Plant-Forward Diet

A plant-forward diet emphasizes eating mostly plant-based foods—such as vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and legumes—while occasionally including small amounts of animal products. It prioritizes plant nutrition for health benefits and environmental sustainability, but doesn’t require strict elimination of meat or dairy. This approach encourages diverse, balanced meals that focus on plant ingredients, promoting better heart health, weight management, and reduced ecological impact, while allowing flexibility based on personal preferences and dietary needs.
