In her latest Happy Herbivore book, Lindsay S. Nixon provides what her readers have been clamoring for-a practical, in-depth guide to living the plant-based lifestyle. A plant-based diet is not about saying no to a variety of foods. It’s about saying yes to you and your health. It’s about saying yes to whole, good-for-you foods that make you feel (and look!) great.

In Happy Herbivore Life, she expertly walks you through how to thrive as a happy herbivore, from making the transition to living plant-proud every day to overcoming objections from your family and friends. Nixon provides insight on key ingredients to include in your diet and exposes the myths concerning soy, carbs, fat, and protein. She offers tips on what to say to critical carnivores, how to live plant-based with a busy lifestyle, and ways to make easy substitutions in recipes that won’t change the texture and taste of your favorite dishes.
