“People are astounded to hear that what they eat has a profound effect on our health. It is more powerful than almost anything your doctor can give you or do for you.”

​

That is the opinion of one of the world’s leading researchers into eating habits and food, Dr Thomas Campbell, who co-authored a scientific paper than turned the world of dietary habits and nutrition on its head.

 

“The China Study”, published in 2005, and hundreds of subsequent studies, have revealed what can be considered the optimal diet for health and longevity and it’s pretty simple: no processed foods, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes and whole grains and minimal or no meat, dairy and eggs. It's a "Whole Food Plant Based" (WFPB) lifestyle and the researchers say this is the “most powerful action you can take”.

​

The science is clear: people who do go plant-based will live longer and be healthier than people who don’t. But we know it’s a big ask to go straight from a typical Western lifestyle onto a WFPB lifestyle. The thought of going wholly plant-based straight out of the gates would make most people give up before they even give it a try. We choose not to be be absolute purists (we at TINAD still enjoy a roast at Grandma’s house!) but we are close.

​

 

But eating a majority whole food, predominantly plant-based diet is achievable and affordable and do-able for the average Aussie. The Full of Life approach helps people who want to live their healthiest lives to choose which path is best for them and their family.

 

We call this “Choosing Your Own Adventure” because embarking on a whole new lifestyle is very adventurous – but like a good adventure, the payoffs can be amazing. So... go ahead... choose Your Own Adventure to get into WFPB living. Keep reading to find out how you can choose your own adventure!
