Pegan Diet Cookbook

 Pegan Diet Cookbook, Nicole Gibbs, Independently Published, 2021

What the heck is the pegan diet?

It combines the paleo diet, which tries to replicate the diet from the Paleolithic Era, over 2 million years ago, with veganism. The paleo diet emphasizes fruits, fish, vegetables, meat and nuts. It forbids dairy, wheat, sugar, oils, salt, alcohol and coffee. Veganism allows only plant-based foods to be eaten, and forbids animal-based foods. The pegan diet requires adherents to consume 25 percent of their calories from animal sources, while the other 75 percent comes from plants.

A diet that forbids sugar, starch, refined carbohydrates, genetically modified organisms, dairy, gluten and beans (most of the time) will do wonderful things to your overall health. It can help you lose weight, prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and prevent diabetes. This book also has many recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The author admits that this is not an easy diet to follow. Even if all that a person can do, for now, is replace fast food with healthy smoothies, that can only help. For anyone with chronic health problems, it's not like there is anything to lose. Try the recipes in this book; it is worth your time.

Lectins Free Smoothie Diet

 Lectins Free Smoothie Diet, Nicole Gibbs, Independently Published, 2021

 

What are lectins, and why should a person care about them? They are a group of proteins found mostly in grains and legumes. They can help regulate your immune system, and improve your blood protein level. As with many things, having some lectins in your gut is a good thing. Having too many lectins can lead to inflammation and conditions like nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. This book shows how to reduce your lectins using smoothies.

Lectins are in most vegetables, so getting rid of lectins means restricting your diet. Smoothies are a good way to get antioxidants into your body. This book includes recipes for: strawberry banana smoothie, dark chocolate date smoothie, apple pie smoothie and purple power smoothie, among others.

Have you ever heard of lectins? Neither have I. For anyone suffering from any type of digestive problem, this book could be the answer. It is less than 75 pages long, and it is full of information. Besides, there are few easier ways to get nutrition into your body than with a smoothie.

Dr, Sebi Alkaline Diet

 Dr. Sebi Alkaline Diet, Nicole Gibbs, 2021, Independently Published

This cookbook/diet plan is all about preventing illnesses like diabetes and inflammation and removing toxic waste from the blood by a strict, vegan diet. Another cause of health problems could be your body's pH level. An optimum number is approximately 7.3, or slightly alkaline. The lower that number is, the more acidic it is (not a good thing). A blood test will give that number.

The book also explores pluses and minuses of the diet, how it helps with weight loss, examples of acidic and alkaline foods, and foods that are allowed and not allowed. It also includes 48 recipes that can help start your journey back to health.

Among its recommendations: Drink Lots of Water - up to one gallon per day (!). Greatly increase consumption of fruits and vegetables (organic if possible). Eliminate consumption of processed food, red meat and junk food, which is most of the typical American diet. For most people, this book may be common knowledge. For everyone else, this book is worth reading. Maybe this will help the reader get over their gastrointestinal or inflammation problems. (This book loses one ratings star because it needs a trip, or another trip, to a proofreader.)
