Did you know that if you adopt a vegan diet you can enjoy a healthier body? Save money? You can ward off Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and other metabolic diseases. You can eat delicious burgers. Help save the planet. Join the cool kids, like Gandhi, Tolstoy, Leonardo—and Kyrie Irving, Kat Von D, and Joaquin Phoenix. Oh, and did we mention have better sex? (It’s about blood flow.)
Those are just some of the 72 reasons you might want to give vegan a try, as compiled and persuasively argued by Kathy Freston & Gene Stone, two of the leading voices in the ever-growing movement to eat a plant-based diet. While plenty of books tell you how to go vegan, 72 Reasons to Be Vegan is the book that tells you why. And it does so in a way that emphasizes not what you’d be giving up, but what you’d be gaining.

It’s going to change our waistlines, our overall health, and the planet—for the better.

Packed with cutting-edge, up-to-the-minute research, the book digs deep to answer questions like: Why do we need protein? How do we get enough of the right kind? Includes 30+ recipes to revolutionize your own eating habits, with kid-friendly versions for family dinners!

It includes 70 crazy delish, super-simple recipes. Fun stories and lots of great pix!
If you've ever dieted, you've undoubtedly worked very hard to achieve results -- only to experience the frustration of seeing the pounds creep back on. Now Kathy Freston reveals her secret: losing weight doesn't have to be a struggle, and it can last. With this book she shares the powerful concept of The Lean -- a radically effective and practical 30-day plan -- and shows you how to make and commit to small diet and lifestyle changes that, over time, can yield significant results. One step a day -- swapping nondairy milk for cow's milk, eating an apple a day, having an afternoon power shake -- can kick-start your forward momentum, lead to ever more healthy choices, and bolster your progress. On The Lean plan, readers can experience sustained, healthy, and permanent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week -- plus increased energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, and renewed purpose. The Lean offers not only the means to a truly leaner frame, but also the little push we all need to get on the path to lasting change. Complete with exercises, recipes, and powerful testimonials.
