoothies, granolas and even their salads. And provides simple methods and alternatives so you can keep eating the foods you love, and lose the gas and indigestion. Fart Free Vegan provides solutions which will increase your awareness of the categories of food as determined by our body's ability to use enzymes and gastric fluids to harvest nutrients. The common vegan foods are categorized and simple rules of combining for healthy and efficient digestion are presented in an easy to follow format. This book is written for raw foodies and vegans, but anyone can benefit from more knowledge of our digestive system. No matter what you eat, combining foods properly for a happy digestive system will reward you with abundant energy, effortless weight control and vibrant health. |
