One of the trendiest eating plans right now, the pegan diet combines the paleo eating plan and vegan eating plan for a somewhat contradictory diet that boasts plenty of benefits. While the paleo diet has you eating like a cave(wo)man, the vegan diet has you eliminating all animal products. Sound confusing? It kind of is, but it's working wonders for people. On the pegan diet, you can eat some meat, fish, and eggs, but it limits whole grains, dairy, and legumes.
The pegan diet emphasizes nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, meaning it has plenty of benefits for your health. Fruits and vegetables are full of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, helping to prevent disease. The unsaturated fats from fish, seeds, and nuts can boost heart health, and with its emphasis on whole and unprocessed food, the pegan diet eating plan is sure to reduce inflammation.
