It's a no-brainer that eating healthy will lead to a healthy life. The foods you eat really can change your life. So what are those foods? Landmark studies have found that following a plant-based diet can dramatically improve your health. In The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook, leading physician Dr. Neal Barnard and acclaimed chef Robyn Webb team up to show you how delicious and easy it is to get started. In this book, you'll find 125 amazing recipes to jump-start weight loss and help you feel great.

Healthy eating books are not new, so what makes this one so special? Turn to the very first page of the book, and you'll read, "This book holds the culinary secrets to lifelong health." It was a promise that was fulfilled in the pages that followed. The bulk of the book contains recipes for tasty and nutrious meals that are consistently low in fat and calories. However unlike typical diet foods, the recipes are not bland and boring. With recipes for foods like Fire-Roasted Tomato-Black Bean Chili, Garlicky Pinto Bean and Pasta Bake, Sweet and Sour Tofu, and Spiced Pumpkin Oatmeal, these dishes are not lacking flavor. They are creative, satisfying, and super easy to prepare, as well. Inside the book are tips for cooking these recipes to perfection. Also in the book are many thoughtful tools that will help you revolutionize your kitchen and your life as easily and effortlessly as possible. Many recipes include a wonderful little "Did You Know" sidebar, with tasty tidbits of information about the dish or one of its ingredients. I learned a lot of neat culinary morsels from reading these boxes! For example, did you know that tomato dishes tend to taste better a few days after they are made or that you can use your rice cooker to cook quinoa? The recipes are not just lists of ingredients and steps. They are interactive and fun, too.

The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook is the perfect book for anyone who wants to eat more healthfully without sacrficing the flavor. Plus, you don't have to go vegan to enjoy this cookbook. By incorporating these simple and hearty meals into your daily regimen, you will be well on your way to achieving your weight loss goals.
