In Vegan Myth Vegan Truth author McCabe tackles the myths, rumors, and lies surrounding the vegan diet. While hundreds of thousands of Americans undergo surgeries relating to cardiovascular disease, organ diseases, and cancer largely because they have eaten a diet heavy in meat, dairy, and eggs, some people consider the vegan diet to be extreme. What should be considered extreme is a populace consuming mass quantities of foods known to cause disease. Those foods include meat, dairy, and eggs, and those containing processed sugars and salts, synthetic chemicals, and damaging fats. What should not be considered extreme is a low fat vegan diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables, along with some nuts and seeds. It is a diet that infuses health. It greatly reduces the chances of experiencing what have become common degenerative and chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, MS, Alzheimer's, Chron's, arthritis, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, and kidney disease. What have become the common foods in America are becoming common in other countries. Because of this, rates of chronic and degenerative diseases are increasing globally. Incidence of heart attacks, strokes, diabetic coma, and conditions such as arthritis and erectile dysfunction largely can be traced to low quality dietary choices, and chiefly to diets rich in animal protein, unhealthful fats, clarified sugars, processed foods, and synthetic chemicals. Studies conducted by leading institutions around the planet are concluding that a diet free of animal protein and processed foods, but rich in fresh fruits and vegetables is a way of greatly improving health while reducing the risk of common diseases. From an environmental standpoint, a plant based diet is more sustainable. It reduces the use of fossil fuels, land, and water, improving the conditions of the environment and wildlife - and farmers. The animal farming industry, including growing food for farmed animals,...

If you have been living the vegan lifestyle for a while, and are just looking for some new ideas, we are equally thrilled that you are here as well. One issue that many people face when choosing the vegan lifestyle is getting enough protein in their diet. Protein is essential because it helps hair to look great, keeps nails strong, and provides a healthy glow to skin.

Protein is also essential in producing enzymes that your body needs to digest all food properly. Most importantly, however, when you are trying to lose weight, it keeps you feeling full much longer. Therefore, you eat less food. You can enjoy a wide variety of foods including beans, quinoa, nuts, greens, broccoli, asparagus and tempeh.

There are many different approaches to eating. Some people eat anything and everything. Others don’t eat meat or they eat meat once a week. Others avoid meat and animal products all together. They embrace a vegan lifestyle. A vegan is someone that does not eat any animal products. That means they don’t eat meat. They also don’t eat eggs or dairy. No butter, no cheese, and no milk. Most vegans also don’t eat honey. Many vegans avoid meat for a number of reasons including but not limited to: • Health concerns – there are statistics connecting animal products to disease. • Moral beliefs – many vegans have beliefs connected to not using animals for human gain. That means that they also don’t wear leather or use any products tested on animals. • Environmental concerns – farming animals and animal products is believed by many to be detrimental to the environment. We’ll look at these reasons more closely in a bit. First, let’s take a closer look at some statistics about being vegan and what the lifestyle involves. Veganism is growing in popularity. There are now one million vegans in America. It’s increased, along with vegetarianism, quite significantly over the past few years. Almost 70 percent of vegans are women. Almost half of the people who are vegans started their new lifestyle because they saw a movie or read a book about the benefits of veganism or the downside of eating meat. And many vegans gradually transitioned to the lifestyle. For example, many people become vegan by default. Their spouse or partner is vegan and they eventually become vegan themselves. Some experience a health scare, like a heart attack, and decide that being vegan is the path to better health and a longer life. So, what does it mean to be vegan? The chapters in the book are: 1. Vegan Life Explained 2. The Health Benefits of a Vegan Diet 3. Why Eat Vegan? What Are the Benefits to th...
