Whole foods are unprocessed foods that come from the earth. Now, we do eat some minimally processed food on a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet such as whole bread, whole wheat pasta, tofu, non-dairy milk, and some nuts and seed butter. All these are fine as long as they are minimally processed. So, here are the different categories:

There are topics in this book dedicated to plant-based recipes which can give you an idea of what you can whip up really quick in your kitchen or those special meals you can prepare for the family. As long as you are eating foods like these on a regular basis, you can forget about carbs, protein and fat forever.

Think about veggie pizzas and non-dairy ice cream. Staying healthy requires you to eat healthy foods - even within a Plant-Based Diet setting.
