About this ebook
Another diet book! Aren’t we all fed up with diet books already and all the contention and confusion?
Yes, indeed! We definitely are. So what’s the purpose of another diet book?
Well, the Pegan Diet is nothing but user-centered; that is, it focuses attention on you as an individual. It doesn’t set strict limits and restrictions of do's and don'ts but only offers the best way to apply to your body type. It takes the best from both the Paleo and Vegan worlds to reconcile the best principles applicable to anyone who wants to eat healthily.
Hyman divides the book into 21 easy principles that anyone can follow. He explains the principles without using challenging scientific jargon but uses a welcoming approach. Healthy living should be accessible to everyone. What's more, his wholesome strategy also offers tips on how to eat healthy on a budget. Whoever said only the wealthy could eat good and live long!
He concludes the final chapter, Cook the Pegan Way, by detailing easy recipes throughout the day for anyone getting started on a Pegan Diet.
After years of feuds and diet wars, it's about time to address humanity and food's primary concerns. The focus should be on shifting people's attention from the number one killer today – our modern industrial diet. We should focus on a radical shift from an obesogenic, disease-causing, nutrient-depleted diet to one rich in whole foods and protective nutrients that promote weight loss, health, and well-being.
That’s the sole intent of the Pegan Diet – not to market and sell another diet regime but to find the best in all meal plans and maximize that. Perhaps this would help us minimize the more than 11 million people worldwide who lose their lives annually on our modern diet.
It's about time we took a stand to change how we grow, produce, distribute, and consume food globally if we desire a more productive society. It's about time we reconfigured and restructured our food philosophy and understood the immense power of diet.
Hyman presents four fundamental foundations that the Pegan Diet intends to ascertain:
- Food is medicine that can heal and harm. To make the most of the medicinal value of food, it is essential to focus on food quality. Some suggest we should all be nutrivores, prioritizing nutrient density. Others propose we should join the qualitarian train, focusing on the food quality no matter the philosophy.
- The Pegan Diet is based on functional medicine – it has the power to prevent, treat, and even reverse most chronic ailments quickly, much faster than pharmacea. Your body is a biological ecosystem with dynamically interacting and interconnected systems. Thus, a disease in one of your body parts, say your liver, means your whole system is compromised. This is contrary to what conventional medicine teaches us. Functional medicine aims at creating health rather than simply treating the symptoms. It begins with taking out the bad stuff – the root cause – and introducing the good.
- The Pegan Diet saves you and the environment at large. Simply put, the Pegan Diet is a “regenerative diet” – one that regenerates human and earth health. Regenerative agriculture ensures food is raised in a manner that restores soil, conserves water, increases biodiversity, reverses climate change, produces more nutrient-dense, phytonutrient-rich quality food, all while enriching farmers more and making their farms resistant to drought, floods, and impacts of climate change. It, therefore, stops the destructive cycle.
