New to plant based diet

[Slusk]

My husband and I both have certain health issues and recently we've been doing our own research and have decided that we are definitely interested in adopting a plant based diet but we don't know where to start. We are already cutting out meat but now that I've Been reading on all this GMO info about crops modified how do I know what is and what isn't healthy to eat. Signed lost.

Start at the basics. Cut out the animal products and the oils and work out from there. Once you have the basics down then choose what to prioritize after that. You get most of the benefits from the diet that way. Then you can further refine your choices as you learn more with time.

Thanks. I appreciate you responding back to me. We are on our way to a healthier lifestyle. We have cut out beef, poultry, and fowl. Still eat some seafood. Working on the dairy and oils. We have incorporated more fruits and Vegetables. Doing my research and learning about nutrition and what we need to eat to give us the vitamins and minerals we need Once again thanks.

It sounds like you are on your way! It is ironic that we humans change our diet to include much more vegetables and fruits, replacing meat and dairy, and we then begin to worry about the nutrients we are getting when the reality is your nutrient profile will increase, usually dramatically, on this diet.
We are here if you have more questions and we look forward to your comments as you incorporate the diet.
