Davis explains that not all carbohydrates promote diabetes while explaining how plant based protein helps to reduce the risk of diabetes and why whole food diets are naturally low in fat and sodium. The 140 recipes show that plant based whole food diets don’t have to be plain and dreadful, rather they provide a range of nutritious fare that varies from comfort food to sinful treats accompanied with a complete nutritional analysis. 

Well designed whole food plant based diets can be successful because they work to address the root cause of the disease to utilize the potent protective dietary components found concentrated in these foods that work together to ward of hunger, ease inflammation and oxidative stress, stabilize blood glucose levels, enhance gut micro flora, as well as keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels under control while minimizing ingestion of harmful components that are highly concentrated in processed foods and animal products that can derail positive progress to improved health and well being.
