But beyond fancy new marketing speak, what does "plant-based" actually mean? Is it vegan? Can you ever eat meat? And more importantly, will this way of eating provide enough protein to fuel workouts or to simply go about your normal day without getting hungry? Now, Men's Health demystifies the plant-based lifestyle by providing the clear guidelines to adopting this healthy way of cooking and eating. An introduction by food and nutrition editor Paul Kita sets out the necessary nutritional guidelines and explains how to incorporate more plants into everyday meals. Best of all, the good news for meat lovers is that animal proteins can be included in a plant-based diet lifestyle. It's simply that meat takes more of a backseat to an abundance of plants and grains at every meal: meat is your condiment for the plants on your plate.
