Summary: In the now famous research from The China Study, co-authored by father-son duo T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Thomas Campbell, MD, we learned that a whole-food, plant-based diet is linked to lower rates of chronic disease. The groundbreaking results (published in 2005) revealed the optimal diet: A diet comprised of fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains with minimal to no meat, dairy and processed food is the most powerful action you can take to lose weight, prevent disease, and feel better overall. In his new book - THE CAMPBELL PLAN: The Simple Way to Lose Weight and Reverse Illness, Using The China Study's Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet, Dr. Thomas Campbell shows readers how to make the transition to a plant-based diet with practical guidance and a simple plan to make a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle easy and sustainable. Dr. Campbell joins us on this episode of The Fitness Buff Show.
