Introduction
The Lean and Green Cookbook is an extensive cookbook with over 500 recipes that explore the world of healthy living. This cookbook provides you with recipes that are both nutritious and delicious. It will teach you how to prepare your vegetarian dishes, but also incorporate lean proteins into different cooking methods. There are also many different dessert recipes, including vegan-friendly ones! All of these dishes will give you the physical energy needed to manage your day-to-day life without the added weight of heavy foods or rich desserts. The lean and green diet is a special variant of the low-fat diet, which further makes use of lean proteins instead of fat in promoting weight loss and improving health risks. Lean protein sources include skinless poultry, fish (e.g., cod and haddock), lean cuts of meat, eggs, and vegetable proteins such as lentils and beans. This kind of diet improves metabolism by increasing the metabolic rate that speeds up weight loss. It also reduces the risk of obesity because following the lean and green diet does not increase body fat as much as low-fat diets.
The emphasis is on consuming a small amount of meat and fish that are eaten twice a day, together with other protein sources such as eggs, lentils, and beans. The diet includes vegetables in addition to fruits that are rich in vitamins (e.g., carrots). Green food includes different varieties of beans like green lentils, black-eyed peas, and soybeans. The Lean and Green diet is one of the healthy diets that should be consumed frequently because it complements all other healthy diets.
Some may assume that the lean diet is better for everyone when it comes to losing weight and improving health than a conventional low-fat diet, but the evidence does not yet support this claim. Recent studies show that lean diets have similar results to low-fat diets in reducing body weight. Also, they do not show a considerable improvement in the health risk factors like blood lipids, blood pressure, and insulin resistance compared to low-fat diets.
It is also associated with lowering blood pressure levels. People with some medical conditions such as kidney disorders (or other renal diseases) may consult their doctor before following this diet. The lean and green diet is better for people who need to lose weight quickly. However, this diet is not appropriate for people with kidney diseases because it requires more protein than their body can optimally use.
In a world where we are often surrounded by processed food, too much sugar, and not enough physical activity, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. Our actions can reduce the negative impacts of climate change and improve our health. This cookbook is full of healthy recipes that are easy to prepare; theyll help you become more mindful about your diet while supporting your efforts towards sustainable living. These recipes are part of my ongoing efforts to improve the way we live in a changing world. Of note, some of the recipes are included in my new book, One Square Meal: The Natural Way to Get Healthy, Lose Weight, and Feel Great Every Day.
I encourage you to try all of these recipes and make them your ownif you enjoy them and find they work for you, theyll help you in these ways: You will be helping yourself get healthy. Many of the recipes in this book are gluten-free or dairy-free, so they are easier on your digestive system. Many others can be used to help you limit the number of foods you eat that contain wheat gluten and dairy products. By limiting the amount of wheat gluten you eat, you encourage your body to break down more of the fat in your diet and convert it into clean-burning energy instead of fat.
Chapter 1. What Is a Lean and Green Diet
A Lean and Green Diet is a diet that has been recommended for cancer patients, but it can be used by people with a range of other conditions as well.
A Lean and Green Diet restricts food intake to foods with low oncogenic potential (cancer-causing properties) but encourages healthy eating habits. This means that the diet claims to be carcinogen-free because it uses only foods from plant sources or animals raised without antibiotics or hormones. The food is also said to leave no traces of pesticides and herbicides. The diet is suitable for virtually all people with cancer. Some people are interested in a processed vegetarian-type diet, which excludes meat and animal products. It's promoted as being good for you, but it won't do much to suppress cancer growth unless it includes vegetables like broccoli and eggplant (cooked or raw), which would have been cooked in animal foods or preserved with fatty foods such as bacon.
It's almost impossible to avoid all contact with cancer-causing substances, such as pollution in the atmosphere. Scientists are now saying that you may be able to reduce your cancer risk by adding a few non-starchy vegetables, beans, and fruit to your diet every day.
Cancer is caused by damage to DNA in the body. The major cause of DNA damage is oxidative stress which is caused by oxidants released by free radicals which are produced during cellular metabolism. The diet is low in carbohydrates and high in antioxidant vitamins, minerals, proteins, and essential fatty acids. The diet also eliminates carcinogen-containing foods such as meat, dairy products, poultry, eggs, and refined carbohydrates.
The diet emphasizes meals that are high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fats. The diet can be used for patients with various types of cancer; however, it is less suitable for patients with impaired digestion in the stomach or intestines because of surgery or other causes. The diet recommends eating small meals about four times a day.
