The Plan A Diet
Endorsements
I am a devout Christian and a staunch advocate of a whole-food, plant-based diet. I have read many great books on faith and Christianity. I have also read many great books on how and why to eat a whole-food, plant-based diet. The Plan A Diet is one of the rare books that combines both subjects, and does so seamlessly and beautifully. Regardless of your religious background, you will learn a lot from reading this book; but especially for the millions of Christians out there who see their faith and their diet as two completely separate spheres, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! I am certain that doing so will transform you for the better.

What a wonderful way to bring our faith and the healing power of food together! God is interested in all parts of our lives. When we are sick and unhealthy, it hinders our ability to participate with God in the work He has for us. I am excited that The Plan A Diet is a book that focuses on a Christian audience and can help guide the people of faith to regain their health and purpose.

As someone who has experienced firsthand the pitfalls of the Standard American Diet AND trendier high-protein diets, I can tell you they dont lead down a path of wholistic health. There IS a better wayGods waythe way He planned for us from the very beginning. This book perfectly communicates Cyds wealth of knowledge and experience and boils down complex science and Scripture into easy-to-understand action steps. This book is incredibly thorough yet completely practical. Read this book and change your life!
Amber Lauren , Fix Your Eyes on Him Biblical Health & Wholeness
Author of The Biblical Self-Care Workbook
Let Cyd open your eyes with this compelling manuscript expounding on the deeper importance of why seeking the best health possible has present-day as well as eternal consequences. She has covered many ideas not yet explored in most whole food, plant-based exposs. In 3 John 1 we are told: I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospers.
