And for her, that means following a plant-based diet, one which has helped her improve her mood, gain energy and lose weight. It also means finding dishes that offer nutrition, satiety and flavor made with wholesome ingredients, which isn't as elusive a notion as you might think." --Food Network Reclaim your health with Kiki Nelson's all-new super simple plant-based recipes and a 28-day meal plan that will kickstart new habits and enable you to maintain your health and weight loss.
