The Greenprint: Plant-Based Diet, Best Body, Better World by Marco BorgesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Borges created this truly beautifully designed book that explains in details the benefits of changing to a plant-based diet. Like Borges, I also transitioned to a completely plant-based diet rather than suddenly making the change. I became a pescatarian (vegetarian + fish) in 2002, then I gave up gluten and dairy in 2016 (due to illness...leading to a celiac diagnosis), and finally giving up fish and eggs to be full "vegan" in 2017. Borges presents 22 "rules" to begin living a healthier livestyle, including transitioning to a full plant-based diet. He goes through all the health and other medical benefits associated with eating plant-based while also debunking myths commonly brought up against a vegan lifestyle. Borges also includes a ton of yummy and easy recipes in the back of the book for those wanting to try out plant-based meals without knowing where to start. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the either the health benefits, environmental benefits or animal welfare benefits of a plant-based diet. I also recommend this book to current vegetarians or flex-itarians who might want to try going completely plant-based.
