A member of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Dr. Rahman is the clinic director at the Barnard Medical Center in Washington DC where she conducts nutrition education programs, and provides patient care with an emphasis on plant-based nutrition. The simplest and most health-promoting diet is built on whole, plant-based foods that are low in fat, sugar, and sodium and high in fiber and nutrients. This is the ideal diet for fighting inflammation and avoiding chronic disease. But more than a diet, this is a lifestyle. And to be sustainable, the food must be delicious, interesting, and fun to eat. 160 pages.
