Vegan Before 6

I am hearing wonderful things about New York Times food editor Mark Bittman's new book - Vegan Before 6. Mark Bittman is a fellow distance runner and has spoken frequently on how switching to a plant based diet has not only helped his running but greatly improved his health. He was faced with some health concerns a few years ago and was advised to give up meat or go on medication. As someone who made his living sampling different types of meals (meat included) this did not appeal to him. Yet medication, of course, also lacked any appeal. So he compromised and the results are in his new release - http://www.amazon.com/VB6-Before-Weight-Restore-Health/dp/0385344740
As a vegan for ethical (and obviously health) reasons it's my great desire to see everyone turn vegan. Yet even a slight reduction of meat is reason to celebrate. That's less slaughter, more health benefits and greater environmental gains with every meal. It's a start.
Here is a sample of his meal plan - http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/mark-bittmans-vegan-till-6-meal-plan

His book is a great guide for anyone who wishes or needs to make some dramatic changes to their health in a short period of time. Please check it out.

Peace,
