Publisher's summary

Leading medical authority Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, shows you how to put the power of a vegan diet to work with an easy, step-by-step approach.

Many are looking to adopt a more healthful diet but may have questions, like: How do I plan a vegan meal? Is protein an issue? How do I make it work if I don't cook? Which are the best choices at restaurants?

In The Vegan Starter Kit, Dr. Neal Barnard, perhaps the world's most respected authority on vegan diets, answers your questions and gives you everything you need to put vegan power to work. You'll learn how to ensure complete nutrition and get quick-reference charts for calcium sources, tips for modifying your favorite recipes, and examples of quick and easy meals. Everything you need for permanent weight control and dramatically better health is presented.

The Vegan Starter Kit also includes information on healthy eating in childhood, pregnancy, and other stages of life and a complete set of basic meals, holiday feasts, and snacks, among many other features.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Dr. Barnard makes a compelling case as to why all of us should 'test drive' a vegan diet. His guidebook is straightforward and simple to follow...as easy to digest as a plant-based lifestyle. All in all, a delicious read." (Meredith Vieira, journalist and television personality)

"We've known Neal Barnard for years as a leader in the plant-based revolution. His new book makes it so easy to start your plant-based journey that we're recommending The Vegan Starter Kit to everyone we meet who's 'vegan curious' or just interested in good health, better energy levels, and a longer, more vibrant life." (Suzy Amis Cameron and James Cameron)

Great book

This book breaks down about being a vegan very well. It allows you to understand the changes and the reasons why some people choose to go Vegan, and it breaks it down very well for the new vegans.

New Vegan

I am new to being vegan and have had a lot of push back and criticism from friends and family. This book was helpful at teaching me a full well balanced plant based diet and giving evidence based research on benefits of plant based eating. Quick easy book.

Direct and no fluff practical information

The reader used “EG” instead of saying “For Example” which was confusing at first but then annoying.

The author says something is on the PDF but not how to get the PDF. This being an audio book would like instruction how to get this. Feel like I am missing the recipes.

In formation was up to date and hints and suggestion useful and pragmatic. I like the no fluff and succinct style that efficiently get the point across.
Felt the reader a bit too formal for my personal style. Would have like a few chapters read by the good Dr. Barnard to make it a bit more personal.

What I was looking for.

This is what I've been looking for. It is packed full of good information for someone wanting to go plant based. If your in doubt don't be, you won't be disappointed. I am doing it for health reasons. Hope to update this in another month.
