Today is the first day of the Physican’s Committee for Responsible Medicine 21-Day Vegan Kickstart, a three week vegan diet plan.
All Kickstart participants receive a free daily diet plan in your inbox every morning, complete with recipes, tips and video messages from doctors and nutritionists. The Kickstart menu is based on the Power Plate, the PCRM’s vegan alternative to the USDA food pyramid. The Power Plate is divided into four recommended food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.
Anyone can try a vegan diet for a three weeks, remember when Oprah did? The Vegan Kickstart website explains: “Whether you are transitioning from a vegetarian to a vegan diet, changing your lifestyle because of diabetes or heart disease, or just want to lose some extra weight, you will notice some amazing improvement in your health.”
