If you assume that a vegan diet is automatically a healthy diet... you'd be wrong.
Just like any diet, vegan diets can be full of fat and unnecessary calories. A whole-foods, plant-based diet is the healthiest possible way to eat—but veganism itself doesn’t equate to health.
Chef Del Sroufe knows better than anyone.
Chef Del Sroufe, author of the New York Times bestseller, Better Than Vegan, joins Andrea and Lisa to discuss his personal story.
Sroufe managed to reach 475 pounds while eating a vegan diet rich in pastries, peanut butter, and potato chips.
After converting to a vegan diet with minimal processed foods, sugars and added oils, he lost more than 240 pounds without giving up great food.
Learn how YOU can reap the benefits of this low-fat, plant-based diet.
