Ashley,
I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 (via Netgalley)Interesting read! I like that it's focused on diversity of foods and not calorie counting。 I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 (via Netgalley)Interesting read!

Where has this book been my whole life! I have always been a flexitarian my whole life。 I often find myself falling into cooking ruts where I just recycle the same 3-4 recipes。 It gets very boring quick。 I have been looking for new recipes to get inspired to cook again while also improving my overall gut health。 I think Dr。 Rossi does a great job of explaining the gut bacteria's role in our overall health。 I love that she broke down the different pathways gut bacteria can impact different aspect Where has this book been my whole life! I have always been a flexitarian my whole life。 I often find myself falling into cooking ruts where I just recycle the same 3-4 recipes。 It gets very boring quick。 I have been looking for new recipes to get inspired to cook again while also improving my overall gut health。 I think Dr。 Rossi does a great job of explaining the gut bacteria's role in our overall health。 I love that she broke down the different pathways gut bacteria can impact different aspects of your wellbeing (i。e。 hormones, skin, brain, etc)。 Each explanation includes cited references to studies to support the statements made by the author。 Most importantly I enjoyed the examples of plant based foods that can "boost" your gut bacteria to address different aspects of your health。 I've tried a few variations of the recipes in this book and can't wait to keep experimenting。 Overall, I believe this is a really great resource for not only recipes, but to gaining a better foundation in the what and why of plant based diets and improving your gut bacteria。 Important note: the author does not promote any sort of diet, but encourages readers to incorporate more plant based foods into their diets。 I love that the author points out that a plant based diet is based on facts and not fads。 I would definitely recommend this book。 Thank you to Net Galley and The Experiment for a copy of this book。 Well done Dr。 Rossi! 。。。more
Johanna Sawyer,
Easy to love cover and aptly named book! This was a great book to just help you incorporate a few more vegetables into your diet。 You don’t have to be a strict vegan to enjoy the advice! What did I like? The concept was/is pretty easy。 Who can’t add some more nuts, beans, or spices to your meals。 She gives you the best choices and it’s up to you to add them。 Easy peasy! The wealth of information provided though is pretty good。 I hadn’t read her first book (Love your gut) but I’ve added it to my Easy to love cover and aptly named book!

Yes I could easily see myself buying this book and trying out the healthy recipes。 Simple though you don’t need a recipe to add foods, just a simple trial and error。 Five stars! I received a complimentary copy to view and voluntarily left this opinion。 。。。more
Beth Morrill,
How to Eat More Plants sets out a detailed plan to eating a more diverse plant-based diet。 The idea is that you should eat a number of different kinds of plants each day。 I appreciated the system and I do think it will be helpful to many readers but found myself (someone who has avoided vegetables my whole life) looking for more concrete ways to incorporate vegetables into my diet。 More recipes, menu ideas, etc。
Jennie,
How to Eat More Plants is a book about exactly that but this is not a you need to go plant-based book。 Rossi focuses on teaching ways in which to add more plants to you diet so that you get 30 different plants a week into you diet without up ending everything。 You learn about how much and what things constitute a plant in Rossi's books, which includes things like spices and non-starchy foods。 It is more about the nutrients you get than an encyclopedia definition of a plant。 You want to look at g How to Eat More Plants is a book about exactly that but this is not a you need to go plant-based book。 Rossi focuses on teaching ways in which to add more plants to you diet so that you get 30 different plants a week into you diet without up ending everything。 You learn about how much and what things constitute a plant in Rossi's books, which includes things like spices and non-starchy foods。 It is more about the nutrients you get than an encyclopedia definition of a plant。 You want to look at grabbing a piece of fruit with you breakfast, adding new spices to you cooking, or integrating vegetable purees into your oatmeal or smoothies。 If you need help with ideas Rossi includes recipes that you can help you。We can all do small things to things to improve our health and these small steps can have a more lasting impact than big changes because we are more likely to stay with them。 。。。more

Author Megan Rossi offers a delightful book on eating a diverse diet that is evidence-based and offers many health benefits。 The book has colorful graphics and wonderful pictures of recipes provided。 "How to Eat More Plants" may be a bit gimmicky with the 28-day plant point challenge but this may just be the motivation factor to get some people to incorporate more whole grained, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nut and seeds, and herbs and spices into their daily diet。 Rossi includes a Diversity Die Author Megan Rossi offers a delightful book on eating a diverse diet that is evidence-based and offers many health benefits。 The book has colorful graphics and wonderful pictures of recipes provided。 "How to Eat More Plants" may be a bit gimmicky with the 28-day plant point challenge but this may just be the motivation factor to get some people to incorporate more whole grained, vegetables, legumes, fruits, nut and seeds, and herbs and spices into their daily diet。 Rossi includes a Diversity Diet toolkit, wheel of diversity, a plant-based shopping list, mindful eating exercise, nutritious recipes with attached plant points and so much more。 This book would assist the novice as well the experienced person on increasing diversity in the diet。 。。。more
Bookgrrl,
As the cover of this book clearly shows, the goal of the author is to get us to eat more plant-based foods。 This is done by tracking each individual plant food that you eat (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and herbs and spices)。 The goal is to eat at least 30 different foods per week。 So for instance, if you eat a banana every day, you don’t count this seven times, you only count it once because it’s one particular food。 I appreciate the effort that this author is maki As the cover of this book clearly shows, the goal of the author is to get us to eat more plant-based foods。 This is done by tracking each individual plant food that you eat (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and herbs and spices)。 The goal is to eat at least 30 different foods per week。 So for instance, if you eat a banana every day, you don’t count this seven times, you only count it once because it’s one particular food。 I appreciate the effort that this author is making to get us to diversify our diets。 A lot of us eat the same foods every day, so turning this into a bit of a contest and having a goal is a fun way to get you to eat differently。 I do have to admit that a lot of the recipes did not particularly appeal to me。 Quite a few of them cram a lot of different ingredients into one dish and I think the flavors would be a bit muddled。 And there are a couple of total missteps。 Like the recipe for “hidden veggie ice cream“ that includes steamed cabbage in an ice cream recipe。 Trust me, if you put steamed cabbage into a sweet dish, it will not be “hidden“ once you take a bite。 So while there are only a couple of the recipes that I would consider making myself, I do think the overall goal of the book is good。Thank you to NetGalley & The Experiment for this advanced reader copy。 All opinions expressed in this review are my own。 。。。more
