Plant-protein shift What inspires me
Will that supplement interfere with your medication? Check out Senior Editor Susan Enfield’s quick guide to the best and worst nutrient-drug combos (page 30).

summer-fruit desserts by Deborah Madison are so good you’ll want to try them all. The Peaches with Ginger Biscuits

Tere’s no doubt about it: Lots of people are eating less meat and scrutinizing protein sources more carefully these days. Whether you’re opting for organic animal products or switching from a red-meat-centric diet to more plant-based proteins, you’re participating in a healthy lifestyle shift—one that has so much going for it, it’s hard to ignore. (Ready to take the vegan challenge? Turn to page 43 to find out how.) As a lifelong vegetarian, I’m thrilled to see the uptick in
culinary innovation and health studies supporting this change. In addition to lowering heart disease and cancer risk, new research suggests that eating a fiber-rich vegan or vegetarian diet protects against harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, because it optimizes the digestive tract’s pH, making it harder for bad bacteria to grow. Dining on plants also supports colonies of healthy bacteria, or probiotics, which increase immunity and further strengthen the digestive tract. What about eating more protein to lose extra pounds or maintain a healthy weight? If you do eat meat, be sure to choose grass-fed and organic varieties, which offer more healthy fats and decrease your exposure to hormone-disrupting pesticides, artificial hormones, and other chemicals. But I see no reason not to suggest that eliminating or reducing meat is a good choice when trying to lose weight; fiber from plant foods helps with satiety while improving overall health. Plus, with some truly exceptional vegan chefs out there (Ani Phyo and Alan Roettinger are two of Delicious Living’s favorites) and a plethora of new vegan goodies and convenience foods, protein-conscious eating has never been easier—or more delicious.
