Healthy Eating Guides and Nutrition Handouts
You know how confused most people feel about what to eat. There's so much spin out there. Butter or no butter? Eggs or no eggs? Fad diets telling people to lose weight by eating bacon! So many of our friends and loved ones put their health at risk, because they don't know what the research says about what to eat—and neither does their doctor.
Like doctors who smoked cigarettes in the '60s, many doctors today don't have the information they need to guide their patients to health.
But we do know what the science tells us. Only one way of eating has ever been proven to reverse the progression of heart disease in the majority of patients: a diet centered around whole plant foods. If that's all a plant-based diet could do—help reverse the number one killer of men and women—then shouldn't that be the default diet until proven otherwise? The fact that it can also be effective in preventing, arresting, and reversing the progression of other leading killers makes the case for plant-based eating simply overwhelming.
Our goal at NutritionFacts.org is to give you the most accurate, useful information to empower and inspire you to make healthy changes in your life. Let our free healthy eating guides and nutrition handouts help you make the switch to a whole food, plant-based diet and lifestyle—easily and deliciously.
Evidence-Based Eating Guide
A Healthy Living Resource from Dr. Greger & NutritionFacts.org
Our Evidence-Based Eating Guide is being revised and updated, and we can't wait to share the new and improved version with you later this summer! In its pages, you'll find the whys and hows of eating more healthfully, a breakdown of Dr. Greger's Traffic Light Eating, tips for using the Daily Dozen Checklist, sample meal swaps, and so much more.
Daily Dozen Meal Planning Guide
Whole food, plant-based nutrition. Pretty self-explanatory, right? But aren't some plant foods better than others? You can apparently live extended periods eating practically nothing but potatoes, which would, by definition, be a whole-food, plant-based diet—but not a very healthy one. All plant foods are not created equal.
Meet Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen, a checklist of the healthiest of healthy foods and habits to incorporate into your everyday routine, first introduced in his best-selling How Not to Die. In our Daily Dozen Meal Planning Guide, you'll walk through the steps for incorporating the Daily Dozen into your meal planning and pick up all sorts of strategies to help you build more healthful eating habits.
