Plant-Based Nutrition 2nd Ed by Julieanna Hever

This book is part of the Idiot's Guide book series. But it can still be a stand-alone book, like the other books in the series. Like other Idiot's Guide books it is a starting resource with simple explanations and information. For example, you get some definitions of words randomly in the book. It is very informative – the information is quick, easy to understand and not fully delve into in detail information. You get information explained in lists and tables, like a table about Vitamin A food and how much is in it.

It explains different terms and foods of a plant-based diet – like sodium, oil, sugar, fruits. It does not cut out meat completely but lowers the count of it in your diet. Different steps/information like metabolism, eating, and the section's called 'the dairy dilemma' and 'no perfect diet.' There are chapters that are about shopping and exercise with both having an impact on one's nutrition/eating. She does talks about plant-based nutrition and additions to pregnancy, babies and kids, and seniors – so from birth to death, there is a brief information about each general stage of life. There are recipes involved in this book at the end of the book, also having the nutritional facts along with them.

There are a glossary and three other appendices that include sample meal plans, nutritional charts and resources
