Purchase options and add-ons

Harness the power of whole-plant foods to lead a long and vibrant life―whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous.

Eat more whole plants. This simple recommendation is at the heart of a building consensus: The healthiest diet is a plant-based diet. Plants have spent millions of years evolving their defenses against disease. Now, studies indicate that by eating whole, minimally processed plant foods, humans too can gain protection―against everyday illness, diabetes, obesity, depression, mental decline, heart disease, and even cancer.

In The Plant-Powered Diet, registered dietitian Sharon Palmer marshals the most up-to-date findings in nutrition to explain both why you should fill more of your plate with whole-plant foods and how to do so, whether you’re a longtime vegan or a committed omnivore. Here is:
• Essential information on the healthiest plant foods―whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and even herbs, spices, chocolate, coffee, tea, and wine
• Advice for navigating the supermarket, kitchen, restaurant menus, on-the-go meals, exercise, and more
• A 14-day meal plan, plus daily action alerts to get you started
• And 75 original plant-based recipes for every meal―all with complete nutritional data.

The Plant-Powered Diet is not a diet you’ll go “on” today and “off” tomorrow. It is a simple, satisfying, and thoroughly delicious way of eating that can not only last your lifetime―but lengthen it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Registered Dietitian Sharon Palmer wrote a book that is much like a superfood: dense with the good stuff. The abundance of information in the first half is worth its weight in kale, then followed by 75 of the author’s own, family-tested recipes. This is a tome ideal for flexitarians and new vegans who are still learning."
― VegNews.com

"The Plant-Powered Diet is a compilation of compelling arguments for the ideal nutrition plan―one that is based on whole plant foods. Palmer is welcoming to her readers as she provides solutions for eating in a more health-promoting way. I recommend this as a resource for anyone seeking a healthier diet."
― Julieanna Hever, MS, RD, CPT, plant-based dietitian and author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition

"The Plant-Powered Diet makes the transition to a plant-powered lifestyle simple. The support tools, such as pantry lists, dining out tips, and recipes, will help anyone realistically make the leap into a plant-powered lifestyle. It’s refreshing to see a focus on whole food, vegetarian recipes."
― Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet

"In The Plant-Powered Diet, Sharon Palmer shares her passion for wholesome, delicious plant foods. This book, which is based on compelling scientific evidence, will help you find your own plant-based eating style that’s healthy, sustainable, and delicious."
― Cheryl Forberg, RD, James Beard Award–winning chef, New York Times bestselling author, and original nutritionist for The Biggest Loser

"A plant-powered diet is a very powerful step in the right direction toward an all plant-based, whole-food diet. A very useful and very informative book."
― Gene Stone, editor of Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health and author of The Secrets of People Who Never Get Sick

"The Plant-Powered Diet is not your typical ‘diet’ book, but a very well-researched and practical guide to help people shift away from the typical meat-centric lifestyle. Sharon Palmer’s wisdom will be invaluable in helping people embrace efforts like Meatless Monday, which can benefit their health and the health of the planet."
― Peggy Neu, president of The Monday Campaigns

"The Plant Powered Diet is a spot-on roadmap for our time. Eating deliciously, healthfully, and with a sense of our place in the world has never been easier, thanks to Sharon―I love this book!"
― Kate Geagan, MS, RD, author of Go Green Get Lean: Trim Your Waistline with the Ultimate Low-Carbon Footprint Diet

― Patricia Bannan, MS, RD, nutrition expert and author of Eat Right When Time Is Tight

"The Plant-Powered Diet is the best book on diet and health I’ve read in years."
― Ginny Kisch Messina, author of Vegan for Life

Incredible book!

This is becoming my favorite book to give away. So far I've purchased 6 copies and all but one I've given to others. The other has a great writing style - it's comprehensive, interesting and easy to read. The tables and nutritional information alone are worth way more than the price. Ms Palmer gives excellent overviews of the different types of lifestyles (ie, omnivorous to true vegan) and suggestions along the way. She does not mince words with foods to avoid and gives objective reviews on all others. A great addition to my library and one that I will use over and over again!

Immense amount of information and ideas on plant based eating for those wanting to add more plant foods to their diet or for those wanting to go totally plant based. The author does a great job of not making the reader feel guilty about consuming meat in moderation if that’s what someone wants to do. The author simply gives you the info and ideas to increase your plant intake in general and great nutritional info and planning ideas to help you. Very happy with this purchase

Love this book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

What do I love about it? It's a book that doesn't force vegetarianism down your throat like some other books I've seen. Sharon very gently encourages a more plant-based diet by identifying various "stages" that someone may be in and how they can shift their focus to a more heart-healthy plant based way of life. I'm a registered dietitian nutritionist always encouraging my clients to, as one of Sharon's chapters states, shift their focus from animals to plants. Personally I am not a vegetarian and likely never will be - I love an occasional steak or juicy burger (but "occasional" to me is a few times per year). I do consider myself a "flexitarian" or what you may call a "semi-vegetarian". The Plant-Powered Diet Spectrum on page 28 is one of my favorite ideas in the book. On one end of the spectrum is the plant-powered vegan and the other end is the plant-powered omnivore. This is a very well-referenced book that I encourage everyone to have on their bookshelf.

informative but needlessly long

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

Very repetitive. 50% of the book is about excitement. While it is important to show enthusiasm for a diet many Americans many need to be convinced of, the author sounded annoying at times.

This book could have been half the size and you would not miss out on anything. Recipes look great, though, admittedly, I have not yet attempted them.

I've been looking to change my diet for a long time now, and this book gives me the resources to do it. I do believe you have to be willing and ready for a life change like this, so it may not be for everyone. I appreciate how the author gives history about the foods she discusses and easy to read charts. I especially like how she provides information to not just vegans and vegetarians, but to omnivores, too. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is ready to change their life for the better. I have been slowly making changes over the last month according to the author's suggestions, and I've seen a huge improvement in how I feel.

I was looking for a helpful, encouraging, and informative book on how to incorporate and increase veggies and grains in my diet. I found it with Sharon Palmer's book.
This is an intelligently written book with a hint of logical persuasion. I especially enjoyed the flexibility Ms Palmer presents with varying degrees of plant based eating. Being an omnivore, I didn't feel guilt-ridden about being a meat eater after reading this book. Also, the recipes at the end gave me the kick start on how to blend flavors and ingredients. I enjoyed this book and keep it in the kitchen for all occasions. Highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2016

Decent book overall for the novice just getting into plant based eating. However... A few issues I have with it are as follows: 1) low fat low fat low fat (didn't we already see this as disastrous in the 90's?) 2) use of plant based margarines and 3) demonizing saturated fat, even coconut oil. I eat a plant based omnivorous diet, focusing mainly on fresh veggies, fruit and beans, some grains, but I also cook with and use a generous amount of EVOO and coconut oil, which are both proven to have health benefits. Wishing the author would update her research a bit more to include these highly beneficial fats.
