With the rise of vegan and plant-based shops and restaurants everywhere, many people’s eating habits have become a push-pull kind of mentality. Some link healthy eating with deprivation and diet, while others try to decipher between vegan and plant-based foods.
“Are all vegan foods healthy?” That’s a popular question. And the answer is no. There’s a lot of vegan junk food out there. So, beware! It’s like people trusting food labels just because they say “Organic” or “Gluten Free,“ thinking it’s good for them. “Not necessarily the case,” says Carly Paige, chef, and author of Simply Swapped Everyday.
According to Paige, 32, healthy eating doesn’t have to be difficult. It doesn’t need to be restrictive. It doesn’t have to be boring. But, it does need to be an everyday affair. In her cookbook, released in the fall of 2019, she explains how her “swapped” method works. In a nutshell, it is a simple guide to healthy eating. It does not focus on today’s trendy vegan foods, and for many, it is more than just a dietary restriction, it is a lifestyle.
The Simply Swapped method is not about “what not to eat,” but rather, it is about enhancing the quality of food, that over time, will crowd the other things out and change your cravings. With more than 75 plant-powered recipes that incorporate different foods into your day, and into your diet—Paige’s cookbook inspires people to find small ways to add nutrients to their plates and even a big bang for their buck!
