    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    Ask 100 vegans why they pass on animal foods and you may get 100 different answers. Animal suffering, environmental waste, and personal health usually top the list. Global poverty, food safety and sanitation, or food allergies also are valid reasons to reduce reliance on animal foods. People of Western faiths may cite the biblical order for stewardship over creation, while others commit to the Eastern spiritual principle of ahimsa, that is, nonviolence and harmlessness. Call it the vegan Hippocratic oath.

    From significantly reduced rates of hypertension, arterial hardening, stroke, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and several types of cancer (prostate and breast cancer are the best documented), a plant-based diet helps prevent the vast majority of life-threatening diseases that plague modernity.

    Medical research and the American Dietetic Association affirm that a plant-based diet prevents many ailments, helps reverse some, and eases the symptoms of others. Veganism isn’t a bulletproof vest in protecting against these killers, but it just may be the best bet.

    If you’re used to eating eggs for breakfast and steak for dinner, you may be wondering, what’s left? Rest assured that with a little ingenuity, a plant-centered diet will bring more color, spice, and variety to your plate than ever before.

    As a matter of habit, most people reach for the same few foods day after day, but all that stops now! A nearly infinite array of grains, herbs, fruits, vegetables, beans, and legumes from around the world is at your fingertips. There are dozens of varieties of beans alone — navy, cannellini, kidney beans, black beans — and many other pulses, such as chickpeas and lentils, each with its own distinct flavors and textures. There’s no need to ever ask What do vegans eat? It’s simpler to question what vegans don’t eat, as the list is much shorter!
