The PEGAN DIET combines key PRINCIPLES of PALEO DIET and VEGAN DIET based on the NOTION that NUTRIENT DENSE, WHOLE FOODS can REDUCE INFLAMMATION, BALANCE BLOOD SUGAR, and support OPTIMAL HEALTH. Despite its name, PEGAN DIET is UNIQUE and HAS its OWN set of GUIDELINES. In fact, it's LESS RESTRICTIVE than EITHER a PALEO DIET or VEGAN DIET. Since 75% of the PEGAN DIET is MADE UP of VEGETABLES and FRUIT, less than 25% remains for ANIMAL-BASED PROTEINS. As such, YOU’LL HAVE a much LOWER MEAT intake THAN you would on a TYPICAL PALEO DIET but still MORE THAN on any VEGAN DIET. THIS DIET DISCOURAGES eating CONVENTIONALLY farmed MEATS or EGGS. Instead, it PLACES EMPHASIS on GRASS-FED, PASTURE-RAISED sources of BEEF, PORK, POULTRY, and WHOLE EGGS. It also ENCOURAGES intake of FISH SPECIFICALLY those that tend to have LOW MERCURY CONTENT like SARDINES, TUNA and WILD SALMON. The PEGAN DIET FOCUSES STRONGLY on WHOLE FOODS, or FOODS that have UNDERGONE LITTLE to NO PROCESSING before they make it to YOUR PLATE. This ULTIMATE PEGAN DIET eBook is NOT DESIGNED as a typical, SHORT-TERM DIET. Instead, it AIMS to be more SUSTAINABLE so that YOU can FOLLOW IT INDEFINITELY.
