The Plantastic Life team passionately promotes a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet as the best way to prevent and/or reverse the chronic diseases that cause so much unnecessary suffering and premature death in America.

Recapture Your Health With Delicious Plant Foods

Many people have successfully lost weight multiple times in their lives only to gain it all back and more. Any diet program or fad diet (no matter how loony) works in the short term, but it is estimated that 95% of all people who attempt to lose weight fail to keep the weight off in the long term (5 years or longer).

It’s time to focus on your health. By transitioning to a WFPB lifestyle, you will lose weight if you need to, and you’ll lose weight as you regain your health. If you focus on eating the healthiest diet, your weight will take care of itself. You have a much greater chance to maintain weight loss if you feel great once the weight comes off.

Join us to learn all about a Whole Food Plant Based diet to start reaping the BENEFITS of a truly HEALTHY body!

The original Plantastic Life Introductory Class on Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) diets is now available free as a three-part video series. We strongly encourage viewing the series in the correct order. We hope that the videos, in addition to the blog articles and other resources on this site, will help to persuade you to consider transitioning to a WFPB lifestyle.

Are you an Italian food lover?  Are you transitioning to a whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet?

Are you bummed because you think that you can no longer enjoy tasty Italian-American dishes?

Do we have the cookbook for you!

Plant-Based Italiano: Tradition Can Survive a Whole Food Plant Based Diet is a tool for people who want to continue to enjoy Italian-American dishes without consuming disease-promoting meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy and extracted oils.

In addition to containing many excellent recipes, Plant Based Italiano contains an introduction by Dominic where he explains how a junk food-loving Italian American became a plant-based dietitian who has followed a 100% plant based diet for over a decade.

Plant-Based Italiano also contains useful cooking, shopping and storing tips to help make the transition to a WFPB diet easier. These tips can help you make some adjustments to your own cherished meals to create new traditional meals that can be passed down to children and grandchildren. Being able to pass down the gift of tradition along with a better chance to live long, disease-free lives is a pretty good deal. Don’t you think?

T. Colin Campbell PhD Co-Author of The China Study and Whole: Rethinking The Science of Nutrition  says:

 “I loved this book at first sight. It is told in a very caring and personal manner and its recipes are based on the concept that whole food, plant-based foods offer the best approach to superior health. It will surely be on our book shelf and I highly recommend it. “

Two recent reviews of Plant Based Italiano

From JF: (Aug. 2020)

5.0 out of 5 stars – Wonderful Recipes that taste more complicated than they are

This is a fabulous cookbook-and though the recipes are extremely flavorful, they’re also quite simple to execute. I’m a WFPB chef and bought this for my daughter, who’s just beginning to venture into the kitchen on her own. She loves it!!!

From Monica: (October 2020)

5.0 out of 5 stars – This cookbook is fantastic

I love this cookbook and already used many of its recipes. It’s full of classics, but plant-based / vegan / healthier. I’ve adapted some of the recipes as well, it’s easy and practical to personalize it / make it your own (for those that love to experiment and are familiar with Italian cuisine). I highly recommend it. I like the stories about the recipes and people, as well as nice pictures of the different dishes too.
