The quick, sure way to reverse the results of such unhealthy choices is to eat nutrient-rich, calorie-sparse natural foods: vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains. Dr. Ohlsen explores the health benefits, food-enjoyment issues, psychological considerations, and earthly impact of a plant-based diet. She takes us on her own journey from overweight meat eater suffering many health challenges to slim, healthy person whose diet is entirely plant-based whole foods, and offers a variety of vegan recipes to boost our health and delight our taste buds. Her practical advice includes how to change our eating habits using Buddhist psychology and a master plan called the Eightfold Path to establish and support healthy decision-making. She interweaves nutrition, inspirational stories, and mindful eating to help us do better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOhlsen, Cassandra:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Cassandra Ohlsen, M.D., is a diplomate certified in Internal Medicine.
