A plant-based diet is the best thing you can do simultaneously for both your body and the planet. The recipes in the book draw on inspirations from a range of global cuisines and are generally compatible with other popular diets, such as keto, South Beach, Mediterranean and Blue Zone. The meals are designed to support a range of personal goals, such as weight loss, weight maintenance, caloric restriction and practical everyday veganism.

Many recipes and books that describe themselves as 'low carb 'are anything but, relying on unreasonable portion sizes or a very generous concept of "low!" The 135 recipes in Low Carb Vegan Cooking will help keep you in ketosis, a state of caloric deficit or help you maintain a healthy body weight with interesting and easy to prepare plant-based meals.

Animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gasses than all sectors of transportation combined, so you will be doing more than your part to address a changing climate by switching to a plant-based diet.

And keeping animal products out of your body not only reduces your chances of developing a wide range of lifestyle-related diseases (from diabetes to cardiovascular disease, obesity and dementia), but has also been shown in research to have effects of reversing conditions associated with previous years' habits of eating animal products.

Even if you've spent the first 50 years of your life eating cheeseburgers and drinking milk shakes, eating plant-based meals will allow your body's healing systems to get to work undoing many previous years of unhealthy eating. The meals described in the book are delicious and easy to make, as they are designed to help make preparing plant-based low carb meals fit easily into busy daily routines.
