Plant-based eating has become a very popular in recent years, and as with many food trends there's a boatload of terminology and misconceptions. Vegan, Whole Food Plant-Based, all the different "arians" are just a few of the variations on plant-based eating. It can be so confusing even Erin missteps in defining them!
Let's get clear on these eating patterns, what they do and don't entail and what the research actually says about eating plants. We find that putting plants at the forefront of any eating pattern is usually more sustainable than following a rigid diet label. Listen in and see if this information helps you emphasize plants in a way that works for you.
